DeleteMe review

DeleteMe covers 969 data broker sites, which ranks 2 of 8 brands on this measure. You pass your details once and the service sends the removal requests for you. Written updates follow, so you can check progress without chasing each site.

The service covers US, CA and AU, which is the full list of markets stated. Readers living elsewhere fall outside it, so an alternative may suit you better if your country is not on that list. The broker count of 969 is the other limit to weigh, since many brokers operate in US markets only.

Removal is continuous rather than a single clean-up, running Regularly all year long, with quarterly privacy reports. That means a broker that adds your details again later is handled under the same plan. You also get progress reports on a set schedule, so you can see what was sent and when.

Support runs on email, chat and phone. Phone and chat sit alongside email, and the help centre covers the routine questions, so a disputed removal request can be escalated without hunting for an address. That matters most when a broker re-adds your details after a removal.

It is not open source, so the removal tooling stays closed and you cannot read the code behind it. What is stated is the reach: 969 data broker sites, plus the reporting schedule in Regularly all year long, with quarterly privacy reports. For most readers the broker list matters more than code access.

There is no free plan on this service, so you cannot test it before paying. Judge it on the written terms instead: 969 broker sites, coverage across US, CA and AU, and support on email, chat and phone. If a free option matters to you, the alternatives listed here are the place to look.

Breadth, not price, drives the offer score of 8. DeleteMe lists 969 broker sites, against from 200 for EasyOptOuts and 1,133 for Privacy Bee. Pay for the list size you actually need rather than for the longest name.
