Data brokers are companies that collect personal information from various sources, analyze it, and sell it to third parties like businesses, insurance companies, financial institutions, governments, or other data brokers.

People search sites compile data into personal profiles, which they sell or make available online. Users can find personal information like addresses, contact details, employment history, beliefs, interests, relatives, and associates with minimal input.

We scan people search sites using the information you provide and remove your data if a match is found. For private data brokers, we identify potential holders of your data and send periodic opt-out requests.

The removal time depends on the data broker. Some process requests within hours, while others may take weeks. You can track each data broker's expected removal time in your dashboard.
