What is Removal frequency?

In short

Removal frequency tells you how often a service repeats its removal work after the first cleanup.

Removal frequency is how often a privacy service repeats its removal work, rather than clearing your records and stopping there. Data brokers resell the same details, so a single cleanup fades quickly. Steady repeats matter more than a large opening sweep.

The range runs from always-on to occasional. Cloaked and Cloaked, Inc. use always-on continuous monitoring, re-removing data in the background. Incogni re-sends its recurring requests on a much tighter cycle, Recurring requests re-sent about every 10 days. EasyOptOuts works more slowly, every 4 months, and DeleteMe spreads its work across the year and adds quarterly privacy reports, so you can check what changed.
