Scope and operator
Data Broker Remover is the public service name for Data Broker Remover Inc.. This notice applies to the public website, the affiliate application, the individual annual service, the customer dashboard, support, and related communications operated by Data Broker Remover Inc., 58835 Standing Stone Dr., North Fork, CA 93643.
Data Broker Remover acts only on an adult customer’s authorization to submit supported opt-out, deletion, or suppression requests. It is not a data broker. It does not sell personal information, does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and does not use a removal profile for targeted advertising. It has no ownership, affiliate, or financial relationship with any data broker.
Information we collect
- Account and contact information, such as name, email address, authentication records, settings, and service communications.
- Removal-profile information, such as current and prior names, addresses or cities, email addresses, phone numbers, and birth year when a supported workflow needs them.
- Authorization, eligibility, quarterly-removal-submission, request, status, broker-confirmation, and Submission Receipt records.
- Original or redacted evidence, such as a post-submit image, sent-message artifact, broker reference, or confirmation event.
- Payment status, invoice identifiers, payment-method suffix, fraud signals, and refund or dispute records. Card details are collected directly by the payment provider and do not pass through ordinary Data Broker Remover application fields.
- Support messages and ordinary device, browser, network, security, rate-limit, and audit records needed to operate and protect the service.
- Affiliate-application information, including contact name, organization, email, website or channels, audience geography and size, promotion plan, affiliations, required acknowledgements, and delivery or abuse-prevention metadata.
- Accepted-affiliate relationship records, such as the affiliate identifier, referral and commission records, the affiliate agreement version you accepted and the date you accepted it, payout status, tax-document status, and relationship communications. A payment or tax provider may collect sensitive payout or tax details directly under its own notice rather than through the application form.
Data Broker Remover does not request or accept Social Security numbers or government identity documents through this service. When a broker requires identity-document verification, the customer uses the broker’s own official channel and the document does not pass through Data Broker Remover. One narrow exception applies to affiliate partners, and only to them: United States tax law requires a Form W-9 before an affiliate is paid $600 or more in a calendar year, and that form carries a taxpayer identification number. It is collected and held by a tax provider under its own notice. Data Broker Remover records only that the form was received and where it is filed, never the number itself, and a partner paid less than that in a year is never asked for one.
Where information comes from
Information comes from you, your authorized actions in the account, the device and network used to reach the service, payment and service providers, supported brokers and website operators, and records created while Data Broker Remover performs the authorized service.
Do not provide information about another person unless you have valid authority and the applicable product supports that relationship.
How we use information
- Create, authenticate, secure, and support the account.
- Match supported broker records and prepare, submit, track, and document authorized requests.
- Process supported broker messages, customer actions, Submission Receipts, and later confirmation events.
- Process billing, cancellation, refunds, disputes, and required accounting records.
- Review affiliate applications, communicate with applicants, and prevent application abuse.
- Detect fraud, protect customers and the service, investigate incidents, maintain audit history, and comply with law.
- Measure and improve reliability using minimized, aggregated, or de-identified operational information where practical.
Removal-profile information is not used to train a general-purpose AI model. Any optional AI-assisted feature requires a specific disclosure of its role, provider, data boundary, and control before use.
When information is disclosed
A supported request necessarily sends selected profile fields to the applicable broker or website operator. Data Broker Remover sends only what the workflow requires. Those recipients control their own systems and privacy practices after receiving the request.
Providers receive only the information needed for their documented role, such as hosting, DNS and security, authentication, payment, transactional email, evidence storage, support, monitoring, backups, and fraud prevention. To ask which service providers are currently in use, email privacy@databrokerremover.com.
Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect a person or the service, investigate fraud or abuse, or respond to a valid legal process. If Data Broker Remover is ever part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or asset sale, personal information may transfer only under written terms that bind the successor to the commitments in this notice, including the commitment never to sell personal information. Data Broker Remover does not disclose removal-profile information to advertisers, data brokers for their own use, or affiliates for marketing.
Cookies, local storage, and tracking
The service uses only browser storage needed for security, session continuity, preferences, service operation, and referral or affiliate attribution. It does not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site behavioral tracking. Browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals therefore do not change a sale, sharing, or targeted-advertising practice, because no such practice occurs.
A referral or affiliate link (databrokerremover.com/r/{code}) sets one additional first-party cookie, dbr-referral, for 30 days. It records only which link brought the visit, so a purchase can later be attributed to it and a partner or referrer paid; it carries no other identity, cannot be read by a script on any page, and is never used for advertising or cross-site tracking.
The public affiliate application uses a first-party ALTCHA proof to reduce automated abuse. It does not call a hosted CAPTCHA provider from the browser.
Affiliate applications
The affiliate form links directly to this section at the point of collection. The categories collected are: contact and professional identifiers; public website and channel information; audience geography and estimated reach; promotion plans and relevant affiliations; required acknowledgements; and ordinary network, security, and abuse-prevention metadata.
The information is used to evaluate the application, communicate with the applicant, maintain an application decision, prevent abuse, and administer an accepted relationship. Data Broker Remover does not sell it or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. The application does not request customer records, payout credentials, tax IDs, government identity documents, payment-card data, or Social Security numbers.
Unaccepted application records are retained while under review and for up to 12 months after the last activity. Accepted-affiliate records may be retained for the relationship and any required contract, fraud-prevention, payment, or tax period.
A partner who also holds an account here and deletes it has their partner name and contact address removed, unless a commission may still be owed. The opaque referral code, the partnership dates, and the record of decisions about the partnership are kept either way, so a payment can still be traced to a code and an approval can still be shown. The name and address are removed once the payment-record period ends.
Submission Receipts and broker messages
A Submission Receipt records evidence that a supported request left Data Broker Remover. It can identify the broker or direct action, request channel, timestamp, request identifier, source of the status, and a redacted evidence artifact. It does not by itself prove that the broker matched or deleted every record.
Supported broker messages are processed only to correlate an expected confirmation or customer action with a request. Raw message content and original evidence are retained for less time than the redacted customer history when that can be done securely.
Retention and deletion
- Removal profile and historical authorization proof: for the active paid term; after the term ends, up to 90 days for export unless deletion is requested sooner. Retained proof does not reactivate permission; reactivation requires a new grant.
- Submission Receipts and redacted receipt history: for the active paid term and up to 90 days afterward, unless deletion is requested sooner.
- Original submission evidence and supported confirmation-message content: up to 90 days after the related receipt is created; then retain only the redacted receipt fields needed for the customer history.
- Abandoned onboarding information: up to 14 days.
- Ordinary web, device, and network logs: up to 30 days; access and security-event logs: up to 90 days unless an incident requires a restricted legal or security hold.
- Closed support records: up to 24 months, with sensitive attachments removed earlier when they are no longer needed.
- Billing and transaction records: only the fields needed for refunds, disputes, tax, and accounting obligations, for up to seven years where required. The payment processor may retain separate records under its own notice.
- Verified account-deletion request: remove eligible information from active systems within 7 days and allow encrypted backup copies to expire within 30 days, subject to disclosed legal, fraud, dispute, and security exceptions.
- Terms versions, recurring-billing assent, checkout disclosures, post-purchase acknowledgments, and renewal, price-change, or material-change notice-delivery records: the active relationship plus at least three years, or one year after termination, whichever is later; retained longer only for a documented legal, billing, fraud, or dispute need.
- Affiliate applications: while the application is under review and for up to 12 months after the last activity; accepted-affiliate records may be retained for the relationship and any required contract, fraud-prevention, payment, or tax period.
These are maximum periods, not permission to keep information that is no longer needed. A restricted legal, fraud, dispute, or security hold applies only to the affected records and ends when its documented reason ends.
Privacy choices and rights
Data Broker Remover offers access, correction, a portable export, deletion, and an appeal path to every U.S. customer and to every U.S. affiliate applicant and partner, even where a state law does not require all of them. When authenticated controls are available, use them or contact privacy@databrokerremover.com. Depending on applicable law, you may also have rights to know, opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, limit certain sensitive-data uses, use an authorized agent, and receive nondiscriminatory service.
Data Broker Remover verifies a request using information already associated with the account and asks only for additional information reasonably necessary to prevent unauthorized access or deletion. An authorized agent may contact privacy_agent@databrokerremover.com; authority and customer identity may be verified as the law permits.
Because Data Broker Remover does not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use sensitive profile information for unrelated purposes, an opt-out signal does not change those practices. Data Broker Remover will recognize applicable browser-based signals such as Global Privacy Control if a covered sale or sharing practice is ever introduced.
Deleting the removal profile ends future work that cannot operate without it. Some billing, fraud, dispute, security, or legal-hold records may remain only for the disclosed purpose and retention period.
Support is by email and is not staffed 24/7. Data Broker Remover does not publish a guaranteed response time.
Children
The individual service is for adults age 18 or older and does not knowingly accept a removal profile for a minor. The public website and affiliate application are not directed to children under 13. If Data Broker Remover learns that it collected personal information online from a child under 13 without any consent required by law, it will investigate and take the steps required by applicable law, which may include deletion.
Security
The Security Overview page describes the controls documented for the current public website. Customer accounts, removal profiles, billing, and original-evidence systems are not yet operational; their controls will be verified and described before they go live.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Report a suspected security issue through the Responsible Disclosure Policy rather than sending customer information, credentials, or destructive proof through a general support message.
Changes and contact
Material changes are dated and communicated before they take effect when practical. Contact privacy@databrokerremover.com for privacy questions or requests, privacy_agent@databrokerremover.com for authorized-agent requests, and support@databrokerremover.com for general help. Formal mail may be sent to Data Broker Remover Inc., 58835 Standing Stone Dr., North Fork, CA 93643.
Do not send Social Security numbers, identity documents, passwords, authentication codes, payment-card details, or broker confirmation links by general email. Send only the minimum information needed to identify and handle the request.
