What a data broker removal service actually does
Set the baseline: submits and re-submits opt-out requests on your behalf, across a list of brokers, on a recurring schedule. Link to the Data Removal Service glossary term.
How we compared them
State the methodology before the table — coverage count, recurrence, proof of removal, price, and what happens on re-listing. Without a stated methodology this is an ad.
The comparison
Table: service, annual price, brokers covered, recheck frequency, family plans,
free scan, verification/proof. Include Delist My Data with our status disclosed.
Populate from a data file with a verified_on date, not from prose.
When doing it yourself for free is the better choice
Genuinely argue the free path for readers with limited exposure. Link to the removal pillar. This section is what makes the rest of the page believable.
What none of these services can do
De-index everything from Google, remove court and property records, or guarantee permanence. Setting accurate expectations here is a differentiator — most competitor pages overclaim.
