§01 — Coverage
What we take off the data-broker layer
These are the fields that people-search and data-broker sites expose about almost everyone — and the ones that fuel doxxing, SIM-swaps, and scam calls. We remove them where the law lets us, and tell you clearly where a record is public and out of reach.

§02 — Method
A ledger, not a black box.
Every removal is tracked and reported. You always know what was listed, what came down, what's being monitored, and what's public record we can't touch.
- 01
Exposure scan
You send a name and city. We search 215+ data brokers and people-search sites and return a plain list of every listing that exposes your address, phone, relatives, or DOB.
- 02
File the removals
For each listing we're legally entitled to remove, we file the opt-out through the exact channel that broker honours — not the public form that quietly fails.
- 03
De-index & confirm
As broker pages come down, the Google results that indexed them drop out. We confirm each removal and, where a page won't come down, file a 'Results about you' request.
- 04
Monthly monitoring
Brokers re-list from public feeds, so a one-time sweep isn't enough. We re-scan every month and re-file automatically, and report what stayed down.
Why removed records come back — and how honest services handle it
Data brokers don't store your record once; they continually rebuild it from public feeds — voter files, property deeds, marketing lists. So a listing you removed can re-appear when the broker refreshes. Three things separate real privacy work from marketing:
- No one deletes you permanently. Removal is ongoing maintenance, not a one-time event. Anyone promising permanent deletion is overselling.
- Public records can't be opted out. Court, property, and voter data are government sources; aggregators can re-list from them legally.
- Monitoring is the actual product. The value is re-checking monthly and re-filing — which is exactly what we do.
We never ask for account passwords, never bill before the free scan, and never use forged legal notices. If someone claiming to be Redactly does, it isn't us.
§03 — Questions
Straight answers, including the limits
The questions we get most in the free scan — answered the way we'd want to be told.
Partly, and honestly. We remove the copies that data brokers and people-search sites publish — which is where most of your exposed address, phone, and family data actually circulates. Those companies are required in many US states, and under GDPR in Europe, to honour opt-out requests, so a correctly filed request removes the listing. What we cannot remove is information at its source: public court records, property deeds, legitimate press coverage, or anything you posted yourself, because no opt-out reaches those. In practice, clearing the broker layer takes your name out of the cheap lookup tools that stalkers, scam callers, and spammers reach for first. We scan 215+ brokers, show you exactly what is listed, file every removal we are entitled to, and tell you plainly which items are public record and out of reach. That honesty is the line between real privacy work and a scam.
Most first removals land within 72 hours to a few weeks, depending on how fast each broker processes opt-outs — some are same-day, a few take up to 45 days by law. The uncomfortable truth is that removal is not permanent on its own: data brokers continually re-source records from public feeds, so a listing you cleared can reappear weeks or months later when the broker refreshes its database. That is not a failure of the opt-out; it is how the industry works. This is why Redactly runs monthly re-scans and re-files removals automatically for as long as you are with us, rather than doing a single sweep and calling it done. Anyone promising a permanent one-time deletion is either misinformed or selling something. We measure success by what stays down over time, not by what disappears for a week.
You can absolutely do it yourself — every legitimate opt-out is free, and we will tell you that upfront. The difference is coverage, format, and persistence. There are 200-plus broker and people-search sites, each with a different route: some want an email, some a web form, some a mailed request or an ID upload, and several deliberately bury the process. Filing all of them correctly, then re-checking every month because they re-list, is roughly 20 to 40 hours of ongoing work a year. Redactly maps which brokers actually hold your data, files each request through the channel that broker honours, and re-files when records reappear. We also know which 'opt-out' pages are traps that simply confirm your data back to the broker. You are paying for coverage and monthly persistence, not for access to a secret — there isn't one.
Usually the fastest way to clear your address from Google is to remove it at the source — the people-search page Google is indexing — because once that page is gone, the result drops out on Google's next crawl. So most 'remove my address from Google' cases are really data-broker removals wearing a different hat, and that is the bulk of what we do. Where the underlying page won't come down, Google also offers a 'Results about you' tool for pages exposing personal contact details like home address and phone number, and we prepare and file those requests for you. What Google will not remove is legitimate news, public records, or content with no personal-safety basis to contest. We are specific with you about which route applies to each result, rather than promising blanket 'Google removal', which no one can honestly guarantee.
We are upfront about the limits, because the services that aren't will cost you money and trust. We cannot remove public records — court filings, arrest records, property deeds, voter and business registrations — because they are government data, and the aggregator sites that republish them can often re-list from the public source even after we file. We cannot remove truthful news coverage, or content on sites with no opt-out obligation. We cannot delete what you posted yourself on social media, though we will show you how. And we will never use fake legal threats, forged DMCA notices, or 'guaranteed permanent deletion' claims to pretend otherwise. What we can reliably remove is the commercial data-broker and people-search layer — which is exactly where the address, phone, and family data that fuels doxxing and scam calls circulates.
We quote a flat, written price after the free exposure scan, so you see what is actually listed before you decide. Typical individual coverage — a full broker sweep plus monthly re-listing monitoring — runs in the low hundreds of dollars a year, comparable to the established subscription tools, and we will tell you honestly if one of those off-the-shelf services would serve you just as well for less. Higher-touch work — active doxxing response, family plans, executive or public-figure exposure, or search-result de-indexing — is priced per case and quoted before any commitment. We do not take upfront crypto-only payments, we do not auto-renew without telling you, and we do not charge for public-record items we have already told you we cannot remove. The scan and the quote are free; you pay only once you have seen the exposure and agreed the scope.
