I'm getting less ads and phone calls from telemarketing and fewer scam emails. I'm still getting political requests for money. Hopefully those will decrease over time.
I received a second email indicating that my information was detected on 31 websites and requests were previously sent. This information was on the first report. So what does this mean? Has my information actually been deleted (I know it takes time, but do you check up on progress)? Is this second email a repeat from the first effort or has something new been done? Transparency on the process is lacking.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback, Stephanie. We understand how important clarity is and appreciate the opportunity to explain that the second email means ongoing progress—some new removal requests have indeed been sent since the first report, all carefully traced to confirm deletions over time.
This is the express purpose for scrubbing these brokers every 3 months as part of our service - to ensure the information we have submitted for removal has, in fact, been removed, and to find and remove any new listings that may have been generated since the previous round of removals.
Your questions are valuable in helping us improve transparency, and we’re always here to provide updates as the effort continues.
As a senior professional whom is concerned over internet scams and fraudulent website attacks, I appreciate the work being accomplished since I joined your organization.
Stephen, thank you for sharing your thoughts and for being part of the team. We are committed to maintaining a secure environment and truly appreciate your trust and support as we work together to tackle today's challenges.

Not sure. Too soon. Been recovering from a. Compromised. Been trying to make sure I had my information protected. Especially on Facebook. My only way to keep up with my family and friends even though I thought I was doing okay. I found too many fine line print and legal mambo jumbo. I didn't feel safe any more. I only had one small credit card listed for subscriptions. And had to continually delete my main credit card, never debit, over the years even if I only used it once. It was difficult for me to make that choice. Also you tube which seems safer. All the others stuff I could probably not do myself without delete me. PS Would not let me use a hyphen in my first name.
Barbara Jean, thank you for sharing your honest experience. Navigating privacy choices can be complicated and it means a lot that you’re taking these important steps—please know we're here to support you whenever you need guidance. Your safety and trust are truly our top priorities.
I compromised my identify a couple of months ago. I am working with another company to track any and all financial goings on. More serious than it sounds.
DeleteMe has gotten to websites I would not even attempt to contact.
I am grateful and feeling more confident that someone is watching out for my situation.
Thank you
Ellen

At first I was not sure but decided to give it a try bc "pilot debrief", who is a serious site and professional. As of today, I am very happy and definitely above my expectations. Please try it.

Answer: Hi There, Thanks for your great question! As our privacy policy states [https://joindeleteme.com/legal/], we won't track, store, or sell your personal information to anyone, under any circumstance. Simply put, your privacy is our business. Getting it right is how our company succeeds. Without a reputation for trustworthiness, we couldn't stay in business for long. We've been in business since 2011, and we've processed over 10 Million consumer opt-outs. That said, your information is likely to reappear over time. Many activities that we engage in generate data that can then be republished. Some examples of the activities include: Registering to vote Purchasing real estate/vehicles Signing up for Utilities [Phone/cable/gas] And many more (you can find the full list at https://joindeleteme.com/help/kb/how-does-my-personal-info-get-online/)
Answer: Hi There, Unfortunately no. Social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, other accounts that you have created are not public information and are user created. This means that the creator has agreed to the terms of these sites in creating this data and therefore as a third party, we cannot remove that data.
Answer: Unfortunately, that type of content is not something that the DeleteMe service can remove from the web. DeleteMe removes personal contact information from people search sites only. You will need to contact the site in question directly for removal, they may request proof of expungement to remove the case listing.
Answer: Hi Brian, Thank you for inquiring about our DeleteMe service. Essentially, our service is set to remove personal information - names, age, addresses, DOB, phone numbers etc. from a large list of people search and data broker websites. These sites pull information from public record sources - renewing a license, buying property, getting married / divorced, etc. Since this information is taken from public records in the US, we are able to opt out of it from these specific sites https://joindeleteme.com/sites-we-remove-from/. Sites like this are not public information and are often user created. This means that the creator has agreed to the terms of these sites in creating this data and therefore as a third party, we cannot remove that data.
