Privacy Protection
Privacy Protection Services
Take your personal data back. Data brokers collect and resell your information continuously — we remove it and keep watching so it doesn't quietly reappear.
Quick overview
- Privacy protection covers two connected services: a data broker removal pass, and ongoing monitoring for re-exposure. See both services.
- Data brokers refresh their listings every few months, so a one-time removal pass rarely holds on its own. See why monitoring matters.
- Dealing with a specific review, article, or court record rather than a broker profile? That's Content Removal. See related services.

What privacy protection covers
Privacy protection is different from removing a specific piece of content. Instead of one review, article, or photo, this is about the dozens of profile pages that data broker and people-search sites build automatically — pulling your name, home address, phone number, relatives, and employment history from public records and third-party data, then republishing it as a searchable profile anyone can find for a few dollars, or often for free.
These sites don't operate off a single database.
Spokeo, WhitePages, BeenVerified, and dozens of others each maintain their own listings, refreshed independently and re-populated from the same underlying public and commercial data sources. That's why a one-time removal request to a handful of sites rarely holds: even after a listing is taken down, the broker's next data refresh — typically every few months — can quietly rebuild it from the same source records, without any new action on your part.
Removal and ongoing monitoring
That's the reason privacy protection here is split into two connected services rather than one.
The first is a removal pass: systematically submitting opt-out requests across the data broker sites that currently list you, with verification that each listing is actually gone, not just marked pending. The second is ongoing monitoring: periodic re-checks of those same sites, and any new ones that pick up your information, so a re-listing gets caught and removed again before it sits online for months unnoticed.
Both serve the same underlying goal: making it meaningfully harder for a stranger — an ex-partner, an online harasser, a scammer running a search on your name — to pull your home address or phone number from a five-minute Google search.
Neither promises your information vanishes from the internet permanently; no service can guarantee that. What we can do is keep the listings that are realistically removable off the major broker and people-search sites, and catch re-exposure quickly when it happens.
If what's exposed about you is a public record tied to a specific incident — a court filing, an arrest — rather than a broker profile, that typically falls under content removal instead (see Content Removal, below), since the removal path is different.
Data Broker Removal
Systematic removal of your home address, phone number, family info, and employment history from data broker sites, with verification on every request.
Ongoing Privacy Monitoring
Continuous monitoring after the initial removal pass, since data brokers re-acquire and re-list personal information over time.

Common questions
Do I need both data broker removal and ongoing monitoring, or just one?
Most clients start with data broker removal to clear what's currently exposed, then add monitoring since brokers re-list information every few months. If your situation is lower-risk, removal alone can be enough — your free assessment will tell you honestly which fits.
What's the difference between privacy protection and content removal?
Content removal targets a specific piece of content — a review, article, court record, or image — tied to an event or publication. Privacy protection targets your underlying personal data — home address, phone number, relatives, employment history — as it's resold by data broker and people-search sites. Many clients need both; your free assessment tells you which applies.
