BOARD MEMBERS

Board service is a public commitment. Your home address is not.

Joining a board brings proxy statements, SEC filings, and press announcements that connect your name to the company in permanent public records. Data brokers use these signals to enrich your personal profile with home address, phone number, and family information that anyone can access.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Board appointments create exposure that most security plans miss

Corporate governance brings a specific kind of visibility. Proxy filings, annual reports, and appointment announcements create permanent public records that brokers aggregate and monetize.

Proxy statements are permanently public

DEF 14A filings include your full name, compensation details, and sometimes biographical information. These documents remain searchable indefinitely and give brokers high-confidence identity signals to build richer personal profiles.

Public company association drives search interest

When people search for a company, board member names appear in SEC filings, investor materials, and press coverage. That search interest flows through to people-search sites, where your personal contact details are readily available.

D&O insurance doesn't cover personal exposure

Directors and officers insurance protects against legal liability. It does nothing about your home address being listed on WhitePages, your phone number on Spokeo, or your family members' names appearing alongside yours on people-search sites.

Multiple boards multiply the exposure

Serving on multiple boards compounds the effect. Each additional company brings its own set of filings, announcements, and public records. The aggregate visibility across multiple governance roles creates a much larger personal data footprint than any single board seat alone.

HOW DELIST HELPS

Reduce your personal discoverability

Assess your exposure

We scan 1,000+ data broker and people-search sites for records linked to your name. You'll see which sites have your home address, phone number, and family member information, and how those records connect to your board service.

Submit removal requests

We submit opt-outs and legal deletion requests to every site where your personal information appears. Automated form submissions, CCPA/GDPR requests, and follow-up with non-compliant brokers.

Cover household members

Family plans include your spouse and other household members. Brokers link families by address, and incomplete removal leaves exploitable gaps in your protection.

Monitor for re-listing

Filing seasons, annual reports, and proxy updates feed brokers fresh data regularly. We monitor continuously and re-submit removals as your information reappears on any of the 1,000+ sites we track.

FAQ

Questions from board members

We can't modify the original SEC filings, as those are permanent government records. What we do is remove the enriched profiles on data broker sites that combine your filing data with personal contact information, home address, and family details. This breaks the easy connection between your governance role and your private life.

Multiple board seats increase your exposure because each company generates its own set of filings, announcements, and records. But the removal process covers all of your data broker profiles regardless of how many boards you serve on. One subscription covers your entire personal footprint.

Delist operates independently from any corporate security program. Your personal data removal is handled through your own account, not through the company. No coordination with corporate IT or security teams is required. Some board members mention it to their CISO as a personal measure, but it's entirely your decision.

Yes. Family plans cover your spouse and other household members. Data brokers link families by shared address, so covering the household is important for comprehensive protection. Otherwise, your personal details remain accessible through your family members' unprotected profiles.
