PrivacyCat - Remove Your Data from People Search Sites

Remove Your Data from
People Search Sites

Why I Built This
Founder Story

I Googled myself and found my home address on 15 websites I'd never heard of. Spent 3 hours submitting removal requests to each one. Then I got frustrated and built a tool to automate it.

Now I use PrivacyCat to keep my information off these sites. My spam calls dropped from 8 per day to 1-2 per week. Your results may vary, but if people search sites are part of your problem, this can help.

Why Remove Your Data from People Search Sites?

Your information on these sites can affect you in ways you might not realize

Reduce Spam Calls & Texts

Telemarketers and scammers buy phone lists from these sites. Removing your number can significantly reduce unwanted calls.

Personal Safety & Privacy

Keep your home address private from strangers, exes, or anyone you don't want knowing where you live.

Control Your Google Results

When employers, dates, or landlords Google you, they won't find your address, age, and family info on the first page.

Cleaner Background Checks

Old addresses, outdated info, and unrelated records showing up can complicate job applications and apartment rentals.

Will this stop ALL spam calls?

Probably not. Spam calls come from many sources—data breaches, companies you've signed up with, random dialers. We can only fix one piece: people search sites selling your number. I went from 8 spam calls per day to 1-2 per week, but your results will depend on where your number leaked from.

PrivacyCat's Unique Advantage

We're the only service offering pay-per-removal. Try it free with 2 removals included, then pay $1 per additional removal—no subscription required. Perfect if you only have a few exposures or want to test before committing.

Quality over quantity: We focus on the most important people search sites (MyLife, ZabaSearch, Addresses.com, etc.) that competitors often lock behind expensive tiers. One simple price, full coverage of what matters most. While Optery spreads across 600+ sites but charges $15-25/mo for complete coverage, and Incogni covers 420+ sites at $8-15/mo, we cover the critical ones for $9.98/mo—with the option to pay just $1 per removal if you prefer.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers to common questions about PrivacyCat

How does the pay-per-removal Plus tier work?

Every new user gets 2 free removals to try PrivacyCat. After using your free removals, you can purchase additional removals for $1 each. You'll see all your exposures in your dashboard and can select exactly which sites you want us to remove you from. It's perfect if you only have a few problematic listings or want to target specific sites without committing to a subscription.

What's the difference between Plus and Premium?

Plus users pay $1 per removal and choose which specific sites to remove from their dashboard. They still get quarterly scans like free users. Premium users get automatic monthly opt-outs for ALL found listings, monthly privacy scans, unlimited custom removals (for sites we don't automatically scan like BeenVerified), and continuous monitoring to ensure removed data doesn't reappear. Premium makes sense if you have 10+ exposures or want ongoing protection.

How does PrivacyCat find my information?

PrivacyCat uses advanced web scraping technology to search through 25+ people search sites across the web. We search using the personal information you provide (name, location, age) to find exact matches of your data. Our system mimics manual searches but does it automatically and continuously. Takes about 8 minutes for the initial scan.

What about sites like BeenVerified that require payment to search?

We can't automatically scan premium background check sites like BeenVerified because they paywall their data. However, Premium users get unlimited custom removal requests—if you find your data on BeenVerified, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, or any other site we don't scan, submit up to 10 URLs per request and we'll handle the opt-out process for you. Plus users don't have access to custom removals.

Will this stop all spam calls?

Probably not all of them. Spam calls come from many sources—data breaches, companies you've signed up with, random dialers. We can only fix one piece: people search sites selling your number to telemarketers. After using PrivacyCat, my spam calls dropped from 8 per day to 1-2 per week. Your results will depend on where your number originally leaked from.

How long does the removal process take?

The initial scan takes just 8 minutes. Once we submit removal requests, most data brokers process them within 7-45 days, though some can take up to 90 days. We handle all the follow-ups and verification steps for you. You'll see sites being removed from your dashboard as they complete the opt-out process.

Is my data safe with PrivacyCat?

Absolutely. We use bank-level 256-bit AES encryption to protect all your personal information. Your data is only used to search for and remove your information from data broker sites - we never sell or share it with third parties. We're also fully GDPR and CCPA compliant, and you can delete your account and all associated data at any time.

Can this help with background checks showing old information?

It can help with some situations. We remove your data from people search sites, which can show up in basic background checks and Google searches. This includes old addresses, outdated info, and public records. For comprehensive background check sites like BeenVerified or TruthFinder that we don't automatically scan, Premium users can use our custom removal feature to submit those specific URLs for removal.

What if I don't see results after Premium?

That's what our 30-day money-back guarantee is for. If you're not seeing value, just email us for a full refund, no questions asked.

What makes PrivacyCat different from DeleteMe, Optery, or Incogni?

A few things: (1) We show you actual screenshots of your exposures—most services don't. (2) We're transparent about exactly which 25+ sites we cover. (3) Our pricing is more straightforward with a lifetime option. (4) Premium users get unlimited custom removals for sites we don't scan, like BeenVerified or TruthFinder. (5) Our scans are way faster—8 minutes vs hours or days with competitors. (6) We offer pay-per-removal for $1 each—no other service does this.
