No broker listing ranked today. That is not the same as being private: search engines demote people-search pages, and the brokers still publish to anyone who searches them directly.
Reconstructed best-effort from live public search listings.
The live top results for your name, reconstructed from public search. The "data broker" badge is matched against our own directory of 45 brokers.
These brokers index US adults and each opt-out link is real and free. We have not checked each one for your name, and we will not pretend otherwise. That is what the full service does.
Your removal plan
The live search is busy right now, so we will not guess at listings. Here are the brokers to clear first, from our directory of 45 real data brokers, each with its free opt-out form.
Scan limit reached
You have used your free scans for now. The free scan is capped per visitor. Your plan re-scans for you every month without a cap.
DataRemoval's AI scans the data brokers and people-search sites that publish you. It files every opt-out for you and keeps re-checking, so your data stays gone. Get started today.
Built by an independent software company (dataremoval.ai).
Data brokers sell your address and phone number. In January 2024 the FTC ordered two of them, X-Mode and InMarket, to stop selling precise location data. FTC
The problem
Your home address is a product, and it is for sale right now
Hundreds of companies collect your name, age, home address, phone number, relatives, and income band from public records, then publish them or sell them on. That is where the spam calls come from. It is also where someone who wants to find you starts.
Opting out works. It is just that there are a hundred forms, several want a phone call or a photo of your ID, and the listings come back a few months later when a new public record ties your name to an address again. That last part is the whole reason this is a service and not a weekend.

The anatomy of a listing
This is what a stranger sees when they search your name
Six fields, no login, no payment. Age narrows you down, the address puts you on a map, the relatives confirm they have the right person, and the past addresses reconstruct a decade of your life. Every one of those fields is removable.
Press Removed and watch what a filed opt-out actually does.
A typical listing
Jordan A. Reese
- Age
- 41
- Current address
- 2118 Marbury Lane, Austin, TX
- Phone
- (512) 555-0148
- j.reese@example.com
- Relatives
- Marta Reese, Devin Reese
- Past addresses
- 3 previous, since 2011
Jordan A. Reese is invented, and so is every value above. This is an illustration of the fields a people-search site publishes about a US adult, not a real person's record.
What changes for you
Fewer people know where you live, and it stays that way
The spam calls thin out
Robocallers and lead brokers buy their lists from the same aggregators that publish your number. Cut the supply at the source and the volume drops.
Your address leaves the front page
People-search results often outrank everything else for your name. Removing them changes what a stranger, a recruiter, or an angry customer finds first.
It does not quietly come back
Listings reappear. Monthly re-scanning is the difference between a clean weekend of work and a result that holds a year from now.
How it works
Scan, file, verify, monitor
-
01 Scan
We search all 45 data brokers and people-search sites in our directory for listings that match you: your name, the addresses tied to it, your age, and the relatives brokers use to tell you apart. The exposure scan above is the free, public half of this: a live search of what your name returns today.
-
02 File
AI agents complete each broker's opt-out on your behalf: the web forms, the email confirmations, the phone verifications, the ones that want a covered ID. Where a broker rejects automation, a person takes it over.
-
03 Verify
We go back and look. A request that was filed is not a listing that is gone, so each broker gets re-checked and the result goes in your removal log with the date and the evidence.
-
04 Monitor
Every month, the whole scan runs again. When a listing reappears, and some will, it is filed again automatically. This is the part a one-time cleanup cannot give you.
The math
What doing it yourself really costs
Every opt-out on this site is free, and we tell you how to file all of them. The cost was never the forms. It is the hours, and then the hours again, every time the listings come back.
Move the sliders. The numbers are yours, not ours.

Full write-ups: best data removal services compared, DeleteMe alternative and Incogni alternative.
Comparing more than these two? We read the plan pages and refund terms of each service in our Incogni review, DeleteMe review, Optery review, OneRep review and Aura data removal review. If you already pay for identity theft protection, check whether it removes anything at all: our Identity Guard review and LifeLock data broker removal pages show where those plans stop.
You might be thinking
"My data is already out there. What is the point?"
The point is friction. Most harm starts with someone finding your address in ten seconds for free.
You might be thinking
"I will just do it myself one weekend."
Please do, and use our guides. Then put a recurring reminder in your calendar, because the listings return.
You might be thinking
"What if a listing comes back?"
That is why the service re-scans every month and files again when a listing reappears.

Objections
The questions worth asking
Including the ones with answers we would rather not give.
Is removing my data from these sites legal?
Yes. Every data broker in our directory operates a voluntary opt-out, and in 20 US states a comprehensive privacy law gives you an enforceable right to have the data deleted. You are asking a company to stop publishing information about you, which you are entitled to do.
Do you store the name I type into the scan?
No. The name goes to the search, the result comes back to your browser, and nothing is written to a database or a log. There is no account, no cookie tied to the name, and no way for us to reconstruct who ran a scan. The privacy policy says the same thing in more detail.
How fast do removals start?
Removals start as soon as your account is set up and your details are confirmed. We file with the largest people-search sites first, because they feed the smaller ones. Most brokers process an opt-out within days to a few weeks, and every request appears in your log with its date and status, so you can watch each listing come down.
Why is there no free plan?
Filing and re-filing opt-outs across a hundred brokers has a real cost per person, every month, forever. A free tier would mean cutting the monitoring, which is the part that actually works. The exposure scan is free and always will be, and the opt-out list tells you how to do the whole thing by hand for nothing.
How is this different from DeleteMe or Incogni?
Does my data come back after it is removed?
Yes, routinely. Brokers re-ingest public records continuously, so a listing removed in March can reappear in June when a new property record, voter file, or change of address ties your name to an address again. This is the single most important fact in the category, and it is why a one-time cleanup does not hold.
Can my company buy this for our employees?
That is the plan. The Business plan covers staff data removal with one dated removal log, CSV and PDF export, custom removals, and an invoice for every payment, at $10 per employee a month billed yearly ($20 month to month) from 20 employees. Pick it on the pricing page and set your headcount at checkout, or see the employee data removal page.
