DeleteMe - Protect Your Privacy by Removing Personal Information

DeleteMe is like a privacy concierge — once you give them your personal information (name, emails, phone numbers, addresses, etc.), they go out and start scrubbing it from a curated list of data broker sites. You don't get instant gratification, but every quarter, you'll get a detailed report showing where they found your info, what they got removed, and where they're still following up. The reports even include screenshots of the original data listings — which, frankly, can be unsettling at first.

The best thing about DeleteMe is that it's ongoing. Unlike Incogni, which runs quietly in the background and provides a passive log, DeleteMe stays in touch and keeps cleaning up new appearances of your data. That persistence makes a difference because data brokers often repopulate info from public sources. That said, some removals do require extra steps — especially from the harder-to-remove sites that want ID verification.

The biggest downside is the cost — it's more expensive than Incogni, especially for families or multiple individuals. And because reports only come quarterly, there's a bit of a 'wait and see' aspect. But if you've ever had your address posted publicly or get constant spam calls, this is one of the few tools that truly moves the needle on digital exposure.
