Removal guides

How to remove yourself from data brokers

To remove yourself from data brokers, open each site's opt-out page, submit your listing, and confirm by email. We cover 50 of the sites that publish your name, address and phone. Pick one below, or let Deindex file every removal for you.

Prefer to understand the landscape first? Read the Deindex blog, see who this is for, or start with a big people-search site like removing yourself from Spokeo.

Filing these one at a time takes months. The data broker opt out overview explains the process end to end, our ranked comparison covers the best data removal service for doing it at scale, and the full playbook shows how to remove your information from the internet including the parts no broker opt-out reaches.

No site matches that search. Try a shorter term, or run a free scan to find where you are actually listed.

People-search sites

Consumer-facing sites that publish your name, age, current and past addresses, phone numbers and relatives, assembled from public records and sold to anyone.

Background-check sites

Sites that compile and sell background reports, exposing address history, phone numbers and relatives in a free preview to pull buyers in.

Data brokers

Business-grade brokers that aggregate contact and identity records, including the B2B contact databases that leak your work email and phone.

Marketing data brokers

Companies that build advertising and audience profiles from your data and sell the segments to marketers and platforms.

Search engine removals

The official tools that take your personal information and outdated pages out of search results, so a name search stops surfacing them.

Or skip the forms

Deindex files every one of these for you

Doing this by hand is one opt-out form at a time, then chasing every relisting for months. Deindex runs a real scan, files the lawful removals across the full catalog, keeps dated before-and-after proof, and re-files automatically when a broker puts you back.

We only do lawful removals: erasure under GDPR Article 17, delete requests under the CCPA and CPRA, and the opt-out routes brokers publish themselves. We cannot remove news reporting, court filings or other public records, and we tell you which listings those are.
