A lot of people say that there’s no such thing as privacy online nowadays and that it’s just the way things should be. We strongly disagree as it’s every person’s right to have their personal data protected.
The harsh truth is that many websites out there don’t stop gathering information about users from public records and online usage itself. Even after you’ve previously removed your data, it doesn’t help.
Luckily, there are certain tools out there that can help you constantly monitor and automate the process of removing information from hundreds of websites continually over a long period of time.
BrandYourself
BrandYourself is capable of removing your personal information that has been exposed from over 35 websites. This will come at a cost, however, as the owners of the service demand $49.99 per month. It shall be billed annually at $299.99.
The service can even improve Google results to control what others can find when they use the famous search engine to see information about you. Using BrandYourself, you can even find out if your personal information has leaked on the Dark Web for an extra fee of $14.99 per year.
Another great feature that BrandYourself has to offer is that it helps you clean up your accounts on social media networks by deleting flagged posts and images.
DeleteMe
The standard subscription to the DeleteMe service will get you rid of your personal information from more than 30 data broker websites. This will cost you $10.75, which is a pretty low fee in our book. Once every three months, the service will scan and remove personal information from websites.
The paid fee will be billed annually at $129.
OneRep
OneRep is another impressive service that can keep your personal information safe. It has the power to remove a lot of your private information, even from the dark web, whether we’re talking about the phone number, home address, age, family members, and more.
There’s a 5-day trial period that you can try before deciding if OneRep is suitable for you or not.
Nobody likes it when their personal info is exposed without their consent, that’s for sure. Therefore, feel free to leave us your thoughts in the comments!
