About

Search for your own name online and you may find a page listing your home address, phone number, age, past addresses and the names of your relatives. Pages like this are published by people-search sites and data brokers. They compile records from sources such as property and court filings, voter rolls, marketing lists and social media into a single profile, which is then sold or shown for free and often appears in search results for your name.

People want these listings removed for different reasons. Some are tired of spam calls and scam messages that use their real details. Some have left an abusive relationship or have been harassed, and do not want their address to be easy to find. Some work in jobs that attract hostility. Others simply don't think their home address should be one search away. Most sites will remove a listing on request, but there are hundreds of them, each with its own process, and removed profiles often reappear when a site refreshes its data. Doing this by hand can take many hours and has to be repeated.

We do that work for you. With your authorization, we scan more than 800 sites for listings that match you, submit removal requests on your behalf, and check whether each listing has been taken down. We continue to monitor those sites and submit new requests when a profile reappears. As listings are removed at the source, they typically drop out of Google and other search results over time. You can follow the status of each request in your account.

No service can remove a person from the internet entirely, and we don't promise that. Each site decides how and when to process a request: some act within days, others take weeks, and some may decline. We can't remove government records at their source, news articles, social media posts or accounts you created yourself. To find your listings we need some of the same information we are removing, such as your name, addresses and phone numbers. We use it to locate and remove your records, as described in our Privacy Policy.
