Start with what worries you

Being found & doxxed

Wipe the people-search sites that publish your home address for anyone to look up.

Spam calls & junk mail

Cut off the marketing databases and list compilers behind the robocalls and mail.

Identity theft & fraud

Limit the risk and credit-adjacent brokers whose data is used to impersonate you.

Of the 549 brokers on California's official registry, 341 register a direct opt-out or deletion link — the fast ones — while 208 only take an emailed or written request. We turn each broker's registered instructions into clear steps, so you always know which kind you're dealing with.
