Data Broker Remover vs MyDataRemoval

Data Broker Remover is a web service that submits data-broker opt-out and deletion requests for one U.S. adult aged 18 or older. Its annual plan costs $30 a year, paid and renewed once yearly. Requests go to covered sites about four times yearly; a site is skipped while an earlier request remains open. The free check searches eight people-search sites using a name and city, displays matching pages, and removes nothing. The paid plan currently sends requests to five of those eight sites, while three are listed for future development. A public catalog names 190 broker organizations, but request availability depends on each broker and state. The service handles matching broker replies and alerts customers when attention is needed. Receipts record submission details, not proof of deletion. Removal is not guaranteed, and data may return. Court, arrest, inmate, mugshot, voter, parcel, state-resident, custom, and extra-person requests are excluded. Account data and receipts are encrypted, with role-limited access and audit trails.

MyDataRemoval helps US residents remove personal information from people-search websites and data brokers. Human review and algorithms locate data, submit removal requests and report which sites held it and when it was removed. Covered sites are scanned each month because removed information can reappear. The covered-sites page lists 232 sites, including 23 premium sites reserved for Premium plans. Free Scan costs nothing, requires no card and shows exposed data without removing it. Standard costs $8.33 a month, billed $99.99 per year, and includes people-search and major-broker removals, monthly monitoring and up to five addresses per individual. Premium costs $499 a year and adds the 23 premium sites and priority support. The web service offers family coverage, assisted requests and periodic removal.
