Track your data-broker opt-outs in one spreadsheet
Your information is spread across dozens of people-search sites, and each listing feeds spam calls, scam texts, and unwanted contact. This tracker gives you a clear path through the 22 highest-priority sites: opt-out URLs, ID requirements, realistic timelines, and a recheck calendar. Works in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or any CSV editor.

How to use it
- Open in your spreadsheet app. Double-click the downloaded CSV. In Google Sheets: File → Import → Upload.
- Work top to bottom. Brokers are ordered by priority: umbrella sites first (one opt-out covers several child sites), then the highest-traffic independents.
- Update Status as you go. Mark "Submitted" when you send the request. Mark "Verified" only after you re-search your name and confirm the listing is actually gone, not just when you hit Submit.
- Set Recheck on dates. The template suggests 60 days after Verified. Brokers routinely re-list removed records within 30–90 days, so the recheck date is when you re-search and re-submit.
- Put the recheck dates in your calendar. Copy them in by hand, or import the date column into a calendar app. Without a reminder, the recheck won't happen.
Why the columns matter
- ID required? Some brokers, particularly data wholesalers and insurance-adjacent sites, ask for 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. This helps you set realistic recheck dates. Some brokers resolve in 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 returning to the broker's site, searching your name, and confirming the listing is gone, not just pending.
What this won't track
The template covers the 22 brokers we have detailed walkthroughs for. The wider data-broker world is far larger, with many smaller people-search sites that aren't pre-filled here. Add rows for any broker the Delist scan finds in your own exposure.
If keeping a tracker sounds like work
It is. The manual path is real effort, and not a one-and-done: brokers re-list removed records routinely, so the recheck cycle never fully ends. Many people work through the tracker once, then hand the ongoing upkeep to Delist. The two paths aren't mutually exclusive — start with one and switch whenever the maintenance stops feeling worth it.
Or skip the spreadsheet
Delist removes your personal information from the internet: we file opt-outs across the data-broker sites we cover, then watch for re-listings and file again. Run a free scan to see what's out there before you decide how to handle it.
