AFTER STALKING

Take back what they knew about you.

Whatever the stalker had — address, family connections, workplace, daily routine clues — data brokers still publish for anyone to find. The privacy work after a stalking incident is closing the public surface they used and watching it stay closed.

WHY THIS MATTERS

The information they had hasn't gone anywhere

Recovery from stalking takes many forms. The privacy piece is real and worth doing — even with a protective order in place, your broker-published data is still searchable by anyone, including the person you don't want finding you.

If you've moved, brokers will find the new address

Voter rolls, vehicle registrations, utility records, and lease records feed broker databases on a rolling basis. A new address typically becomes searchable on people-search sites within weeks of a move unless the broker side is addressed.

Family members can bridge to you

Brokers link records by shared addresses and family relationships. If a parent or sibling's profile lists you as "associated," your address comes through that bridge regardless of your own privacy work.

Old records persist

Broker databases retain address history going back many years. Old jointly-held addresses, old workplaces, and old emergency contacts stay searchable. Each becomes a potential bridge.

Re-listing is the rule, not the exception

Brokers refresh databases continuously. A one-time removal lapses within 30-90 days as new records flow in. Continuous monitoring is what keeps the closure durable.

The legal piece is the legal piece. The data-broker piece is independent and within reach.

HOW DELIST HELPS

Closing the broker layer, durably

1

Scan the brokers

The free scan covers data brokers, people-search sites, and aggregators. You see exactly what's still searchable about you.

2

Remove current and historical records

Removal requests across the brokers we cover, addressing current address, address history, family-relationship records, and old workplace records.

3

Keep your account isolated

Single-person plan by default. Family plans are opt-in only when household members are aligned with your safety plan.

4

Watch continuously

Brokers re-add data from new public records within weeks. Continuous monitoring catches and re-submits without you having to remember.

FAQ

Common questions

Assume yes. Whatever they knew before — addresses, employer, family, daily patterns — is still searchable on broker sites. If you've moved, they may not have your new address yet, which is the window the privacy work tries to keep closed. Search yourself on the major people-search sites to see what's currently published.
No. Removal requests are between you and the broker. The stalker, if they were watching a specific broker profile, will see the profile disappear over the next 24-72 hours. That's not a notification to them — it's the same thing they'd see if you'd asked any other person whose data is on broker sites to be removed. Most brokers receive thousands of removal requests; an individual one is not a trackable signal.
If you haven't already, yes — usually before everything else. A protective order is the legal foundation that other privacy tools build on. Your state's bar association, courthouse, or domestic-violence advocate can walk you through filing. WomensLaw.org has state-specific guides at womenslaw.org.
Protective orders themselves are public records in most states, which can be a complication — they may include your address. Many states allow address-confidentiality requests as part of the protective-order filing or through an Address Confidentiality Program. Your state's victim advocate or family-law attorney can advise.
Most brokers process within 24-72 hours of submission, some take 30-45 days. Data wholesalers take the full FCRA 30 days. The fastest brokers clear within days; the slower wholesalers take longer but matter because they're upstream of much of the broker layer.
