We do the work. You stay mostly hands-off.
Removing your personal information from the internet is automatic by default. Delist finds where you're exposed, files the removals, chases the brokers that stall, and re-files when your data comes back — without you. You're looped in for one reason only: when a broker won't act until you prove who you are or sign the request yourself. Everything else runs on its own.
Start your free scan →Automatic is the whole point
Do this yourself and it's real work: hundreds of data brokers, each with its own opt-out form, its own hoops, its own timeline — and the job never closes, because what you clear comes back within weeks. That's 20+ hours you keep spending, forever.
Delist exists to take that off your plate. Once you're set up, the finding, filing, chasing, and re-filing all happen in the background. You're not managing a queue or remembering to check. The service carries the work — you carry a login and the occasional flag.
What runs on its own
We find the listings
We scan the web for your exposed personal information — your name and location is all we need. No forms for you to fill, no sites to hunt down. The full report lands before any payment is asked.
We file the removals
We send a removal request to each site that lists you, using whatever method that broker requires — a form, an official deletion email, a letter. You don't touch any of it.
We chase the ones that stall
When a broker ignores the first request or quietly puts you back, we escalate and keep pushing. Following up is our job, not yours.
We verify and keep watching
We check back to confirm your data is actually gone, then keep watching for re-listings and re-file when they happen. The loop stays closed while you get on with your life.
When we do loop you in — and when we don't
Prove it's really you
Some brokers won't remove a record until the person asking proves their identity — a safeguard against someone opting out a stranger. When a site requires it, we hand you a quick verification step. We never pretend to be you without your say-so.
Sign the request
A few brokers only act on a request that carries your own signature or a signed authorization. We prepare it and tell you exactly where to sign — the one part the law reserves for you.
A step only you hold
Now and then a broker gates removal behind something only you have — a code sent to your phone or email, or an account action tied to you. When that's the wall, we point you straight to it.
Match an address on the record
A handful of brokers ask for proof of an address to line up with the listing before they'll pull it. We tell you what's needed; you confirm it once and we carry the rest.
Everything else stays silent
Those are the exceptions, not the rule. When a broker leaves us a route we can walk on our own — and most do — we take it and say nothing. No approvals to click, no queue to babysit. A case only reaches you when it truly can't move without you.
You can see all of it anyway
Hands-off doesn't mean in the dark. Your dashboard shows the full activity log — every removal filed, every confirmation, every re-listing caught. Watch it as closely as you like, or let it run. Either way, your data stays yours: delete it anytime, never sold, never shared.
Common questions
Is data broker removal automatic?
By default, yes. Delist finds where you're exposed, files the removals, chases the brokers that stall, verifies what comes down, and re-files when your data reappears — on its own. The one exception is a broker that won't act until you prove your identity or sign the request yourself. Those cases are flagged; everything else runs without you.
Do I have to do anything myself?
Mostly no. After the free scan and a short setup, the day-to-day is ours. A few brokers won't remove a record until you take a step only you can take — verify who you are, sign a removal request, or finish an account action. Those cases surface as needing you, in plain words. Otherwise you do nothing.
How much work is data removal once I subscribe?
Little to none, day to day. Set it once and the removals run on autopilot — filed, chased, verified, and re-filed as your data comes back. You'll get the occasional needs-you flag when a broker leaves us no other route. That's the extent of it.
Why would a removal service need to verify my identity?
Some brokers won't remove a record unless the person asking proves they are who they say — a safeguard against someone opting out a stranger. When a site requires it, we hand you a quick verification step. We never pretend to be you without your say-so.
Can I just hand the whole thing off?
Largely, yes. The removals run on their own once you're set up. When something genuinely needs you, we tell you plainly — in your dashboard and by email — with the reason spelled out, so you're never digging to find out what's owed. And your data stays yours: you can delete it anytime, and it's never sold or shared.
Hand off the hard part.
