delist.ai

We take your personal information off the internet.

We believe privacy is a right, not a privilege. Your name, address, and family shouldn't be searchable by anyone who asks — yet they are, fueling the scams, stalking, and fraud that follow. Delist finds where you're exposed, removes it, and keeps watching so it stays down.

Our mission

Put privacy back in your hands

Your exposed information is the supply chain for every scam, every stalker, every account takeover. Data brokers, AI services, and aggregators profit from keeping it flowing. We cut it off.

Find every listing

Data brokers, people-search sites, AI services, and public records all hold your name, phone, email, and address. We scan across them and show you exactly where you turn up.

Remove it automatically

We remove you across data brokers, AI services, and public records — automated broker forms, official deletion requests, AI service data requests, family-group resolution. You're mostly hands-off; we only loop you in when a broker needs you to verify.

Keep watching

Brokers re-list people constantly, and AI services re-train on fresh data. We rescan weekly, re-check after 30 days, and re-file when you reappear on a site we cover.

What we believe

Privacy is a right, not a feature.

Selling personal data without consent is wrong

Data brokers scrape, aggregate, and sell your most sensitive information to anyone willing to pay. AI services ingest the same upstream feeds and surface it to anyone who asks. The result is the same — strangers with your home address, daily routine, and family details. There is no ethical version of selling someone's home address to anyone.

Exposed personal information is a safety risk

When your data is publicly available, you're exposed — physically and digitally. The wrong person with your home address, daily routine, or family details is a real threat. People deserve to be safe, and that starts with controlling who has access to their information.

Protection shouldn't depend on who you are

Done by hand, removal is hundreds of hours of forms, IDs, and follow-ups — a full-time job most people can't take on. We built Delist to do it automatically, so staying private doesn't come down to how much time, savvy, or leverage you happen to have.

We hold ourselves to the same standard

We're asking you to trust us with the very data you're trying to protect. So we keep it safe, never sell it, never share it, and never run ads against it. And it's yours to delete, completely, the moment you want it gone. We earn that trust every day.

Our story

Built from personal experience

Why I built this

In 2017, a group of hackers compiled personal information about me from sources all over the web: data brokers, people-search pages, public records, social media, archived bios. They used it to social engineer their way into my accounts, one by one. By the time I realized what was happening, the damage was done: it cost me money, months of stress, and a sense of violation I still carry.

It was the worst experience of my life. And the hardest part was learning that the information they used to do it was freely available to anyone willing to search for it.

After that, I became obsessed with one question: why is it so easy for strangers to find everything about you, and so hard to make it stop?

The opt-out process is deliberately painful. Every broker has a different form, a different process, a different timeline. Some require you to submit a photo ID. Some make you wait 45 days. Some re-list you a month later. It's designed to exhaust you into giving up.

I built Delist.ai so nobody else has to go through what I did. Our software scans the web — data brokers, AI services, public records — and files removal requests through every available channel. The brokers that hold your data won't stop collecting it, but we won't stop removing it.

"It's possible for someone to have their entire life, physical or digital, compromised because of data that's sitting on broker sites and inside AI services. I want to protect others from what happened to me."

Background

I've spent 15+ years building systems across healthcare, finance, and other industries where security isn't optional. That work gave me a deep understanding of how data flows, where it leaks, and what it takes to lock it down. When I turned that lens on the data broker industry, I knew I could build something better.
