Working remotely erased the line between where you live and where you work — and the address on the wrong side of that line was already published, by companies that sell it. Nobody has to decide you are worth finding any more, because finding you costs nothing. We file to get those listings taken down, and we file again when they come back.
What changed
You used to have to be worth looking up.
Finding out where somebody lives used to take a person hours.
Somebody had to decide you were worth those hours.
That decision is the only thing that was ever keeping most people out of reach.
It is the part that just stopped being true.
A reporter asked a chatbot for a professor's home address. It said no, then offered a different route and produced the address, what he paid for the house, and his wife's name.
California now legally requires data brokers to declare whether they sold your data to an AI developer. In the state's 2026 register, 32 of 603 said they did.
None of that is a machine guessing about you. It is a machine reading — off pages that are published, sold and indexed today. See the evidence, with every source linked →
None of this came from your employer and none of it leaked this week. It is on look-up pages now, in the one format a machine reads best: a list.
Look-up pages carry your current address, the addresses before it, and the relatives who share your surname — sorted, labelled, free to read. Remote or not, that page was always there. It just describes more of your day now.
The personal email you sign up to everything with sits in old breach records with a password beside it. If you ever reused that password near a work login, the two are one step apart.
Your employer, your job title and your company’s email pattern are usually public on a professional network. Put those beside a leaked personal address and a very convincing message writes itself.
A partner’s workplace, a shared address, the relatives the page links you to. Look-up sites publish them as links, so the page about you is also a page about them.
This is the part worth being specific about. Here is who we write to, what we ask them to take down, and what happens when they put it back.
Authorized-agent removal requests to 582 companies, covering 634 sites.
That includes 28 look-up sites — the ones anybody can type a name into and get an address back.
The list is not a marketing figure: every site is published, one line at a time.
Every line on the listing, named one at a time: your name and the variants you go by, your current and previous addresses, your personal number, and the relatives the page links you to.
They rebuild — that is the business.
California built its own deletion system on the assumption that removal is a standing job, not a one-off: from August 2026 every registered broker must check the state platform at least once every 45 days.
We file again each time one of them puts you back up, for as long as you are with us.
That is the honest reason this is a subscription and not a one-off purchase.
The 14-day filing guarantee: if a reason on our end stops us filing a majority (51%+) of what your plan files in its first 14 days, you get your money back.
Our refund policy governs every page on this site, and it says so in writing.
Every removal service in this category has these limits. We would rather you read ours here than find them out afterwards.
Your employer’s directory and your professional-network profile belong to you and to them, not to us, and we do not file against either. We file against the commercial pages that carry your home address.
If your details were in a breach, they are copied, traded and archived.
No company on earth can pull that back, and any company that tells you otherwise is selling you something.
We show you exactly what is out there. We do not pretend it can be undone.
We control whether the request goes out.
We do not control whether a company obeys it.
Most listings come down, some take longer, and a few companies refuse outright — our refund policy says which of those we will and will not refund.
An AI can look up what is published about you — the listings, the records, the pages that sell your address.
Taking those down means there is less to find. That is the one we work on.
An AI can also guess things you never published, from the way you write.
Nothing we remove changes that, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
It shows you what is already published about you and your household.
Protection is the part that files — authorized-agent removal requests to 582 companies, covering 634 broker sites, sent again each time one of them puts you back up.
Most come down, some take longer, and a few refuse.
The scan is free, needs no card, and shows you the real listings with your details on them — not an estimate, not a score.
If you decide you want the filing done for you, Protection is $14.99/mo and we keep filing for as long as you stay.
Requests go out as your authorized agent under CCPA and state-equivalent law.
Most listings come down, some take longer, and a few companies refuse — our refund policy governs and says so.
Your scan is private to you; we never sell your data.
