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. _Disclaimers: Some of these opt-outs take a long time to go through. Sometimes, information is pulled from other sources and you’ll need to opt out multiple times for the same site. Data brokers come and go (and are bought out by others), and they also often change their opt-out pages. I try to update this ~every six months, but it’s not always current. Finally, even opting out of these sites doesn’t mean that your address is secure. In many states, real estate data and voter registration information is public (or easy to obtain). And, of course, location data can be found by physical means (e.g., following you home) and through other people who know it (i.e., social engineering). That said, removing your home address from data broker sites can significantly lower your attack surface and make it harder for people to find it. 💕_ @@ -22,18 +22,25 @@ If you've been doxed, you can remove your contact info from Google Search and Bi Google further allows you to remove non-consensual or intimate personal images, involuntary fake pornography, irrelevant pornography from Google search results for your name, content about you on sites with exploitative removal practices, and several other categories of information. -[https://support.google.com/websearch/troubleshooter/3111061](https://support.google.com/websearch/troubleshooter/3111061) - ## People Search Sites ### ☠ Acxiom -It is hard to find your own info for free, but you can opt out here: + +It is hard to find your own info for free, but people in some countries can opt out using the following links: + +[https://gdpr-fr.eu.acxiom.com/](https://gdpr-fr.eu.acxiom.com/) (France) + +[https://marketing.acxiom.com/AcxiomDE-Verbraucheranfragen.html](https://marketing.acxiom.com/AcxiomDE-Verbraucheranfragen.html) (Germany) + +[https://gdpr-it.eu.acxiom.com](https://gdpr-it.eu.acxiom.com) (Italy) + +[https://gdpr-es.eu.acxiom.com](https://gdpr-es.eu.acxiom.com)(Spain) [https://isapps.acxiom.com/optout/optout.aspx#section8](https://isapps.acxiom.com/optout/optout.aspx#section8) (U.S.) -[https://isapps.acxiom.com/optout/optout.aspx#section7](https://isapps.acxiom.com/optout/optout.aspx#section7) (non-U.S.) +Users in Argentina, Australia, Canada and Mexico may email [Consumer.Privacy@acxiom.com](mailto:Consumer.Privacy@acxiom.com). -[https://isapps.acxiom.com/optout/optout.aspx](https://isapps.acxiom.com/optout/optout.aspx) (info) +Users in Austria, India and Switzerland may email [Datenschutz@acxiom.com](mailto:Datenschutz@acxiom.com).
