Your home address, phone number, and relatives may be listed on dozens of data brokers right now. We send removal requests for the listings you give us and follow up, so you don't spend your weekends filling out opt-out forms.
Self-help & automation · Not a law firm · Not legal advice
Data brokers buy, scrape, and repackage public records, marketing lists, app trackers, loyalty programs, and social profiles into detailed dossiers on you — your full name, home address, phone number, email, relatives, and estimated income. Hundreds of these companies then sell that profile to anyone with a credit card. You never opted in, and most people have no idea how exposed they are until a stranger reads their address back to them. Removing your personal information from the internet starts with knowing every place it lives.
Each broker has its own opt-out process — some want a web form, some a verification email, some a mailed request or even a faxed ID. Doing it yourself means finding your listing on dozens of sites, submitting each removal one by one, and re-checking every few weeks because brokers routinely re-list profiles from fresh data feeds. Send us the listings you find and we submit a removal request to each one, track it, and follow up. When a listing comes back, submit it again; Guardian plans include unlimited requests.
Suppressing your record on a single people-search site does nothing about the dozens of brokers feeding it. And even a clean removal fades — brokers rebuild profiles from new public-record pulls within weeks to months. That is why it pays to re-check the major brokers every few weeks. Guardian plans include unlimited requests, so each re-listing you find is one more request, not one more fee.
Home address and past addresses, phone numbers, personal email addresses, date of birth, relatives and known associates, property and court records that have been repackaged for sale, and the aggregated 'people search' dossiers built from all of it. If a broker is selling a profile of you, it belongs on the removal list.
You tell us the identity details to protect. We generate and send formal opt-out and removal requests to the data brokers and people-search sites that list you, log every confirmation, and — on our ongoing plans — keep watching for re-listings and re-send demands as needed. It is self-help automation: we prepare and send the requests brokers are legally required to honor, so you are not spending your weekends filling out opt-out forms.
Start by identifying every data broker and people-search site that lists you, then submit each site's opt-out or removal request and re-check regularly for re-listings. Because there are dozens of brokers and each has its own process, many people use a removal service to send the requests rather than doing it all by hand.
Timing is set by each site, and we can't predict it. Some respond within days, some take weeks, and some never act. Because brokers re-list from new data feeds, keeping your information off usually takes repeat checks rather than a single pass.
Often, yes. Brokers rebuild profiles from fresh public-record and marketing data, so a listing removed today can reappear weeks or months later. Re-checking every few weeks and re-submitting catches these, which is why Guardian plans include unlimited requests in addition to one-off removals.
Yes — every legitimate broker is required to offer a free opt-out, and you can submit each one yourself. The catch is volume and upkeep: dozens of sites, different processes each, and constant re-listings. Our service exists to automate that grind, not to charge for something you legally cannot do on your own.

Pick a plan, and we send the removal requests and keep following up — one-off takedowns or ongoing protection.
