Data brokers compile profiles on you — address, family, work, financial signals, more — and sell them to anyone with $50. This guide is how to take that profile back.
Data brokers are the part of the surveillance economy most people have never thought about. They quietly compile profiles on essentially every adult in many countries — current and past addresses, family members, employer, age, financial signals, and more — from public records, hacked databases, retailer purchases, and a thousand smaller leaks. They sell these profiles to anyone with $50 and an account: advertisers, debt collectors, private investigators, harassers, stalkers, scammers, and curious neighbours alike.
This guide is a practical removal program. It identifies the major brokers (the realistic dozen or so that matter most), walks through the actual opt-out processes (each one different, most deliberately tedious), covers the automated removal services honestly (which work, which are expensive snake oil, what they really do), explains your legal rights where they exist, and — crucially — covers how to reduce future exposure so removal is not endless work.
Written from real removal work. Not a list of links scraped from elsewhere. The shape of what actually works, what is tedious but worth it, and what to expect.
Anyone whose home address, family, or daily routine should not be sitting in a public profile for sale — especially anyone in a difficult personal situation where this matters more. No technical background required.
