Tips for Best Results
- β’Set a recurring reminder β data brokers frequently re-add your information from public records. Re-check every 3β6 months.
- β’Use a throwaway email β when a broker requires your email to opt out, use a secondary email so they can't link your primary address.
- β’Search name variations β check maiden names, nicknames, and previous cities. You may have multiple listings.
- β’Google yourself β after opting out, search your name to see what's still visible and which sites to target next.
