Clear product rules, without hidden qualifiers.
Why people ask, proof, quarterly eligibility, exclusions, and free alternatives — stated plainly.
Eligibility varies by broker. A receipt documents submission, not deletion.
What is a data broker?
A company that collects details about people and sells them on. People-search sites are the kind most people meet: type in a name, and a report comes back. They build it from public records, other brokers and public social profiles. Most people never gave any of it to them.
What does a people-search listing show?
Usually your age or birth date, former names, current and past addresses, phone numbers, and relatives’ names, sometimes with their addresses. Some add property, work or court records. Anyone willing to pay can buy the report.
Why would I want my details removed?
Three plain reasons. Your home address is harder to find, which matters most to anyone avoiding a person. Your birth year, old addresses and relatives are common account-recovery answers, so you are harder to impersonate. And there is one less place to buy a report about you. Removal does not stop spam or scams, and sites can add details back, so we ask again four times a year.
How many brokers do you support?
Our public catalog lists 190 broker organizations. It is not a supported-workflow count. Workflow verification and customer eligibility are checked separately for each broker.
Do you guarantee brokers delete my data?
No — no service controls a broker’s final response or timing, and it won’t stop spam or robocalls either. We keep “submitted” and “confirmed” as separate states.
Do you sell my data?
No. We never sell, rent, or trade your data, have no financial ties to any broker, and that rule would bind a future owner too.
What does a Submission Receipt prove?
That we submitted your request with acceptable evidence. It does not prove the broker matched or deleted your record.
How often do you re-submit, and can data come back?
The plan includes four annual rounds, roughly quarterly, for eligible verified broker workflows. Brokers can still refresh their sources afterward, which is why we don’t promise permanent removal.
What’s not covered?
Court, arrest, inmate, mugshot, voter, parcel, and state-resident directories — removing a broker’s copy doesn’t erase the original record. Several brands can also share one suppression action, counted once, not per brand.
Can I do this myself for free?
Yes. Broker opt-out pages are free, Google offers a Results about you removal, and eligible California residents can use the state’s free DROP platform.
Does the annual plan cover a family?
No. The offer covers one individual, so identity, consent, receipts, and notifications stay separate per person.
What should California residents do?
Start with the state’s free DROP platform — we don’t own it, charge for it, or count its request as our own submission.
Can I buy the plan now?
Yes. Create an account, verify your email, sign the broker permission, then review renewal terms at checkout. Stripe collects your card on its own secure page; we never see it.
