The best way to protect yourself from online scammers and hackers is to remain vigilant. But even if you apply best practices in password management and web browsing, there’s no way to stop the wealth of personal information that data brokers can accumulate about you over time. From the ads you see to the websites you visit and the devices you browse with, people search sites can generate detailed profiles about you and your family that only make the job of advertisers, scammers, and hackers easier.
It’s your data, so you can demand it be deleted, but doing it manually with hundreds of data brokers around the world can be frustrating and time-consuming. RemoveMe is an affordable service designed specifically to remove data and the usual headaches of chasing it.
What does RemoveMe do?
RemoveMe offers fast and efficient removal of your personal data from over 400 different websites without the need to contact anyone. It automatically finds any mention of your personal information and issues a deletion request on your behalf, jumping through all the hoops automatically so you don’t have to.
Each removal is verified and confirmed and, where possible, RemoveMe issues opt-out requests to those same services so that they do not extract or add your information again in the future. To ensure that they also comply, you maintain continuous monitoring. If the data reappears on the brokers’ sites, RemoveMe automatically deletes it again.
Do you prefer to be in the know? The RemoveMe dashboard allows you to track each removal in real time and will send you a notification whenever new information is detected and removed.
Why data deletion is important
It’s easy to think that since everyone online is registered as much as you are, removing your personal data from people search sites won’t do much good. But that data can be used by almost anyone. Often it is not for good reasons.
- Spam callers and scammers use data broker files to target people with highly specialized scams. The more personal information they have about you, the more convincing they can appear.
- Doxxing is a major concern on the web and social media, as home addresses, workplaces, and school information make it easier to harass you in person or target you and your family with sophisticated social engineering attacks.
- Identity theft and account breaches are much easier if a hacker has your personal data. Data brokers can provide the type of identifying information that attackers can use to steal accounts and impersonate you online and over the phone.
Using RemoveMe makes the job of all criminals more difficult and offers continuous automated protection for you and your family’s personal privacy.
