After an exit, your personal data trail doesn't disappear. We take it down.
After an acquisition or secondary sale, your role ends — but the data trail from years of building doesn't. Press archives, SEC filings, corporate registrations, and broker listings don't expire when the deal closes. Delist removes your personal information from the internet and keeps it off.
Clean up your data trail →An exit closes the chapter, not the data trail
The records from a decade of company-building don't disappear when the deal closes. They sit in broker databases and serve as the foundation for your personal profile.
Acquisition press refreshes your searchability
The exit itself generates coverage — M&A announcements, deal prices, founder profiles across tech press and financial news. Fresh content linking your name to a transaction amount renews search interest in your personal details.
Exit proceeds create wealth signals
When the deal price is public, anyone can estimate your share from ownership stakes and option grants. People-search sites with estimated net worth update accordingly. Public exit plus searchable home address makes a high-value targeting profile.
Years of corporate filings persist in broker databases
State registrations, annual reports, trademark filings, and SEC documents from the company's lifecycle stay indexed. They link your name to business addresses, registered agents, and officer listings. Brokers don't clean up records when companies change hands.
New real estate creates new records
Post-exit home, vacation, or investment purchases generate fresh county records that brokers aggregate immediately. If you're trying to establish a lower profile after exit, these property records can undermine the effort within weeks.

Audit your full exposure
We scan the web for your name, all known addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. The scan captures the full breadth of records accumulated across your company-building years.
Submit removal requests
We handle opt-out submissions across the sites where you appear. Automated forms, legal removal requests, and operator-group resolution across the broker networks that share data. Historical records from years of filings are addressed alongside current listings.
Verify and follow up
Each removal is verified. Non-compliant brokers get escalated removal requests, and when a listing reappears we re-submit.
Monitor your new chapter
Whether you're starting a new company, joining a board, or stepping back entirely, continuous monitoring catches re-listings and new appearances. Your post-exit activities won't rebuild the same exposure profile you just cleaned up.
