How to use this page: We recommend opting out of high-priority sites first. If you only have the time and patience for 13, start with sites marked 💐. If you can do 19 (total), go to sites marked ☠ as well. Once you’ve completed all of those, you can start to work your way through the rest of the list.

We’ve reordered this list by priority for your convenience.

Please send corrections or updates to <yael@yaelwrites.com> using the subject line “BADBOOL,” or file a pull request. (You can find other ways to reach me [on the contact page on my website](https://yaelwrites.com/contact).) Screenshots in emails are incredibly helpful. With very few exceptions, I only add opt-out information if users can verify that the data broker has their information before sharing additional data. To make the site accessible to the largest number of people, I include listings where removal is not limited to people in jurisdictions with privacy laws, to specific professions, or to people who are able to provide police reports, court orders, or letters from credit reporting agencies, to prove they are at risk.
