RealDefense Launches RemoveMe to Automate Personal Data Removal and Monitoring
What this release is about: RealDefense introduces RemoveMe, an automated personal-information removal and monitoring service for data brokers and people-search sites.
PASADENA, CA, Oct. 27, 2025 — RealDefense, a leader in consumer privacy, security and device optimization, today announced RemoveMe®, an automated personal-information removal and monitoring service that helps consumers take back control of their data from data brokers, people-search engines and other data aggregation sites.
RemoveMe combines a free real-time scan with automated opt-outs and continuous monitoring. At launch, the service scans broker and people-search properties, submits and tracks verified removals, and re-removes data if it resurfaces. A real-time dashboard shows exposures found, removals in progress and completed confirmations; users can also opt into dark-web alerts, unused-account deletion support and social-profile cleanup guidance.
“Consumers shouldn’t need 200 hours, a spreadsheet and a law degree to stay private online,” said Gary Guseinov, CEO of RealDefense. “RemoveMe makes data-broker removal simple, transparent and ongoing – so our customers can reduce doxxing risks, reduce spam and robocalls, and help safeguard their families’ information without babysitting the process.”
Why this matters: how data brokers fuel spam, fraud and doxxing
- Spam calls and targeted fraud. Data-broker dossiers package phone numbers, demographics and interests that robocallers and scammers use to script believable lures and local-looking spoofed calls.
- Home-address exposure and doxxing. Many people-search sites publish current and past home addresses, relatives and contact details that can enable stalking or social engineering.
- Account takeovers and impersonation. Exposed profile data combined with breach scraps can help criminals reset accounts, impersonate organizations and phish with higher hit rates.
- It’s not one-and-done. Brokers refresh and republish records, so one-time opt-outs do not hold. Continuous monitoring and re-removal are required.
“Privacy is not a one-time event—it’s a lifecycle,” said Dermot Wall, Chief Product Officer at RealDefense. “Our approach is ‘set and stay private’: scan broadly, remove fast, and keep watching so customers don’t get re-exposed.”
Key capabilities
- Search & find: Broad broker and people-search discovery to locate exposed PII.
- Remove & opt out: Automated submissions with verification of completed removals.
- Monitor & track: Ongoing surveillance with re-removal if data reappears, plus a transparent dashboard and notifications.
