It significantly reduces them. Most robocall lists are built from data broker records. When we remove your phone number from those sources, the leaks dry up over time. You won’t see a change overnight — calls already initiated will continue — but most customers see a noticeable drop within 60-90 days.

It will not stop calls from companies you have an existing relationship with, or from carriers/numbers obtained via other channels.

Same logic. Junk mail lists are sourced from marketing data brokers. Removing yourself from those brokers reduces new mail over the following months as old lists expire. We also help you opt out of the major direct-mail registries (DMAchoice, Catalog Choice) in the process.

A VPN hides your IP address while you’re browsing. It does not affect any record about you already published on a broker site. Someone searching your name on Spokeo will get the same results whether you use a VPN or not.

Privacy protection removes those records. Different problem, different solution. They work well together but they are not substitutes.

The bureaus themselves are not removable — they’re required to maintain credit files on you under federal law. But their marketing affiliates (Experian Marketing Services, for example) and “credit header” data resellers are different entities, and we can remove you from those.

You can also freeze your credit directly with each bureau for free. We recommend doing that in addition to our service.

Yes. Legitimate background check companies (HireRight, Sterling, Checkr) pull from primary sources — court systems, state DMV records, employer-verified data. Those are not the same as the consumer people-search sites we remove from. Pre-employment screening continues to work normally.

Family plans cover each person individually. Removing one family member doesn’t automatically remove the others, because brokers maintain separate records per person. We offer multi-person plans at reduced per-person rates.

No. Just update your profile with the new address and we add it to the ongoing scan. Your old address stays on the removal list too — brokers love re-listing old addresses, so we keep watching for those.

Court records themselves are public and we can’t change the underlying record. But aggregator sites that re-publish court data are different — we can remove your information from those, which means it stops appearing in Google search results even though the original record still exists at the courthouse.

For sealed records, expunged records, or records that are being incorrectly attributed to you, we help you push for direct removal at the source.

No. Data broker removal does not affect your credit report or score. Lenders, landlords, and underwriters pull from the credit bureaus, which we don’t touch. We only remove from third-party brokers that resell aggregated consumer data — entirely separate from the credit reporting system.

The first removals show up within 24-72 hours on sites with automated opt-outs. Most removals complete inside 4-6 weeks. Sites that require notarized or mailed forms take 8-10 weeks. You can track each one in your dashboard.

Visible drops in spam calls, junk mail, and Google search results typically appear in the 60-90 day range as old data ages out.

Your already-completed removals stay completed for a while — but brokers will re-add you over the following months as new data comes in. Without ongoing monitoring, you typically drift back to your original exposure level inside a year.

This is why the service is continuous rather than one-time. The work isn’t just removal; it’s keeping you removed.
