How to remove your information from data broker sites

If you are trying to remove your personal information from data broker sites, this process gives you a practical order of operations that improves your odds of reducing spam calls, junk mail, and unwanted email.

Step 1: Find where your data appears

• Run the exposure scanner with name and current location.
• Save likely matches only when age/location/relative details line up.

Step 2: Submit first-wave opt-outs

• Start with Whitepages, BeenVerified, PeopleConnect, and Acxiom.
• Use the direct links in the data broker opt-out guide.

Step 3: Track and rescan

• Keep confirmation emails and timestamps for each request.
• Rescan every 30-60 days because broker listings can return after refreshes.
