POLITICAL DONORS

Your donation is public record. Your home address doesn't have to be.

Federal and state disclosure laws attach your name, address, and employer to every reportable contribution, and broker sites copy that data into searchable profiles. We can't unpublish the filing. We find the listings that expose where you live now and file to take them down.

WHY THIS MATTERS

How a public donation record becomes a private-address problem

Disclosure law was built for transparency, not targeting. But once your name and address sit in a public filing, broker sites do the rest. A donation record becomes a searchable path to your home, phone, and family.

Disclosure attaches your address to your name

Federal committees must publicly itemize the name, mailing address, employer, and occupation of anyone whose contributions pass $200 in a cycle. Many states require the same disclosure at their own thresholds, some lower. It's public record, and there's no opt-out.

Searchable sites republish the filing

Campaign-finance data is published in bulk, and donor-lookup sites repost it in a format built for casual search. A single name query returns your address, employer, and giving history in seconds.

The record cross-links to your broker profile

A donation lookup hands someone your name and city. From there, people-search and data-broker sites give up your current home address, phone, household members, and every place you've lived. A campaign contribution leaves your address exposed far beyond the filing itself.

Targeting doesn't care which side you gave to

Donors across the spectrum have been contacted at home and at work over their giving. The broker sites that publish where you live don't check your politics, and neither do we. The exposure is the same for every donor, on every side.

HOW DELIST HELPS

How Delist removes your personal information from the internet

1

See what a name search really returns

The free scan takes under a minute and doesn't work from a fixed list. It covers data brokers, people-search sites, and what AI assistants surface about you. You'll see the home address, phone, family, and address history sitting beyond the public filing.

2

File removals across the broker layer

We file removals and opt-outs on the sites that republish your home address, phone number, household links, and previous addresses. The public filing stays. The broker copies come down.

3

Escalate when a broker stalls

Non-compliant brokers get legal deletion requests under CCPA and other state laws. We keep pushing past a submitted status toward a confirmed removal, and re-file when a listing reappears.

4

Watch through every cycle

Brokers rebuild profiles from fresh public-records feeds, and every cycle you give again creates new records. We run a full scan every month and re-file automatically when your information reappears, so exposure doesn't quietly rebuild after your next contribution.

FAQ

Common questions from donors

Can I remove my home address from an FEC filing?

No. Federal law requires committees to publicly itemize the name, mailing address, employer, and occupation of anyone whose contributions pass the $200 aggregate threshold in a cycle. That filing is public record, and there's no opt-out. What you can control is the broker layer: the people-search and data-broker sites that republish your address, add your phone and family, and make you easy to find from a casual name search. That's the surface we remove.

Does removing broker listings hide my political donations?

No, and it isn't meant to. Your public filing and the donor-lookup databases that pull from it stay exactly as they are. That's transparency law, and we don't touch it. What we remove is the personal information brokers publish around your name: your current home address, phone number, household members, and every place you've lived. Someone can still see that you gave. They just can't use a broker profile to find where you live now.

I gave under the $200 threshold. Am I still exposed?

Possibly. Below the federal itemization threshold, your individual contribution usually isn't listed with your address in federal filings. But many states set their own campaign-finance disclosure thresholds, and some are lower. Your home address is likely already published across broker and people-search sites, donation or not. The donation just makes your name easier to search for, so the broker-layer cleanup applies either way.

Does it matter which candidates or causes I supported?

No. Exposure works the same for a donor on any side of any race. People have been contacted at home and at work over contributions to campaigns and causes across the spectrum, and the broker sites that publish your address don't check your politics. Delist is viewpoint-neutral. We remove your personal information from the internet, whoever you support.

What if brokers re-list my information?

We catch it and re-file. Brokers rebuild profiles from fresh public-records feeds, and each new giving cycle generates new records. We run a full scan every month for re-listings and resubmit removals automatically. We'll tell you clearly if a broker needs you to verify your identity.
