Every funding announcement, press feature, and public filing puts your home address, phone number, and family details online. Your exposed data is the supply chain for the spam, scams, and harassment that follow visibility. We're removing it, and we keep it off.
Run a free scan →Your company's public profile and your personal exposure grow in parallel. Here is exactly what happens to your data when you become a visible founder.
SEC filings, public company directories, press releases, and investor announcements can feed aggregators. A funding announcement may create new public signals, but whether and when they change a broker profile varies.
A press feature or funding announcement makes your name more searchable, and broker listings serve up your spouse's name, your children's ages, and your home address in the same record. Their exposure is a direct side effect of your raise.
Most founders don't act until something happens: a strange email, someone referencing their home address, a family member flagging an unsettling message. By then the exposure has been accumulating for months. Starting before you need to is the point.
Coverage, conference appearances, and professional activity generate more data broker records. Each new mention is another source for brokers to aggregate, and we remove those records as they appear.
Background reading: How data brokers get your information
A free scan takes under a minute and shows exactly which places have your personal information.
Run a free scan →We scan data brokers, people-search sites, AI services, and public records for your name, phone, email, and address. You see exactly which sites have your information before we start removing it.
We handle opt-out submissions across every site where you appear: automated forms, CCPA and state legal deletion requests, and group resolution for sites that share operators.
Each removal is verified after processing. If a broker hasn't complied, we escalate. If they re-list your data, we re-submit. You don't have to track any of it. We do.
Exposure doesn't end after one cleanup. As your company grows and your profile changes, new records appear. We run a full scan every month and remove what we find, and loop you in only when a site needs you.

Starting before a public announcement can establish a baseline and address existing listings. Filings, press releases, and company directories can create new source records, but ingestion timing varies. Re-scan after the announcement and remove supported listings that appear.
No. We target people-search sites that publish your home address, phone, and family details. Your company's web presence, press coverage, and professional profiles stay untouched. LinkedIn and media mentions are left alone.
Yes. You can add paid coverage for your spouse and other household members under one subscription. Brokers link records by address, so removing only yours while your spouse's stays live still exposes your home and contact details.
Corporate security covers endpoints, access controls, and SOC2. None of that touches your home address on people-search sites or your phone number on data broker directories. Delist handles the personal surface area corporate security leaves exposed.
We catch it and re-submit. Many brokers re-list as new data sources feed them. Our monthly full scan checks for that and handles re-listings for you. We loop you in only when a broker needs you to verify.
