3. Continue your data removal journey

And with that, your part in the removal process is done. Private Eye doesn’t commit to a timeline for actually having your information removed, but it should be gone within a week or so.

If you take your personal privacy seriously, you won’t be satisfied with just getting your listing off the Private Eye database. PeopleFinders is just one of the other sites and companies that have your personal information.

There are hundreds of data brokers operating in the States alone, and if one has your data, you can be sure that others do too. We have easy-to-follow, step-by-step opt-out guides for many of the largest data brokers in the industry.

Tracking down and opting out of every data broker that definitely or probably has your personal data would take you about 304 hours. And that’s just the first pass. Data brokers tend to continuously scrape public records and other sources and recreate profiles even after you’ve opted out.

So once you’ve put in your 300+ hours into getting your data off the market, it’s time to go back to the top of the list and start checking back with these companies and resubmitting opt-out requests. It’s truly never-ending.
