You signed up to teach. Not to be looked up.
Harassment of teachers, librarians, and school staff has documented elevated rates since 2020. Your name is on the school website by necessity. Your home address is on broker sites by their business model. Only one of those is changeable.

Education work creates the visibility teachers signed up for. The privacy work is about the exposure they didn't.
Your name is necessarily public; your address shouldn't be
School websites list your name and email. Parents need that. They don't need your home address, and data brokers publish it anyway. Name, school, and home address together are what turn a parent grievance into a real-world threat.
Curriculum and policy disputes drive harassment
Book challenges, gender-policy debates, COVID-era policy fights, and similar controversies have driven a documented elevation in teacher harassment since 2020. Targets are picked off lists posted to parent forums and social media.
Family members are linked by address
Brokers correlate records by shared address. A spouse's profile typically includes your name as "associated person." Removing only your data leaves your home exposed through the household.
Exposure compounds over career
Each school, each district, each city move adds records. Long-tenured educators often have address histories going back decades on broker sites. Each address tied back to your name and current role.
The school's directory is necessary. Your home address being on a people-search site is not.

Scan the broker sites
The free scan covers the data brokers, people-search sites, and aggregators that publish your home address tied to your name.
Remove the address layer
CCPA deletion requests go out to the brokers holding your address, including records left behind by prior schools and prior cities.
Cover the household
Family plans include spouse and adult children. The household is the unit of protection.
Watch for re-listings
Brokers re-add data over time. We run a full scan every month and re-file automatically, so you don't have to remember.
