-This list was started on September 29, 2017 and was most recently updated 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 also added Vericora, 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 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. 

 Please send corrections or updates to [yael@yaelwrites.com](mailto:yael@yaelwrites.com). 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.
