Jury duty and testimony make your name public. Your home address doesn't have to follow.
In a high-profile trial, your name can reach the defendant, their circle, and a curious public. Data brokers make it easy to turn that name into your home address, phone number, and the names of everyone you live with. Delist finds where you're exposed and files to take it down.

You don't get to stay anonymous just because you'd prefer to. In a case that draws attention, the people who care about the outcome go looking — and most of what they need is already published.
High-profile trials make jurors and witnesses searchable
Judges routinely warn jurors that their identity may become known, and caution them not to discuss the case or look it up online. In the most-watched trials, reporters, spectators, and the parties themselves work to figure out who's on the panel or who's about to testify. A first name, a job, a neighborhood detail from voir dire — paired with a data-broker profile — is often enough to land on a home address. Juror privacy protection is exactly why courts empanel "anonymous juries" when they expect jurors to be targeted.
Witnesses can be found at home
Testifying against a violent or well-connected defendant is one of the clearest reasons to keep your address private. Witness intimidation is a crime precisely because it happens. A subpoena puts your name in the record; a data broker links that name to your home, your phone, and your relatives. Witness address safety starts with the broker layer, because the court can protect what happens in the courtroom — not what's already published about you across the web.
Juror doxxing follows the news cycle
When a case goes national, searches for anyone connected to it surge — jurors, witnesses, and their families included. That's when juror doxxing tends to happen in a high-profile trial: someone posts a name, a crowd runs the searches, and a broker listing hands over the address. The exposure was sitting there the whole time. The attention is what turns a listing into a target.
Your household is listed next to you
Brokers group people by shared address and label them "associated" or "related." Your spouse, your kids, your roommate appear on your listing by name. Remove only your record and the same front door is still reachable through theirs. When the risk is someone showing up at a home, the household is the thing to protect.

Scan your exposure
We scan the web — data brokers, people-search sites, AI services, public records — for your name, phone, email, and every address you've had. You'll see which listings connect you to your home and your household.
File removals
We file opt-out and removal requests across the broker sites where you appear: home address, phone, relatives, and old addresses. Each one filed is one less way to find you at home.
Verify and escalate
We check that removals go through. Brokers that ignore the request get escalated legal deletion demands under CCPA and GDPR, and stubborn listings get repeated follow-up.
Keep watching
Brokers rebuild their profiles from fresh public records, so listings come back. We catch new appearances and re-file, so a trial in the news doesn't quietly put your address back online.
