Some data brokers respond to our removal requests on the same day, while others may take their time. Certain laws and regulations set time limits for brokers to comply. For example, the CCPA requires data brokers to respond within 45 days and complete removal within 90 days. However, the exact time frame will vary from one broker to the next and depend on your location.
Why is it an ongoing process?
Keep in mind that we conduct searches every business day across the entire web.
Because data brokers often access the same personal information that has already been deleted and gather more of it over time, data removal is an ongoing process. Whenever you visit a website and accept cookies, use loyalty cards, or download apps, more of your data is collected and shared.
That’s why we routinely follow up with data brokers we've already addressed to ensure your personal information remains off their databases.
