Data Removal Service: Remove Your Personal Information From the Internet

If you have searched your own name lately and found your home address staring back at you, you already understand the problem. That address did not leak from one careless website. It was compiled, packaged and sold by an industry of data brokers, then republished across the people-search sites that show up when anyone types your name into Google. The information is accurate, it is public, and it is designed to be found. That is the point of it.

The good news is that you have real rights here, and they are not new. Under the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, Article 17 gives you a right to erasure: the right to have your personal data deleted. In California, the CCPA and its successor the CPRA give residents a delete right and force registered data brokers to honor opt-outs. Most brokers also publish their own opt-out route, because regulators require it. And Google runs two removal tools of its own: one for results that contain your personal contact information, and one for outdated content that no longer reflects reality. These mechanisms already exist. The hard part has never been the law. The hard part is the volume.

A single person is typically listed across dozens of sites, each with a different opt-out form, a different verification step, and a different waiting period. Some ask you to email. Some make you upload an ID. Some quietly ignore the request and hope you forget. Done by hand, it is roughly forty hours of tedious, repetitive work, and it is never finished, because the brokers re-acquire your record and put you back up a few months later. People who try the do-it-yourself route usually clear the first ten sites, lose the weekend, and give up before the important ones. There is no shame in that. The system is built to exhaust you.

This is the whole reason Deindex exists, and it is also why it is a subscription rather than a one-time purchase. Removal is not an event, it is a standing state that has to be maintained. We run a real scan across the 50 sites that matter most, we file the opt-out or the erasure request for each match under the mechanism that actually applies, and then we keep watching. When a broker relists you, our monitoring catches it on the next re-scan and files the removal again, automatically, without you having to notice or lift a finger. You are not buying a burst of activity. You are buying the maintenance.

We also do something the rest of the category avoids: we tell you the truth about what cannot be removed. A news article about you is journalism, and it stays. A court record is a public record, and it stays. Anything you have no legal right to erase is out of scope, and we will say so plainly instead of taking your money and quietly failing. Stating the limits is not a weakness in the pitch. For a doxxing target or a corporate security team deciding whether to trust a vendor with an executive's home address, it is the single most important signal that the rest of what we say is real.

And because proof matters more than a promise, every removal we file carries its named legal basis and a dated before-and-after screenshot, hashed and stored in an evidence locker you control. Competitors hand you a counter that says a number went up. We hand you the evidence you could put in front of a lawyer or a security lead. When you are ready, the free scan is the honest place to start: it shows you exactly where you stand, unblurred, with no account and no card, and you decide what happens next.
