Remove yourself from data brokers
Over 1,000 companies collect your name, address, phone number, relatives, and personal history — then publish it where anyone can find it. Delist finds your listings, files the removals, and re-submits when they come back.

Broker listings are the supply chain for the spam calls, scam texts, and unwanted contact that follow. The consumer-facing people-search sites are the ones you'd recognize. The wholesalers upstream — quietly selling your data to hundreds of downstream sites you've never heard of — are the ones doing the most damage.
You can opt out yourself — where state law applies, brokers are legally required to honor the request. They make the process as slow and friction-heavy as they're allowed to. The aggressive ones take a week, require email verification, and re-list you within weeks anyway. There are more than 1,000 of them. Doing it once isn't enough — the treadmill doesn't stop. Delist runs it for you, and keeps running it.
Where to start
Grouped by impact. Umbrella operators and wholesalers cover the most ground per removal — tackle those before the independents.
