DeleteMe is the service I used as my main example because I prefer their “search and remove” approach over blind opt-out. They look for where your data is publicly listed and then submit removal requests, instead of blasting your info out to thousands of brokers who may not even have it.
Pros
- +Uses a search-first approach rather than blind opt-out
- +Ongoing monitoring helps with the cat-and-mouse problem of re-listings
- +Dashboard and reports show what’s being found and removed
Cons
- -Can’t remove non-public data or solve everything (like the dark web)
- -Still requires sharing basic personal details for matching
