I had a couple of bad experiences with people finding my data online, and I was absolutely horrified at the amount of my personal information that was available online from a quick search. After researching options to delete that information, I came across DeleteMe, and I'm so thankful I did. The drastic reduction in my information available to the public was significant, and they continue to monitor for and remove information on an ongoing basis. This is a relatively inexpensive service for something extremely important to our safety in the 21st century. Highly, highly recommend.
A lot of people misunderstand what a DeleteMe Subscription does, and how diligent and professional this company is. It is nearly impossible to completely wipe your identity from data collections websites, and remove your digital footprint entirely. What DeleteMe does is something everyone can do on their own, but without the efficiency and repetition that this company provides. Continuously submitting lengthy and arduous Opt Out requests are effective, but they have to be done repeatedly. The simple truth is, your information will continue to re-populate in these databases indefinitely, and remaining active and vigilant is what this company does best. Over the past year, my DeleteMe subscription has significantly reduced my stagnant personal information from being easily found and exploited online. I have spoken personally with the professionals who confidently addressed my concerns, and have been extremely informative and communicative throughout this whole process. Needless to say, I will remain a satisfied and happy customer so long as this company continues to perform as stated. I strongly recommend their services!
I noticed a huge difference in web results, reverse phone number checks, etc where my name/background was involved, which I wanted quashed because honestly I'm sorta on the run from creditors. I'm glad they don't still have pauper's prisons, if you know what I mean. I also like that potential future coworkers can't readily get dirt on me through places like Spokeo, which I've used myself to sneak peak some concerning things with former significant others. Naturally, these folks don't own the internet so they can't remove you from everything, but they do a great job with everything they detail on their website.
I also use the parent company's product "Blur" on Android and Windows and prefer it to LastPass because of the "masking" features and it just behaves better generally, though I actually still use both depending on the interface of wherever I'm trying to get into.
Doesn't it irk you that your age, name, siblings, parents, and some address information (past and current) show up on the Internet? If you don't want this kind of information visible on the Internet hire these guys. They're reasonably priced and will remove information about you that's nobody's business but yours. There may be a couple or so sites that you need to handle but the bulk is handled by them. When you receive your reports, just quickly do a scan on the Internet to see that you're actually removed. If there are a couple of ones that still pop up see if it's on their list of Can't Remove - Here's Why and usually it's a quick opt-out procedure. But doing that for 20 or so People Finder-ish sites is cumbersome. That's my two cents. Eventually, we'll elect more people to our government that understand the Internet, instead of entitled old white guys, and these future well-informed public servants will actually set some healthy legal boundaries so that our data is protected. Until then we need to use helpful third-party companies.
I had several other websites I wanted to be removed from. They responded quickly and daily if I had made a request! I woudl recommend this site to others!

All I can say is I'm a fan of Delete me! I signed up several months ago and found my online records soon disappeared from the web just as I hoped. The only site that persisted to list my personal information was My Life. I emailed Delete Me and they went the extra step to remove the My Life information as well. Bottom line_ they do a great job!

Winthin weeks most information was removed from the internet. For those other sites they couldnt directly help with they provided guidance on how we could remove the info. They even helped with one offs alone the way that surfaced. Very responsive and happy to help!
I was alarmed when I found my personal information scattered all over the internet. I didn't know how to remove it all. I began to search and found the company DeleteMe. They offered a reasonable rate and within days I began to see my personal information removed the internet.
When I contacted customer service, they interacted me that day or the next day regarding my questions and other concerns.
I can't say enough about how well the product works and have quick and well my interactions with their customer service department went.
I highly recommend their product DeleteMe with their superior customer service support to everybody who is considered about their personal information being found on the internet.
A Google search of my name came up with hundreds of links to offensive sites. The various domain owners were listed from New Jersey to Latvia. Google stipulates that for them to remove the links, you must first contact the spammers PERSONALLY and request the deletion! Can you imagine doing that?!? The "deletion-specialist" at Abine, who also happened to be an attorney, was absolutely great! She actually contacted these people, and before long, the links revealed "Error 404" messages, opening the door for Google's monthly "crawl" of the web to eliminate them.
We're talking hundreds of offensive links! My name was Mud and now it isn't, Thanks to Abine. Hearing the recommendation of this company by Wall Street Journal reporter, Julia Angwin, on the NPR show, "Fresh Air" was a pivotal moment in time. Thanks Abine!
Found this site after a friend told me that they deleted her name and address from spokeo for free, which was cool. I had a live chat with someone from deleteme, their site that deletes accounts and pages and things, to see if they'd be able to remove my name from mylife.com. I have no idea how they had my info, but it's one of the top google results for my name. They were able to do it no problem. It's a good concept for a service and I can see a lot of people needing to use it in the future.
My gf used deleteme, owned by Abine, to get rid of an untrue review of her shop that her competitors put up and she was really happy with their service. I have more experience with the software end of Abine because i've been using chromeblock since it came out. I like that it's hands off unless i want to see which trackers i'm blocking, but it lets me do that, too. All in all, great customer service and cool software.
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.
