LifeLock Data Broker Removal: What It Costs on Core, Advanced and Total, and What It Actually Removes
The short answer
LifeLock includes Automatic Data Broker Removal on all three current plans: LifeLock Core at $124.99 a year ($12.49 monthly), Advanced at $199.99 and Total at $349.99, checked 10 September 2026. Norton's support documentation identifies the feature as Privacy Monitor Assistant Lite, "a lighter, mostly automatic version" that "automatically sends removal requests for a smaller set of supported data broker sites" about every 90 days, without agent handling of brokers that need manual steps. Neither LifeLock nor Norton publishes how many brokers that set contains. That makes LifeLock a good buy for identity theft reimbursement and credit alerts, and a weak buy if removal is the goal: Incogni Standard covers 420+ brokers for $95.88 a year and Optery Core covers 405+ sites for $39.00.

LifeLock added data broker removal to its plans when it relaunched its lineup as Core, Advanced and Total, and it now sits on the plan cards as "Automatic Data Broker Removal", marked new. For somebody choosing between an identity theft service and a data removal service, that sounds like it settles the question. It settles less than it seems, because the most useful sentence about the feature is not on the LifeLock site at all. It is in a Norton support document, and it says the feature covers "a smaller set" of brokers without saying how small.
We read LifeLock's plan pages, the official LifeLock feature comparison and Norton's Privacy Monitor support document on 10 September 2026. Prices and quotes below come from those pages.
What LifeLock data broker removal costs on Core, Advanced and Total
All three current LifeLock plans include Automatic Data Broker Removal, so the cheapest way to get it is LifeLock Core. The plans differ in reimbursement limits and financial monitoring, not in removal. Unusually for this category, LifeLock's plan pages show the yearly price renewing at the same figure rather than jumping in year two.
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
| Plan | 1 adult | Monthly | 2 adults | Stolen funds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LifeLock Core | $124.99 | $12.49 | $224.99 | Up to $25,000 |
| LifeLock Advanced | $199.99 | $19.99 | $359.99 | Up to $100,000 |
| LifeLock Total | $349.99 | $34.99 | $629.99 | Up to $1M |
Paying monthly on Core comes to $149.88 a year, $24.89 more than the yearly price, and only yearly plans carry LifeLock's 60-day money-back guarantee. The household plans with children are $344.99 (Core), $479.99 (Advanced) and $749.99 (Total) a year. One detail on those: the plan cards list data broker removal "for each adult". Children get monitoring on the family plans, not removal.
The two bundles that pair LifeLock with Norton antivirus are priced differently. Norton 360 with LifeLock Select is $99.99 for the first year and renews at $159.99, and Norton 360 with LifeLock Ultimate Plus is $299.99 and renews at $364.99. The features those plan cards display do not include Automatic Data Broker Removal, so if removal is part of why you are buying a bundle, open the full feature list before you check out.
What Automatic Data Broker Removal actually is
Norton, which makes LifeLock (both are Gen Digital brands), sells three different privacy features with very similar names, and the support document that explains them is the only place the difference is spelled out. Automatic Data Broker Removal is the smallest of the three removal options. In Norton's words, it is "sometimes shown as Automatic Data Broker Removal" and is "a lighter, mostly automatic version of Privacy Monitor Assistant that is included with some newer LifeLock and partner plans".
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
| Feature | Who files | Which brokers | Where you get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Privacy Monitor | You do | Scans the published roster | Many Norton 360 and LifeLock plans |
| Automatic Data Broker Removal | Automated | "A smaller set", count not published | LifeLock Core, Advanced, Total |
| Privacy Monitor Assistant | Norton staff | Supported brokers, plus special cases | Add-on or standalone, $109.99 a year |
The same document lists what the lighter version leaves out. It "automatically sends removal requests for a smaller set of supported data broker sites", rescans "about every 90 days", and "does not include Online Account Cleaner and does not provide full agent white-glove handling of special cases". That last part matters more than it sounds. Special cases are the brokers that want an ID upload, a phone call or a mailed form, and they tend to be the ones that keep your listing up longest.
How many data brokers does LifeLock remove you from?
LifeLock does not say. Its own feature comparison describes the service as removing your information "from many data brokers", and Norton's support document says "a smaller set" without a number. The one roster Norton does publish, titled "Data Brokers supported by Privacy Monitoring", is the scan list, not the removal list. When we counted it for our Norton Privacy Monitor Assistant review, it came to 368 entries, 62 percent of them per-state versions of five record sites.
The only third-party figure we found is Security.org's, whose LifeLock comparison (updated 3 September 2026) says "LifeLock only focuses on 33" data brokers. Treat that as a rough guide rather than a verified count, because the same article still prices LifeLock under older plan names. Either way, it is far below the 420+ that Incogni publishes or the 986 that DeleteMe does.
Does LifeLock remove information from data brokers?
Yes, on LifeLock Core, Advanced and Total, but only from a limited, unpublished set of brokers. The feature scans and submits removal requests automatically about every 90 days. It does not handle brokers that need manual steps, and Norton's full agent-assisted service, Privacy Monitor Assistant, is a separate purchase. On older or bundled plans you may only have the scan.
Does LifeLock remove personal information from the internet?
Only the part that sits on the data broker sites it covers. LifeLock does not take down news articles, social media posts, court records at the source, or pages on sites that are not brokers. For Google results specifically, Google's own removal tools do more, and for broad broker coverage a dedicated removal service reaches several times as many sites as LifeLock's feature.
Does LifeLock remove information from the dark web?
No, and no service can. Data on dark web markets and breach dumps cannot be deleted by request. LifeLock monitors for your details there and alerts you, and that is genuinely useful because the alert tells you which password to change or which card to cancel. Removal services do not offer that monitoring, which is one of the real differences between the two kinds of product.
Is LifeLock worth it for data broker removal?
Not if removal is the main reason you are buying. LifeLock Core costs $124.99 a year and covers an unpublished "smaller set" of brokers. Incogni Standard costs $95.88 for 420+, and Optery Core costs $39.00 for 405+ sites. LifeLock is worth it for what it is built for: identity theft reimbursement, credit and bank account alerts, and restoration specialists.
LifeLock vs Incogni for data broker removal
They solve different problems, which is why plenty of people end up paying for both. Incogni sends removal requests to 420+ brokers, including marketing and data enrichment firms, for $95.88 a year with a 30-day refund, and it does nothing if your identity is actually stolen. LifeLock Core costs $124.99, covers far fewer brokers, and pays out up to $25,000 in stolen funds plus restoration help if the worst happens. If you can only have one, pick by which risk worries you more: being findable, or being defrauded. Our Incogni review covers its four plans and the month-to-month pricing trap.
What LifeLock is genuinely good at
It would be unfair to judge LifeLock only on removal. The plans are built around reimbursement and restoration, and on that job they are strong: a U.S.-based specialist works the case, the Million Dollar Protection Package covers lawyers and experts on every plan, and Advanced and Total add scam reimbursement of $5,000 and $10,000. Total also watches bank account takeovers, 401(k) activity, home titles and SIM swaps, which no removal service touches.
Reimbursement claims run on paperwork, though. If you ever file one, you will be asked for every unauthorized transaction with its date and amount, and most banks hand you those months as PDF statements. It is much quicker to convert those PDF bank statements into a spreadsheet and filter for the charges you did not make than to retype them line by line while you are also on the phone with your bank.
What to buy instead, depending on the problem
If the problem is your name, address and phone number showing up on people-search sites, buy a removal service and skip LifeLock's version. The best data removal services roundup ranks them on price, coverage and the one independent test anyone has published. If spam calls are the daily pain, a privacy bundle may fit better, and our Cloaked pricing review counts what its "1,000+ sites" actually contains. If fraud is the fear, LifeLock is a reasonable buy on its own terms.
Before paying anyone, find out which sites are publishing you right now. The exposure scan at the top of this page is free, takes about a minute, and tells you whether you are dealing with a handful of listings or a few dozen.
