Your data is on 37+ broker sites. Here's how to get it off.
See where you're exposed
Start with a free scan of 920 broker databases so you can see exactly which sites are selling your name, address, phone, and email — before you decide what to do about it.
Remove it, then keep it removed
Brokers re-list you within months, so a one-time opt-out doesn't hold. The fix is continuous removal that re-files automatically every time a broker adds you back.
Use the free California right
If you live in California, one DELETE Act filing reaches roughly 500 registered brokers at once. It's a state consumer right, so it costs nothing — we just prepare it for you.
The problem: you’re a searchable file, and you never agreed to it
Right now a data broker holds a file on you. It was assembled from public records, telecom databases, app-data leaks, and your social profiles, and it lists your full name, phone number, home address, email, employer, and family members. That file is for sale — to advertisers for pennies, to scammers for a little more, to anyone who wants to find you.
The average person’s data shows up on 37 or more of these sites. Opting out by hand takes 15 to 30 minutes per broker, and they re-list you within months. This is the exposure problem, and it has three parts: knowing where you are, getting removed, and staying removed.
Step 1 — See where you’re exposed
Before you fix anything, you need to know the size of the problem. KnytX Score quantifies your exposure from 0 to 100 in a couple of minutes, free and with no account. It’s the honest baseline: a number you can watch fall as removals land.
If you’d rather see the detail than a single number, the KnytX Shield scan searches 920 broker databases and returns a per-broker exposure report — every site that holds your data, named.
Step 2 — Remove it, and keep it removed
Finding the listings is the easy part. The hard part is that brokers re-acquire your data from public records and re-list you, so a single opt-out decays within months.
KnytX Shield is built for exactly this. It files removal requests under GDPR, CCPA, UK GDPR, DPDPA, and the Swiss FADP across the US, UK, EU, India, and Australia, then re-files automatically whenever a broker adds you back. That continuous re-submission is the mechanism independent studies point to as the difference between removal services that work and ones that don’t — which is why Shield is a subscription, not a one-time purchase.
Step 3 — Use the free California right
If you’re a California resident, you have a statutory shortcut. The California DELETE Act lets you file one verified request that reaches roughly 500 CPPA-registered brokers at once, and they have 45 days to comply. It’s a state-run right, so KnytX prepares and formats the filing for free, on the free tier. It doesn’t cover the long tail of unregistered or international brokers — that’s what paid Shield removal is for — but it’s a real deletion right worth using first.
Where to start
If you’re not sure how exposed you are, run the free Score first. If you already know you want the data gone and kept gone, go straight to Shield — it’s the product this whole problem maps to.
