One line
Delist My Data is a Seattle-based service that finds and removes personal information from data broker and people-search sites, and publishes free opt-out guides for the brokers it covers.
Short
Delist My Data removes people's names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and relatives from data broker and people-search sites. It searches a catalog of 500+ sites, files each opt-out, re-checks monthly for re-listings, and publishes a free, step-by-step opt-out guide for every broker it covers, so anyone can do the removals themselves. The company is based in Seattle, Washington, and was founded in 2026.
Long
Data brokers and people-search sites compile names, home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, ages, and relatives into public profiles that anyone can look up. Delist My Data is a Seattle-based service that finds those listings and gets them taken down. It searches a catalog of 500+ data broker and people-search sites for a person's records, files the opt-out or suppression request each site requires, records the result, and re-scans monthly, because many brokers re-list people after a removal. Alongside the paid service, the company publishes free opt-out guides, one per broker, showing the actual form, the fields it asks for, and what to expect afterward, plus explainers on how the people-search industry works and which companies own which sites. The guides need no account or purchase. Delist My Data was founded in 2026 by Edward Fancher. The removal service is currently opening to a waitlist; the guides are live.
Facts you can cite
- Delist My Data publishes 39 free, step-by-step opt-out guides, one per data broker or people-search site, and 14 explainers on the people-search industry. Every guide shows the broker's actual opt-out form.
- California's Data Broker Registry, maintained by the California Privacy Protection Agency, listed 603 registered data brokers when we pulled it on September 1, 2026 (registry). Many of the people-search sites on it are storefronts run by the same company. Our who owns PeopleConnect explainer works through one example.
- Delist My Data is pre-launch. The removal service is open to a waitlist; the opt-out guides and explainers are live and free. Please describe it that way. We will update this page when the service opens.

Where we stand
We want comprehensive privacy law adopted across the United States. California residents can now file one deletion request through the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP), and every data broker registered in California has to act on it. Unfortunately, citizens of other states do not have the same rights. Until they do, our aim is to give everyone else the same ease: one request, every broker we cover, without a law to compel it. We will always stand for the adoption of better privacy laws in the United States. We have no affiliation with any data broker or people search services.
