Green Email means the broker's own privacy page tells people to email that address. Amber Their page means the request goes through the broker's own form or privacy page. The 2024 line is the broker's own report to California: deletion requests received, completed in full, and denied.
Brokers search their records with what you give them. Give the details that appear on your listings, and nothing more. A phone number you have never published tells a broker that did not have it something new.
Send the request from the email address that appears on your listings, if there is one. Brokers often match on the sender's address.
Your request
Email drafts
Each draft opens in your email app, already addressed and written. Email services cap how many recipients you can reach in a day, so send a few drafts, then come back. Your progress is remembered on this device.
Their own pages
These brokers take requests through their own form or privacy page. Open each one, paste your letter or fill in the form, and confirm any email they send you.
How it works
Three steps. No sign-up anywhere.
Pick the brokers
Every broker registered with California is in the list. Start with the people-search sites, the ones that publish your name, address and relatives.
Write one request
Fill in only what your listings already show. RepCheckr turns it into a plain deletion and do-not-sell request, right in your browser. RepCheckr never receives it.
Send it yourself
Email drafts open in your own mail app. Brokers that only take a form get a direct link. You tick each one off as you go.
Check the broker before you ask
Every registered broker has to tell California how many deletion requests it got and how many it carried out. These are the people-search sites' own figures for 2024.

Self-reported by each broker to the California Privacy Protection Agency's registry, updated October 30, 2026. Brokers count requests in different ways, and some requests are completed in part, which is not shown. Use the numbers as a rough guide, not a grade. See all 625 brokers.
Who this is for
Anyone who has searched their own name and found a profile they never signed up for.
Spam calls and texts
California's privacy agency says limiting how your data is sold can reduce unwanted calls, texts and emails. Results vary, and numbers already sold stay out there.
Job and apartment seekers
Employers and landlords may search your name. A people-search profile with an old address and the wrong relatives is not the first impression you want.
People leaving a dangerous situation
Several sites publish current addresses. Removing them is one safety step, not a whole plan. Talk to an advocate about the rest.
Executives and public-facing jobs
Home address and family lookups are the usual worry. Start with the people-search sites, then the marketing brokers.
Families
Each person sends their own request from their own inbox. Bookmark this page and do one person per sitting.
People outside California
California's free state tool only serves California residents. This page works the same wherever you live.
Do it yourself, or hand it off
Both are fine. Here is the honest difference.
RepCheckr, do it yourself
You → your inbox → the broker
- Free, for every broker on the list
- The request comes from your own email address
- Your details never touch our servers
- You follow up on replies and re-run it every few months
Hand it off to Online Reputation Repair
You → a removal service → the brokers
- A paid service does the sending and the follow-up for you
- Useful when a listing is damaging, or you have no time to chase replies
- RepCheckr is affiliated with this service
- Get a free assessment or call (833) 437-1172
California has DROP. Use it too.
Since January 1, 2026, California residents can send one deletion request to over 600 registered data brokers through the state's free Delete Request and Opt-out Platform.
If you live in California
- Use DROP. It is free and run by the state.
- You verify you are a resident through the California Identity Gateway.
- Since August 1, 2026, brokers must access DROP at least once every 45 days to process requests. The state says status updates can take up to 90 days.
- Then use RepCheckr for the people-search sites' own forms, so the listings come down without waiting.
If you live anywhere else
- DROP is for California residents only.
- RepCheckr sends the same kind of request to the same registered brokers, from your own inbox.
- Some states give you a legal right to deletion and some do not. A broker can still honor a request it is not required to.

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes, for every broker on the list. There is no account and no upgrade. RepCheckr is paid for by its affiliation with Online Reputation Repair, a removal service you can use if you would rather hand the work off.
Do you see what I type?
No. The letter is built in your browser and the page sends nothing to RepCheckr. When you open a draft, the letter goes to the email app or Gmail account you pick, like any email you write. This page and the broker directory load no analytics and no third-party scripts. The only thing remembered is which brokers you ticked and marked done, saved in this browser so you can come back. Your name and details are not saved anywhere.
Where do the email addresses come from?
From each broker's own privacy page. An address is used only when the broker's page tells people to email it to make a privacy request. The page and the date it was read are on file for every one. Brokers whose pages do not offer an email route get a link to their own form instead.
Will this get me removed for good?
No one can promise that. A broker that completes your request removes what it holds today, but it can build a new profile from the next batch of public records. Plan to repeat the requests every few months. Some brokers will also ask you to verify who you are before acting. Share only what they ask for.
What do I do when a broker replies?
Read it. Many replies ask you to click a confirmation link, fill in a form, or confirm details. Nothing happens until you do. If a broker refuses, reply and ask which part it refused and why. If you hear nothing after several weeks, send the request again and mention the date of the first one.
Why do some brokers need their own form?
Many people-search sites only accept requests through a form, and some block email requests altogether. For those, RepCheckr gives you the direct link and your letter to paste, and remembers which ones you have done.
I'm in California. Should I use DROP instead?
Use both. DROP reaches registered brokers on a 45-day cycle. The people-search sites' own forms are usually faster for the listings you can actually see.
Why is my information still on Google?
Google shows copies of pages. After a broker removes your profile, the old result can linger until Google re-checks the page. Google's outdated-content removal tool asks it to refresh the result.
Rather not do this yourself?
There are hundreds of brokers, they re-list people, and each one wants its own confirmation. Online Reputation Repair does the broker cleanup for you.
Or talk to someone: (833) 437-1172 or hello@onlinereputationrepair.com
RepCheckr is affiliated with Online Reputation Repair, a paid removal service. Every manual opt-out on this site is free and works without it.
