1. Work from a list you built, not from a rumour
Search your own name, plus the city you have lived in, and note the sites that show a profile about you. The free self-check on this site can help you start that list. Only work on records that are about you.
2. Open the broker’s own privacy or opt-out page
Look for a “privacy”, “do not sell”, “data subject request” or “opt out” link on that same site, on a page they published. Prefer a form on their own domain over a third-party instruction that may be out of date. Some jurisdictions give residents a legal route (for example, California’s Delete Act / DROP, the EU and UK GDPR, or Kenya’s Data Protection Act). Use the official government path for your place if one exists, as well as the broker’s form.
3. Identify yourself, and only yourself
Brokers usually ask you to prove the record is yours. Send the minimum they ask for. Do not submit someone else’s name. Keep a copy of the date, the URL, a reference number if they give one, and what you sent.
4. Follow up, then check again
Give their stated time window, then search again. If the record is still there, use the same reference and ask once more. Some brokers recreate records from fresh commercial feeds; a single opt-out is not always the end of the story. That is a reason some people also order a written report and a set of letters they can send themselves.
The Exposure Report is a one-off $19 (KSh 2,450), or Deluxe $29 (KSh 3,750) with a DIY letter kit. Payment is by card via Gumroad, on the pricing page. It is a snapshot and a plan about you, not an ongoing removal subscription, and it is not legal advice.
