Hi,

I’ve spent the last month doing DIY opt outs from whitepages, along with deleting/privating a bunch of old accounts and social media posts. Some data brokers actually removed my data.

However, I also had a lot of back and forth with others who flat out refuse to remove my profiles. Some even make the opting out process very gimmicky.

For context, I’m aware that data brokers can rebuild your profile after a few months. I work in a sensitive field, though, so I want to avoid my information being easily found by clients.

I’m currently considering subscribing to a data removal service. Several colleagues mentioned Incogni, but I've also heard of DeleteMe, Aura and Optery.

Has anyone tried any of these long term? How was the experience?
