Has anyone ever done this by going to the website of a data broker and using their opt out form?

Obviously to do this they ask for information so they know what not to include, but it feels like I’m just giving my data to them or confirming what they already have.

Just wondering what other people think since I haven’t heard anyone talk about this yet.

      I spot checked a few of the big ones to confirm.

      How did you do this? Do they all have databases that can be searched, or was it through your removal service?

      Hmm. I knew about tax records being public, but not voter registrations.

      I work in an enclave city for the ultra-rich. We have lots of celebrities and billionaires. There are fewer than 1000 homes and the taxable value of residences in town is nearly 4 billion.

      Anyway: it’s hard to know who owns what because most of them put their property under an LLC named after the address to protect their privacy.
