Six steps from “where am I listed?” to verified removal
We combine automated checks where a source permits them with clear, guided workflows everywhere else — and we're honest about which is which.
Create a privacy profile
Add the details you want us to look for: your name and any previous names, email addresses, phone numbers and the places you have lived. Every field is optional. You decide which values are used for searching, can mark old ones as outdated, and can delete anything at any time. We encrypt these details before storing them.
Search supported sources
When you start a scan we check each source the way it allows. Some have official APIs or can be searched through an authorised search provider; for those we run the check automatically. Others don't allow automated searching — for those we give you a direct link to the site's own search and a short checklist. A scan is only marked complete when every automated source was actually checked; if one fails, you'll see a partial scan and the reason.
Review matching records
For each possible listing we show the source, the kinds of information it contains and the evidence behind the match — for example, "name matches exactly" and "phone number matches". A name on its own is never treated as proof: it can only produce a low or medium confidence match, and you always decide whether a record is really you.
Submit or authorise removal
Once you confirm a record, we show the site's official removal instructions and opt-out page. Where a site accepts requests we can send for you — such as a documented privacy email address — you can authorise us to send it, and we'll say exactly what was sent. Opening an opt-out page is never counted as submitting a request.
Track progress
Every request has a timeline. Each status change records when it happened and why: submitted, waiting for your email confirmation, acknowledged by the site, rejected, and so on. When a site needs something from you, we notify you without putting personal details in the email.
Verify removal where possible
Where a source can be re-checked automatically, we look at the listing again and mark it removed only if it's no longer there. Where it can't, we ask you to check. With monitoring, we re-scan on a schedule in case listings reappear.
