How to Remove Your Personal Information From Data Brokers
Data brokers are companies that quietly collect your personal information — name, address, phone number, relatives, and more — and sell it to anyone willing to pay. Their profiles are what make doxxing, stalking, and identity theft easy, and they are a major reason breached data is so dangerous.
You can opt out. Most brokers are legally required (under laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act) to delete your information when you ask. The catch is scale: there are hundreds of these sites, each with its own opt-out process, and they frequently re-add you months later.
Doing it manually means filing a separate request with every broker, then re-checking over time. It works, but it is tedious and never really finished.
If you would rather not spend weekends on opt-out forms, GalaxyWarden files the removals for you as your authorized agent across hundreds of brokers, and keeps watching so it can re-file if any of them put you back up.
