What Information Is Exposed About You Right Now
Most people are shocked by what data brokers publish openly. These sites scrape public records, social media, voter registrations, court filings, purchase histories, and dozens of other sources, then package it into profiles anyone can access without your knowledge or consent.
A typical data broker profile on you includes:
- Full legal name and any aliases
- Home address — current and historical
- Phone numbers — mobile and landline
- Email addresses
- Relatives’ and housemates’ names
- Estimated age and date of birth
- Employer and work history
- Property records and estimated home value
- Vehicles registered in your name
- Social media profiles and photos
- Criminal and court records
- Political affiliation and voter registration
This information is used by scammers for targeted phishing, by stalkers to locate victims, by marketers to flood your inbox, and by data aggregators who sell it to anyone willing to pay a few dollars per search.
How Our Removal Service Works
We handle the entire process, from finding your exposures to submitting removals to monitoring that they stay gone. Here’s exactly what happens after you sign up:
- 1. Free Exposure Scan — We search 150+ data broker databases for your name, address, and phone number and show you every site that currently has a profile on you.
- 2. Removal Requests Submitted — Within 24 hours of signup, our system begins submitting opt-out and removal requests to every site that lists your data. Some sites respond in hours; others take up to 30 days.
- 3. Verification & Follow-Up — We verify each removal is confirmed and follow up on any sites that ignore initial requests. Stubborn sites escalate through formal complaint channels.
- 4. Continuous Monitoring — Data brokers regularly re-add removed data by re-scraping public records. We scan for your information monthly (or more frequently, depending on your plan) and re-submit removals the moment your data reappears.
- 5. Your Dashboard — Log in any time to see which sites have been cleared, which are pending, and your full removal history.

Sites We Remove Your Data From
We submit opt-out and removal requests to 150+ data broker sites — including the biggest aggregators and hundreds of smaller regional, specialty, and reseller databases. Here's a partial list:
Why DIY Opt-Outs Don't Last
Every data broker site technically offers a free opt-out process, we’re often asked why you’d pay for something you can do yourself. Here’s the honest answer:
- It never ends. Each data broker has its own opt-out process, most require filling out a separate form, verifying your identity, and waiting up to 30 days for removal. There are 150+ sites to work through. That’s 150+ separate processes, right now.
- They add your data back. Data brokers scrape public records continuously. Even after a successful opt-out, your data reappears, often within weeks, because nothing has changed in the underlying source. You’d need to re-opt-out repeatedly, forever.
- The process is designed to be difficult. Many sites use dark patterns to frustrate opt-outs: broken forms, unreachable verification emails, confusing multi-step confirmations, and ‘opt-out windows’ that expire before you get to them.
- New brokers keep appearing. The data broker industry adds dozens of new sites each year. A DIY opt-out from today’s list doesn’t cover tomorrow’s new sites.
Our service handles all of this automatically, the initial opt-outs, the re-removals, the new sites, and the follow-up, on a continuous basis.

FAQs
Initial removals begin within 24 hours of signup. Most data broker sites confirm removal within 7–30 days, depending on the site. Some faster sites complete in hours. We send you confirmation as each removal is verified.
Yes, data brokers regularly re-scrape public records and re-add removed profiles, often within weeks. That's exactly why ongoing monitoring is essential. Our service re-scans your name every month (or more frequently on higher plans) and re-submits removals the moment your data reappears.
We remove data from the source sites that Google indexes, which in most cases causes Google's cached result to disappear as well once the underlying page is gone. For direct Google de-indexing requests, we handle those as part of the process where applicable.
Most sites honor opt-out requests, but some are persistently non-compliant. For sites that refuse removal, we escalate through formal complaint channels, including state attorney general offices in jurisdictions with applicable data privacy laws, and we'll advise you if legal action may be warranted.
We only collect the information needed to search for your data, typically your name, address, and phone number, and we use it exclusively to submit opt-out requests on your behalf. We don't sell your data, share it with third parties, or retain it beyond what's needed to provide the service.
Data broker removal is separate from news article suppression or court record removal. We specialize in data broker removal. For news articles or search result suppression, our personal reputation management service handles those, see our Personal Reputation Management page for details.
Our standard service covers US-based data broker sites. Many of our clients are US residents or people whose US-based data has been published. International coverage is available on our Total Shield plan, contact us to discuss.
You can cancel any time. Removals already completed remain in effect until the site re-adds your data, but without ongoing monitoring and re-removal, most profiles will reappear within a few months as brokers re-scrape public records.
