Data removal services can remove large amounts of sensitive information from the internet, much of which is collected by data brokers without our knowledge. These services scan the internet for these information and submits a removal request to the data brokers hosting it, which can take several days to complete. The service saves time by contacting over 1,000 data brokers and over 180,000 custom sites, saving four days of manual searching and requesting removal. The ongoing monitoring provided by these services ensures that even if your data is removed, it will reappear months or weeks later. However, there are limitations to these services, including monitoring public records, business records, and "certain" court records.
