Systems and methods for managing data exposure are provided and include a data protection device embedded or otherwise coupled to a computing device. The data protection device receives communications from the computing device and intended for a network resource over a secured connection between the data protection device and the computing device (e.g., a communications interface of the computing device). The data protection device identifies data privacy elements associated with the communication and generates corresponding modified data privacy elements. The data protection device establishes access to the network resource using the modified data privacy elements, thereby causing network hosts attempting to detect the data privacy elements to detect the modified data privacy elements instead.
