Privacy Protection
Made Simple

Data brokers are companies that collect, analyze, and sell your personal information to third parties. They gather data from public records, online activities, purchases, and social media to create detailed profiles that they sell to advertisers, employers, insurers, and even scammers. Major data brokers can have information on millions of people, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, family members, income estimates, and much more.

Your personal information can end up online through various sources: public records (voter registrations, property records, court documents), social media profiles, online purchases, loyalty programs, surveys and contests, app permissions, and website registrations. Data brokers aggregate this information from multiple sources to build comprehensive profiles that they then sell or display on people-search websites.

PrivacyCat uses advanced scanning technology to search hundreds of data broker websites using the information you provide. When we find matches, we verify the data belongs to you and then submit opt-out requests following each site's specific requirements. We handle all the paperwork, verification emails, and follow-ups needed. Our system tracks the status of each request and continuously monitors for new exposures, resubmitting requests as necessary.

The removal timeline varies by data broker. Some sites process opt-out requests within 48 hours, while others can take up to 45 days. Most removals are completed within 7-14 days. PrivacyCat tracks each request and provides updates on the status. We also handle any follow-ups needed to ensure your information is actually removed, not just suppressed temporarily.

Data brokers continuously collect and update information. Even after removal, your data can reappear through new sources or database updates. Some sites only suppress information temporarily and require periodic renewal of opt-out requests. New data broker sites also emerge regularly. PrivacyCat's continuous monitoring ensures your information stays removed and catches new exposures quickly.

Absolutely. We use bank-level encryption to protect your data and never sell or share your information. We only collect the minimum information needed to perform removals on your behalf. Your data is stored securely and is only used to scan for exposures and submit opt-out requests. We're also a US-based company subject to strict privacy laws, and our entire business model depends on protecting privacy, not exploiting it.
