Privacy Dawg: Automated data broker opt-out that stays opted out (re-removes when re-listed)

Keith Ransom — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 20:23:51 +0000

Data brokers re-list your information within 90 days of a manual opt-out.

One-time removal services don't solve this. Recurring removal does.

Privacy Dawg runs automated opt-out submissions across 100+ data brokers on a continuous schedule.

What makes this different:

Runs on your own hardware — your identity data never leaves your machine
No third-party SaaS vendor holds your personal information
100+ broker network: Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, MyLife, PeopleFinder, Intelius, and 90+ more
Re-listing monitoring with automatic re-removal
Local-first architecture — zero cloud dependency

Why this matters:
Data brokers are the infrastructure behind doxxing, phishing, and social engineering. Removing your data is operational security.
