This list was started on September 29, 2017 and was most recently updated in March 2023 to add some direct mail removal services, and in February 2023 to move Instant Checkmate information under Intelius, to add Locate People, and to remove a now-defunct paid option for opt-outs. We also added information on People Search Site, which charges money for removal (whaaaat?) and appears to have a non-functional email address. We added Dataveria, Glad I Know, PublicDataUSA, and Vericora. We updated opt-out links for Acxiom, Intelius, and others. We also fixed dead links, removed information on deprecated services, and made some other minor fixes.

This list was started on September 29, 2017 and was most recently updated in May 2023 to add information on sites that require you to click links sent via email or to receive an automated call and enter a four-digit number on your phone in order to complete an opt-out request.

Please send corrections or updates to [yael@yaelwrites.com](mailto:yael@yaelwrites.com), or file a pull request. Screenshots in emails are incredibly helpful. I will add opt-outs where users can verify that the data broker has their information before providing it, and where removal is not limited to GDPR/CCPA/etc.
