Remove yourself from data brokers
Data brokers collect your name, address, phone number, relatives, and personal history, then publish it where anyone can find it. Delist finds your listings, files the removals, and re-submits when they come back.

Broker listings are the supply chain for the spam calls, scam texts, and unwanted contact that follow. The consumer-facing people-search sites are the ones you'd recognize. The wholesalers upstream do the most damage, quietly selling your data to downstream sites you've never heard of.
You can opt out yourself. Where state law applies, brokers are legally required to honor the request. But they make the process as slow and friction-heavy as they're allowed to. The aggressive ones take a week, require email verification, and re-list you within weeks anyway. Doing it once isn't enough, and there are far too many to keep up with by hand. Delist runs it for you, and keeps running it.
Where to start
Grouped by impact. Umbrella operators and wholesalers cover the most ground per removal, so tackle those before the independents.
