How much of you is already public?

Data brokers build and sell a profile of you from public records and scraped sources, usually without you ever knowing. This is an honest read of how exposed you likely are, and exactly what to do about it. It does not search for your records or send anything anywhere. It runs entirely on this page.

No input leaves your device. No tracking. No account.

Step 01

Answer eight honest questions

Each one maps to a real source data brokers harvest. Toggle the ones that apply. The more that are true, the more broker records likely exist under your name. Nobody sees these answers but you.

Step 03 · Do it yourself

The manual opt-out plan

This is the free path, and it genuinely works. Each broker below has a real opt-out page. The catch: there are hundreds of brokers, they re-list you over time, and each form takes real minutes. Start with these high-traffic ones, which feed most of the smaller sites.

The honest tradeoff: manual opt-out is free but it is a recurring chore, not a one-time fix. Brokers repopulate from fresh public records every few months, so this is a quarterly habit if you do it yourself.

Step 04 · Or automate it

Removal services, compared honestly

If you would rather not spend a weekend on opt-out forms four times a year, these services do it continuously across hundreds of brokers and keep you de-listed. They are paid subscriptions. Pick on coverage and whether you want pure removal or a broader identity-protection bundle.

Disclosure: some links on this page are affiliate links. If you subscribe through one, this site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It does not change the ranking or the assessment above. These are the services I would point a friend to either way; the manual path costs nothing and is laid out in full directly above.

Built client-side, like the rest of the free tools. For the bigger picture, read the research hub or browse the writing archive.
