Mobilewalla collects and sells consumer data in bulk. You cannot look yourself up, but advertisers, insurers, and data resellers can buy profiles that include you.
What is Mobilewalla?
Consumer-data and location-data broker that collected MAIDs and precise geolocation, much from real-time bidding (RTB) ad exchanges, building audience segments sold in bulk. The FTC found it amassed 500M+ unique advertising IDs matched to location. Unlike consumer people-search sites, Mobilewalla does not offer a public profile lookup, but it still holds and sells your personal data.
What data Mobilewalla has on you
Mobilewalla collects consumer data in bulk for advertisers and data resellers. You cannot look yourself up, but here is what they typically hold:
- location/geolocation data (precise)
- mobile advertising IDs (MAIDs)
- device identifiers
- RTB-derived data
- inferred sensitive characteristics
- audience segments (including home location)
Not every profile contains all categories. Depth depends on what public records exist in your jurisdiction and how much commercial data has been linked to your identity. For most adults with any public record history, Mobilewalla has enough to paint a detailed picture.

The catch: your data comes back
The most important thing to understand about Mobilewalla removal: it is temporary.
Collected largely from RTB ad auctions without a direct consumer relationship, so device-level opt-out and app-permission limits are the only reliable controls. Data already sold persists. Under the FTC order, Mobilewalla can no longer keep consumer data captured from ad auctions for non-auction purposes and must delete/limit sensitive location data.
Data can return after an opt-out if the broker later ingests a new record. Whether and when that happens varies by company and source. Periodic checks can catch re-listings; a monitoring service can re-file when supported.
This is the part Delist handles. Mobilewalla is one of dozens of sites holding your information, and removals do not stay removed on their own. Delist finds where you are exposed, files each opt-out, and re-checks for re-listings — re-filing when your data comes back.

- Other brokers are not affected. Removing yourself from Mobilewalla does nothing to Whitepages, BeenVerified, Radaris, or the dozens of other sites where your data is exposed. Each requires its own opt-out.
- Cached copies may persist. Google and other search engines may cache your Mobilewalla profile for days or weeks after it is removed. Use Google's content removal tool to request de-indexing.
- Multiple profiles may exist. If you have lived in multiple states, changed your name, or have multiple phone numbers, Mobilewalla may have built separate profiles for each variation. Search and opt out of each.
Tips for a successful opt-out
Use a dedicated email. Use an alias or a separate account for removal requests. Keeps your primary inbox out of Mobilewalla's system and keeps confirmation emails organized.
Search every angle. Do not just search by name. Try phone number and email too. You may have more than one listing.
Document the request. Screenshot the confirmation page and save the confirmation email. Useful if you ever need to prove you requested removal.
