I Googled myself and found my home address on 15 websites I'd never heard of. Spent 3 hours submitting removal requests to each one. Then I got frustrated and built a tool to automate it.
Now I use PrivacyCat to keep my information off these sites. My spam calls dropped from 8 per day to 1-2 per week. Your results may vary, but if people search sites are part of your problem, this can help.
Your information on these sites can affect you in ways you might not realize
Telemarketers and scammers buy phone lists from these sites. Removing your number can significantly reduce unwanted calls.
Keep your home address private from strangers, exes, or anyone you don't want knowing where you live.
When employers, dates, or landlords Google you, they won't find your address, age, and family info on the first page.
Old addresses, outdated info, and unrelated records showing up can complicate job applications and apartment rentals.
Probably not. Spam calls come from many sources—data breaches, companies you've signed up with, random dialers. We can only fix one piece: people search sites selling your number. I went from 8 spam calls per day to 1-2 per week, but your results will depend on where your number leaked from.

Honest answers to common questions about PrivacyCat
PrivacyCat uses advanced web scraping technology to search through 25+ people search sites across the web. We search using the personal information you provide (name, location, age) to find exact matches of your data. Our system mimics manual searches but does it automatically and continuously. Takes about 8 minutes for the initial scan.
We can't automatically scan premium background check sites like BeenVerified because they paywall their data. However, Premium users get unlimited custom removal requests—if you find your data on BeenVerified, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, or any other site we don't scan, submit up to 10 URLs per request and we'll handle the opt-out process for you. This feature is especially useful if you have expunged records or sensitive information on these premium sites.
Probably not all of them. Spam calls come from many sources—data breaches, companies you've signed up with, random dialers. We can only fix one piece: people search sites selling your number to telemarketers. After using PrivacyCat, my spam calls dropped from 8 per day to 1-2 per week. Your results will depend on where your number originally leaked from.
The initial scan takes just 8 minutes. Once we submit removal requests, most data brokers process them within 7-45 days, though some can take up to 90 days. We handle all the follow-ups and verification steps for you. You'll see sites being removed from your dashboard as they complete the opt-out process, and we'll keep monitoring to ensure your data doesn't reappear.
Absolutely. We use bank-level 256-bit AES encryption to protect all your personal information. Your data is only used to search for and remove your information from data broker sites - we never sell or share it with third parties. We're also fully GDPR and CCPA compliant, and you can delete your account and all associated data at any time.
It can help with some situations. We remove your data from people search sites, which can show up in basic background checks and Google searches. This includes old addresses, outdated info, and public records. For comprehensive background check sites like BeenVerified or TruthFinder that we don't automatically scan, Premium users can use our custom removal feature to submit those specific URLs for removal. This is particularly useful if you have expunged records that shouldn't be showing up.
That's what our 30-day money-back guarantee is for. If you're not seeing value, just email us for a full refund, no questions asked.
You'll get screenshots showing your listing before removal, and we track each site's status in your dashboard. You can see exactly what was there and when it was removed. You can also Google yourself to verify.
It can. Data brokers sometimes re-scrape public records or get updated information. That's why Premium includes continuous monitoring—we keep checking and automatically resubmit removal requests if your data reappears.
