SITUATION

A move spreads your address across the internet. We find it and get it taken down.

Your new address starts feeding data broker sites within days — pulled from utility signups, mail forwarding, voter rolls, and property filings. Your old address stays published too. We scan for both and file removal requests wherever they turn up.

A move is a data event

Relocating triggers a cascade of address updates across public records, utilities, and commercial databases. Data brokers aggregate all of it.

New address propagation

Mail forwarding, utility sign-ups, voter registration, and property records all feed broker databases. People-search sites reflect the change in 2–4 weeks, often faster.

Old address persistence

Data brokers don't replace records — they accumulate them. Your old address stays published next to your new one. The result: a free, browsable location history.

Household linkage

Brokers link household members by address. Moving with a partner or family ties the new address to everyone. Removing only your records leaves the link intact through theirs.

Clean up your location footprint

1

Scan for all listed addresses

We search the open internet for addresses tied to your name, past and present, wherever they show up. You'll see exactly where your old and new addresses appear.

2

Remove both old and new

We file removal requests for each address-bearing listing we find, including your previous address, not just the current one. Each broker gets the right opt-out method.

3

Cover the household

If you're moving with family, we remove listings for household members too. Brokers link people by address, so incomplete removal leaves gaps that reconnect your data.

4

Catch post-move re-listings

New address data keeps entering broker sites for weeks after a move. We run a full scan every month for re-listings and new appearances, and file removals as they surface.

Questions about moving and privacy

Usually 2–4 weeks after connecting utilities, forwarding mail, or updating voter registration. Property records can appear sooner in states that digitize deeds quickly.
Yes. We scan and remove listings for any address tied to your name. Brokers accumulate history rather than replacing it, so most profiles carry both addresses. We request removal of the whole profile.
No. Starting before or during a move gets your old address removed sooner, and our monitoring catches the new address as it shows up. Earlier is always cheaper than catching up later.
Safety-related moves get priority handling: thorough removal of all address records and close re-listing monitoring. Your data is never sold or shared, and yours to delete anytime. Reach out if you need a closer review.
