Cloaked vs VALT Data Broker Removal

Cloaked has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

VALT Data Broker Removal scans more than 1,000 broker databases and sends deletion requests for individual users. VALT says it files requests under CCPA, GDPR, and state privacy laws, then monitors for relistings and submits requests again when information reappears. Examples of brokers include Spokeo, Whitepages, Intelius, and BeenVerified. Removal times vary by broker, so the service describes its approach as ongoing exposure reduction rather than a one-time result. The exposure scan is free, requires no account or card, and does not ask for an SSN or government ID. VALT says its zero-knowledge design prevents the company and employees from seeing, accessing, or reconstructing raw personal data. Its privacy policy also describes encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security audits. The free plan includes dVPN protection, ad-supported secure browsing, connected apps, data widgets, and a seven-day activity lookback. Paid data erasure starts at $119.99/yr; the VALTIMATE plan is $239.99 per year and adds a dedicated removal specialist and custom removal requests.
