Online privacy protection involves proactively removing your sensitive personal data from various internet sources like data broker sites, background check platforms, and public databases. This prevents unauthorized access, reduces your digital footprint, and minimizes your vulnerability to online threats.

Your personal information is widely available because it's collected from public records (like property deeds, court documents, voter registrations) and then aggregated and sold by data brokers. Many websites are designed to make this information easily discoverable for a fee.

Data brokers are companies that collect vast amounts of personal information from numerous public and private sources, compile it, and then sell it to other businesses or individuals. They often gather data without your direct consent or knowledge, as it's considered publicly accessible.

When your personal information is exposed, it creates opportunities for identity theft, phishing attacks, online harassment, fraudulent account creation, and targeted scams. Criminals can use this data to impersonate you, access your finances, or even threaten your physical safety.

While you can attempt to remove your information yourself by contacting each site individually, it's an extremely time-consuming and challenging process. Data broker sites intentionally make opt-out procedures difficult, and new listings frequently appear, making continuous management impractical for most.

Brand Fortis utilizes a combination of advanced scanning technology to locate your exposed data and a team of dedicated specialists to initiate and oversee removal requests. We systematically contact data brokers and background check sites to ensure your information is taken down efficiently and thoroughly.

The time it takes to see results can vary, but we typically begin removing information swiftly. While some sites may process requests quickly, others can take several weeks. Our team works diligently to expedite the process and provides updates on progress.

While we strive for permanent deletion, data brokers constantly re-scrape public records, so new listings can occasionally reappear. Our service includes ongoing monitoring and re-removal efforts to catch and eliminate any new instances of your personal information, ensuring sustained privacy protection.

We focus on removing sensitive personal identifying information such as your full name, addresses (current and past), phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, and details about family members that are often exposed on data broker and background check sites.

Our privacy protection service is designed to safeguard both you and your loved ones. During the initial audit, we search for and include information related to your spouse, children, and other close relatives to provide comprehensive protection for your entire family's digital footprint.
