What Information Do I Need to Provide for Data Broker Removal?

Data brokers compile and share personal information from a variety of public and online sources, putting your privacy at risk. Removing your data from these broker sites is a critical step in reclaiming your digital privacy. At PrivacyHawk, our Data Broker Removal tool simplifies this process by handling the heavy lifting for you—but first, we need some essential information to get started. This guide will walk you through what’s required and why it’s necessary, so you can confidently take control of your personal data.

Why Do We Need Your Information?

To successfully remove your personal data from broker sites, we need to identify and match your information to the listings these brokers maintain. Data brokers aggregate information from public records, online activities, and other sources. To ensure accuracy and effectiveness, we require specific details to locate and verify your records.

Your information is used solely for the purpose of data removal. PrivacyHawk employs strict security measures to protect your privacy.

Information You Need to Provide

When you join PrivacyHawk, we ask for the following basic details to initiate the data broker removal process:

1. Full Name

• Variations of your name (e.g., maiden name, nicknames, or aliases) may also be identified automatically as the system expands its search scope over time.

2. Location (City and State)

• Providing your current location helps pinpoint the most relevant data broker entries.

3. Age

• Age is used to help narrow down results and ensure accurate matches during the scanning process.

 

How Our System Works

PrivacyHawk’s advanced system begins by scanning data broker databases for matching information based on the initial details you provide. Over time, the system widens its net to catch additional items, such as previous addresses, phone numbers, and other historical data that may not initially appear in broker listings.

If additional details, such as past addresses or phone numbers, are later identified as part of the matching process, they will be targeted for removal without requiring further input from you.

 

The Benefits of Providing Accurate Information

The more complete and accurate the information you provide, the faster and more effectively we can:

• Locate and remove all instances of your personal data.

• Prevent reappearance by identifying records across multiple broker sites.

• Provide updates on the progress of your removal requests.

Accurate information not only improves the efficiency of the process but also ensures thorough results, helping you reclaim your digital privacy with confidence.
