What "800+ broker sites" actually means.
We file directly with the major data-broker aggregators. Their corporate structure means one opt-out at the parent clears every consumer-facing site they operate. Here's the math, the names, and the sources we use to back the claim.
A breach leaks your credentials. Hackers chain those credentials to your address, phone, family, employer using public broker sites. This page substantiates the broker half of that chain — the cleanup side.
Paired with our breach-side coverage (HIBP + DeHashed monitoring on every plan), this is the only closed loop in the privacy market — we map where leaked credentials surface on broker sites, then file the opt-outs that scrub them. Free breach checkers see stage 1. $129+/yr broker-removal services see stage 3. $300/yr identity bundles silo both as separate features. We treat them as one attack.

The major aggregators we cover at the parent level
Each company below registers separately with the California Privacy Protection Agency and operates the consumer-facing broker domains listed. A single authorized-agent opt-out filing at the parent clears the entire family — that's the source of the "rollup multiplier" in our coverage math.
PeopleConnect, Inc. (dba The Control Group Media Company LLC)
34 sitesOperates as three separate LLCs in the CPPA registry (Intelius LLC, TruthFinder LLC, Instant Checkmate LLC). A single opt-out at the PeopleConnect suppression center clears the entire family. Each LLC enumerates its domains in its own CPPA filing.
The Lifetime Value Co. LLC (LTV)
13 sitesOperator of the BeenVerified family. Enumerated on ltvco.com/brands and in CPPA "BeenVerified LLC and its subsidiaries and affiliates" filing.
InfoPay, Inc. (Boston, MA)
13 sitesOperator of the InfoTracer / RecordsFinder family. Globicom Inc / Intermedia Ventures separately register some of the same domains — likely a duplicate registration; treated conservatively (not double-counted).
Spokeo, Inc. (Pasadena, CA)
6 sitesIndependent operator (NOT part of PeopleConnect, contra common assumption). ThatsThem and AnyWho are Spokeo properties — commonly listed as standalone brokers but actually rolled up under Spokeo opt-outs.
MyLife.com, Inc. (Insightbridge LLC registrant)
1 sitesHistorical acquisitions (Wink, Reunion.com, Planet Alumni, HighSchoolAlumni, GoodContacts, MyAddressBook) were folded into mylife.com — no separately-operated affiliates today.
TruePeopleSearch / FastPeopleSearch (operator unverified)
2 sitesPer Krebs investigation (March 2024): sites registered through Alibaba Cloud in Beijing, listed founders appear fabricated. No CPPA registration. Co-operation between the two domains is high-confidence; further affiliates low.
The 800+ number: anchored to the CA CPPA registry
California's Privacy Protection Agency operates the only mandatory U.S. data-broker registry. Every entity that "knowingly collects and sells to third parties the personal information of a consumer with whom the business does not have a direct relationship" must register annually under California Civil Code §1798.99.82.
As of 2026-05-26, the registry lists 805 registered data brokers. Each is a distinct legal entity. Many operate multiple consumer-facing domains under one filing (the table above documents 5 major examples). The "800+ broker sites" figure on our pricing page anchors to this registry.

Verifiable (cite-able): Our 152+ direct filings + 69 documented affiliate domains across the 5 parents above. Sourced from each parent's own CPPA filing or privacy policy.
Industry-estimated: The "800+ broker sites" framing reflects the CPPA registry's universe plus the affiliate-rollup multiplier those filings create. We don't claim every CPPA-registered broker is in our active send queue — only that our filings touch the major aggregators whose data licensing relationships propagate downstream through the registry.
