Due to past job and work, many people become upset when they lose
Cases. I seldom lose any cases in litigation but people will post false data! Do the math!
Worth every penny!
Friend of ours got doxxed, and spouse started to frantically scrub all of their information from the internet, noting to me later that I was essentially a digital ghost and they couldn't find me anywhere—thanks to DeleteMe. Highly recommend their services.
Sharing personal information to a service provider who needs it to perform their duty isn't easy. Deleteme has impressed me with their professionalism and efficiency.
Results was fast and actually with all the deleted information for that month and to see other site that they found on the web that you can delete also
In 2021 I engaged three companies to delete data on me, and this one, Delete Me, is the only one that took my specific requests seriously and worked the issues to get me delisted. They rely on automation but are the only ones adding the human touch.
This business is full of excuses as to why they can't get things done, if you get an answer from them at all. It's easier and less frustrating and free just to fill out opt out forms. Total waste of money.
I have been a loyal customer for a year and was even working on getting my place of employment to buy it for all our employees as a benefit (1000% don't recommend now and we'll be going with an actual reputable competitor). My subscription renewal was coming up due 1/16. I received an email on 1/12 stating that I needed to add a new card to my file. Thought this was weird as nothing about my old card had changed and it was days before my subscription was due to renew. Well, I trusted them in the past so I just input in a new card and it charged that new card immediately. I wasn't too happy about that either as again days before my payments well due but whatever. I then got my other card statement (originally card they had) and they HAD charged that card. Contacted support and wow are Mallory and David (manager) absolutely unhelpful jerks. They keep trying to say that it's a pending charge and it'll fall off. It's not pending charge, it was charged. Then they kept telling me that my originally card was declined due to zip code error. It was not and now I paid double for the same service and David and Mallory refuse to do anything about it. And they have attitude which is just the absolute cherry on top.
Reporting this scamming company to the BBB, FTC, and my credit card company. My suggestion to all of you is run away fast!
I'm glad 'DeleteMe' continues to work on my privacy 24/7 even while I am away at work or sleeping. They are worth it and are getting the job done and saving me a lot of time.
After months of this subscription, you can still find my address, phone, all my relatives, and links to my socials just by googling my name. Totally useless. But you get these nifty reports that are like "good news! We've scrubbed you from some site no one has ever used or heard of!"
Seriously, it's useless. Don't waste your money.
First, let me say that you're not alone in your frustration. People are finding their info spread across the internet more and more these days, which is why they're turning to services like ours to help them remove it. However, we try to be very clear up front that our service focuses on data brokers and people search sites and is not a 1-stop-solution to all online privacy issues. For example on our "how we work" page we provide a specific list of sites we remove from. We are constantly working to add more, but it's not easy -- many of these sites are malicious in intent -- they change their policies frequently and do every thing they can to avoid removals.
We see ourselves as an essential part of any privacy solution -- we handle the biggest data brokers and work to keep your information from reappearing as it almost always does unless the source information is found and removed. And we pride ourselves on being a privacy "partner" with our customers, to help them through the removals of sites, whether we support them or not.
We tried to contact you on 1/9/2023 to gain a bit more insight into your complaint, unfortunately we have received no response as of this time.
Excellent! At first i was hesitant. Then the results started coming in.
I watched my name get deleted from the internet!
The removal process of my personal information took place very fast. I'm am very pleased.
Thank you DeleteMe for the great job you're really doing keeping us deleted off the internet. We like our privacy and feel much safer and secure knowing that it is harder for anyone to search our personal information through internet.
They do what they say and go above and beyond. You get updated and made aware of issues...no hidden details, I love their work.
Who knew that joining Delete Me would provide exactly what I was looking for! Worth every penny! I had a specific purpose for the service, but it delivered more than I expected in every good way. The customer service individuals are amazing... and they are real humans!
Probably the best available method. Fast efficient thorough. A must for security conscious people. Absolutely necessary if one has a security clearance.
These guys are really on top of this. And keep. You up to date. Highly recommend them.

Hello,
Thank you for being a DeleteMe member and trusting us with you privacy and we are sorry that you were unhappy with the experience surrounding your annual renewal.
We would like to take this opportunity to address your comments on the renewal process and to educate our customers on how pending transactions work on credit cards.
A pending transaction is a recent card transaction that has not yet been fully processed by the merchant. If the merchant doesn't take the funds from your account, in most cases, it will drop back into the account after 7 days.
In your case, the billing on the first charge was not fully processed due to a billing address mismatch error on your card. You demanded a refund for funds that were not actually received by Deleteme on this card and when you were informed of that, rather than contacting your bank to verify this, you made the false assumption that we were holding funds that did not exist. The actual charge that did process on your new card that was put on file was refunded immediately upon your request and your account was terminated at that time.
DeleteMe prides itself on our excellent Customer Service and we are sorry to see you leave us over a credit card issue.
