Most people know data brokers collect and sell our data. But very few realize how complex and interconnected this ecosystem is.

The team at EasyOptOuts broke down exactly how this unregulated ecosystem operates in their latest guide: How Data Brokers Work, covering:

• What data brokers are
• How they get your information
• Why this industry exists
• What you can do about it

EasyOptOuts - Personal Data Removal Service | Just $19.99/year

Remove your personal information from data brokers. 100% automated. Proven as effective as services costing 5-10x more.

EasyOptOuts

We recently added coverage for two data broker sites many people are listed on: https://nationalpublicdata.com/ and https://www.menstoppingviolence.org/

You can opt out from both sites in just a few minutes:

• Search your name and open your profile
• Copy the profile URL
• Scroll to the footer and click "Do Not Sell My Info"
• Paste the profile URL into the form
• Enter an email address (use an alias or junk email)
• Confirm the verification email
• Refresh the profile page to confirm removal

This is what I actually use, as opposed to what I recommend (which usually involves a lot of "it depends").

@g Got it, I'll discuss with the EOO team. We don't currently cover professional sites like Zoom Info, Rocket Reach, etc. because we don't collect professional data from users. Here's the list of sites we currently cover: https://easyoptouts.com/sites.

@g What country are you in and what sites are you finding your information? It would be great to know as we are actively looking for ways to offer our service to non-US residents if we can offer them a valuable service.

Consumer Reports found that EasyOptOuts was one of only two services with opt-out effectiveness comparable to hours of manual removals. At the most affordable price.

Some data removal services make your privacy problem worse: they blast all your info to hundreds of sketchy brokers, use manual overseas contractors, and even partner directly with the data brokers they're supposed to be opting you out of. That's not how we do it. https://easyoptouts.com/security.
