**PASADENA, CA, Oct. 27, 2025 —** RealDefense, a leader in consumer privacy, security and device optimization, today announced RemoveMe®, an automated personal-information removal and monitoring service that helps consumers take back control of their data from data brokers, people-search engines and other data aggregation sites.

RemoveMe combines a free real-time scan (from data-broker sites) with automated opt-outs and continuous monitoring. At launch, the service scans broker and people-search properties, submits and tracks verified removals, and re-removes data if it resurfaces – so users aren’t stuck repeating time-consuming manual requests. A real-time dashboard shows exposures found, removals in progress and completed confirmations; users can also opt into dark-web alerts, unused-account deletion support and social-profile cleanup guidance.

“Consumers shouldn’t need 200 hours, a spreadsheet and a law degree to stay private online,” said Gary Guseinov, CEO of RealDefense. “RemoveMe makes data-broker removal simple, transparent and ongoing – so our customers can reduce doxxing risks, reduce spam and robocalls, and help safeguard their families’ information without babysitting the process.”

U.S. consumers reported more than $12.5 billion in fraud losses in 2024, according to the Federal Trade Commission, and the Identity Theft Resource Center tracked a record 3,205 publicly reported U.S. data compromises in 2023 affecting an estimated 353 million people. Against that backdrop, 98% of Americans’ personal data is being shared online and 84% worry about their privacy, according to industry research.

### **Why this matters: how data brokers fuel spam, fraud and doxxing**

- **Spam calls and targeted fraud.** Data-broker dossiers package phone numbers, demographics and interests that robocallers and scammers use to script believable lures and local-looking spoofed calls. Reducing your presence on broker lists lowers both the volume and accuracy of those campaigns.
- **Home-address exposure and doxxing.** Many people-search sites publish current and past home addresses, relatives and contact details. That data can be cross-referenced with leaked emails or phone numbers to intimidate families, enable stalking, or power social-engineering attacks.
- **Account takeovers and impersonation.** When exposed profile data is combined with breach scraps, criminals can reset accounts, impersonate banks or shippers, and phish with higher hit rates.
- **It’s not one-and-done.** Brokers refresh and republish records, so one-time opt-outs don’t hold. Continuous monitoring and re-removal are required to keep information from resurfacing.

“Privacy is not a one-time event—it’s a lifecycle,” said Dermot Wall, Chief Product Officer at RealDefense. “Our approach is ‘set and stay private’: scan broadly, remove fast, and keep watching so customers don’t get re-exposed.”

**Key capabilities**

- **Search & find:** Broad broker and people-search discovery to locate exposed PII.
- **Remove & opt out:** Automated submissions with verification of completed removals.
- **Monitor & track:** Ongoing surveillance with re-removal if data reappears, plus a transparent dashboard and notifications.
- **Expanded protection:** Optional dark-web monitoring, unused-account deletion assistance and social-profile cleanup.

**Pricing:** Pricing varies by channel.
