Track your data-broker opt-outs in one spreadsheet
Your personal information is sitting on dozens of people-search sites right now — each one a fresh source for spam calls, scam texts, and unwanted contact. This tracker gives you a structured path through the 22 highest-priority sites: opt-out URLs, verification requirements, realistic timelines, and a recheck calendar. Works in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or any CSV-aware editor.

How to use it
- Open in your spreadsheet app. Double-click the downloaded CSV. Google Sheets users: File → Import → Upload.
- Work top to bottom. Brokers are ordered by priority — umbrella sites first (one opt-out covers many child sites), then the highest-traffic independents.
- Update Status as you go. Mark "Submitted" when you send the request. Mark "Verified" only after you've re-searched your name and confirmed the listing is actually gone — not just when you hit Submit.
- Set Recheck on dates. The template suggests +60 days from Verified. Data brokers re-list removed records within 30–90 days as a routine part of their business, so the recheck date is when you re-search and re-submit.
- Put the recheck dates in your calendar. Copy them in manually or import the CSV's date column into a calendar app. Without a calendar reminder, the recheck won't happen.
Why the columns matter
- ID required? Some brokers — particularly the data wholesalers and insurance-adjacent sites — require substantial identity verification before they'll process a removal. Knowing this upfront lets you batch the ID-heavy ones together instead of getting surprised mid-session.
- Timeline. Helps you set realistic Recheck dates. Some brokers resolve within a day or two; others take a full month. The tracker carries those timelines so you're not guessing.
- Verified column. Submitting and verifying are different. Submitting is easy. Verifying means going back to the broker's site, searching your name, and confirming the listing is actually gone — not just pending.
What this won't track
The template covers the 22 brokers we have detailed walkthroughs for. The full data-broker ecosystem has 100+ companies. Dozens of smaller people-search sites are not pre-populated in this file. You can add rows for any broker the Delist scan finds in your specific exposure.
If keeping a tracker sounds like work
It is. The manual path is real effort — not a one-and-done, because brokers re-list removed records routinely and the recheck cycle never fully ends. Many people work through the tracker once and then hand ongoing maintenance to Delist. The manual path and the automated path aren't mutually exclusive — you can start with one and move to the other whenever the upkeep stops feeling worth it.
Or skip the spreadsheet
Delist removes your personal information from the internet — filing opt-outs across the data-broker sites we cover, then watching for re-listings and removing again. Run a free scan to see what's out there before you decide how to handle it.
