Your campus is public. Your home doesn't have to be.
University presidents, provosts, and deans deal with student activism, faculty disputes, donor relations, and media coverage. All of it generates search interest, and brokers turn that interest into a profile with your home address, phone, and family.
Reduce your personal exposure →Higher education leadership is a uniquely exposed position
You're a public employee, a community figure, a policy maker, and sometimes a lightning rod, all at once. Data brokers make the personal side of that role searchable.
Public salary and contract details increase targeting
At public universities, your compensation is public record, and news outlets cover presidential pay routinely. Combined with broker-published home addresses and property values, that creates a profile of where you live, what you earn, and what your home is worth.
Campus controversies spill into personal spaces
Student protests, faculty disputes, and admissions or speech controversies escalate fast. In high-profile cases, critics have shown up at administrators' homes, and broker sites are often where they find it. Removing the listing takes that source out of reach.
National media amplifies local decisions
A decision that would stay local elsewhere can become national news at a university. Once it does, the audience searching your name jumps from the campus community to millions of strangers with strong opinions.
Family members become identifiable through your role
Brokers list "associated people" by address. Your spouse and children appear on your listing, and at institutions where you live on or near campus, the information is even more accessible. The president's family becomes a set of names and an address on a people-search site.

Audit your exposure
We scan data brokers, AI services, and public records for your name, phone, email, and address. You'll see which sites connect your institutional role to your home address, phone number, and family members.
Submit removal requests
We handle opt-out submissions everywhere your information appears: web forms, legal deletion requests, and requests to broker networks that share data under one owner, so a single request can clear multiple listings.
Verify and follow up
Each removal is verified. Non-compliant brokers receive escalated legal requests. Persistent listings get additional follow-up.
Scan monthly
New appointments, address changes, and data source refreshes can bring old listings back. We run a full scan every month and resubmit removals automatically, keeping your information from resurfacing as campus events renew search interest.
