About ReputationPrivacy

We get your personal information off the internet.

Your address, phone number, age, family members, and even estimated income are listed publicly on data broker sites you’ve probably never heard of. We remove them — and keep them removed.

The problem we exist to solve

There are hundreds of companies — called data brokers — whose entire business model is collecting your personal information and selling it.

They pull from public records (property deeds, court filings, voter rolls), social media, loyalty programs, app permissions, marketing databases, and sometimes leaked datasets. They aggregate it into a single profile and put it on a website where anyone — a stalker, a scammer, a recruiter, a curious neighbor — can find it with a Google search.

Most people have no idea this is happening. The first time they find out is usually when they search their own name and see their home address, the names of their kids, and their phone number on a site like Spokeo or BeenVerified. By then the same record has been syndicated to fifty other sites.

You have the legal right to be removed from most of these sites. The problem is that exercising that right takes hours per site, every site has a different process, and even after you’re removed they re-add you within weeks. We do that work for you, continuously.

Why we started this

We started ReputationPrivacy after years of watching the same pattern: someone gets harassed online, or stalked, or scammed, and when they try to clean up their digital footprint they hit a wall. The instructions for opting out are buried. The “request removal” forms don’t work. The brokers re-list the data anyway. The whole system is designed to make it exhausting to opt out.

So we built a service that does the exhausting part. We file the removal requests, we follow up, we verify the deletions, and we monitor for re-listings. You sign up once and we handle the rest.

We don’t sell your information to anyone, ever. That’s the entire point of the company.

How the service actually works

Three steps. The first one takes you about two minutes. The other two are on us.

1

Scan

You give us your name and a few details to identify you (address, date of birth — used only to match records, never sold). We run a scan across the data broker network and surface every site that has a record on you. You see the list before we do anything else.

2

Remove

We file the appropriate removal request for each site. Some brokers accept automated requests; others require email, phone calls, or notarized forms. We handle whichever process applies. Most removals complete within 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the site.

3

Protect

We re-scan continuously. When a broker re-lists your data — and they will — we file removal again. You get monthly reports showing what’s been removed, what’s pending, and what’s been re-published. You can log in and see status any time.

Who we work with

Most of our customers fall into one of these groups. If you see yourself here, this service is built for you.

People dealing with harassment or stalking

If someone is using your home address or phone number to harass you, getting that information off public sites is the first defensive step.

Doctors, nurses, and clinicians

Healthcare workers are increasingly targeted by patients with grievances. Many states now have laws letting you remove your address from public records — we handle the broker side.

Attorneys and judges

You handle adversarial work. Keeping your home off the internet is basic operational security.

Executives and public figures

Anyone whose role attracts public attention — or whose net worth makes them a target — benefits from a reduced data footprint.

Survivors of abuse or violence

If you’ve moved to get away from someone, you don’t want a Google search to lead them to your new address. We treat these cases with priority and discretion.

Anyone who values privacy

You don’t need a specific threat to want your home address off the open internet. “I don’t want random people knowing where I live” is a complete reason.

How we’re different from doing it yourself — and from other services

The privacy industry has gotten crowded. Here’s what we actually do differently.

We do the manual work, not just the automated work

Some sites won’t accept automated opt-outs. We send the certified mail, make the phone calls, and submit the notarized forms when required. Many competitors only handle the easy sites.

Continuous, not one-time

Brokers re-add your data constantly. A one-time removal is worthless. Our monitoring re-files removal requests automatically when re-listings appear.

Transparent reporting

You see every site we’ve contacted, the current status of each request, and the date of removal. No vague “we’re protecting you” dashboards.

We don’t resell your data — ever

The information you give us is used only to identify your records on broker sites. We don’t sell it, share it with partners, or use it for advertising. That’s not a marketing claim; it’s the business model.

Reputation work, not just privacy

We help suppress negative search results, build positive content, and improve what shows up when someone searches your name. Most privacy services don’t do this.

Real people, not chatbots

When you email support, a person who knows the case responds. Our team handles the complex cases (court records, news articles, defamation) directly.

Questions people ask before signing up

Straight answers. If your question isn’t here, email us.

Can’t I just opt out of these sites myself?

Yes. Every broker is legally required to offer an opt-out. The problem is scale and persistence. There are over 200 data broker sites. Each has a different process. Some require email confirmations from an address registered to you. Some require a notarized affidavit. Some require a fax. And every one of them re-lists your data within a few weeks of removal because new data flows in from their sources.

Doing it once across all 200+ sites takes about 40 hours of focused work. Maintaining it is essentially a part-time job.

How long until my information is actually gone?

Most removals complete within 4 to 6 weeks. Some are faster (24-72 hours for sites with automated opt-outs). A handful are slower because they require mailed forms or third-party verification — those can take 8 to 10 weeks.

You can track each one in your dashboard. We don’t hide pending requests behind a vague “in progress” status.

What information do I have to give you?

Your name, current and previous addresses, phone numbers you’ve used, your date of birth, and the email addresses associated with your accounts. This is what brokers index against, so we need it to identify the records that belong to you specifically.

We don’t ask for, and don’t want, your Social Security number, bank details, or government ID.

Do you sell my data, share it, or use it for ads?

No. We’re a privacy company. Selling user data would end the business. The information you provide is used only to file removal requests on your behalf and is stored encrypted. We don’t share it with marketing partners, advertisers, or any third party that isn’t directly involved in processing a removal.

Can you remove me from Google search results?

Google itself doesn’t host the content — it just indexes it. When we remove the underlying record from a broker site, the Google result for that page goes away on its next crawl (usually within days to a few weeks).

For some types of content (doxxing, non-consensual intimate imagery, financial information), Google offers direct removal regardless of the source site. We help with those requests too.

What about my old social media accounts and forum posts?

Those aren’t broker records, but they’re part of your digital footprint. We help you find and delete dormant accounts, scrub old posts, and tighten privacy settings on accounts you want to keep. It’s part of the full service.

What if a site refuses to remove my information?

Refusals are rare — most US data brokers comply because they have to under various state laws (California’s CCPA, Colorado’s CPA, Virginia’s CDPA, and similar). When we hit a refusal, we escalate: cite the applicable statute, contact their compliance officer, and if needed, refer the case to the relevant state attorney general’s office.

For sites based outside the US that ignore requests, we use other techniques (DMCA where applicable, search engine suppression) to limit visibility.

Is this legal?

Yes. Filing opt-out requests on your behalf is your legal right delegated to us. We’re not hacking anything or accessing data illegally — we’re exercising rights you already have under state and federal privacy laws, just at scale and on your schedule.

What does this cost and is there a free option?

The privacy scan is free. You can see what’s exposed about you online before paying anything. Paid plans start at our published rates and cover continuous removal and monitoring. There’s no long-term contract.

If you’ve never run a scan on yourself, do that first. Many people are surprised at what’s out there.

What if I want to cancel?

Cancel any time. You can do it from your account dashboard without calling anyone. When you cancel, we stop billing and stop filing new requests. Removals already completed stay completed (until brokers re-add you, which they will if you stop monitoring — that’s why monitoring matters).

See what’s out there about you

The scan is free and takes about two minutes. You’ll get a list of every broker site with a record on you — and you can decide what to do with it from there.
