Can I Make Specific Deletion Requests?

Privacy Bee will do everything lawfully possible to help remove your personal information from sites that expose it online.

How Removals Work:

We automatically begin scanning for your data with our list of 1,000+ Data Brokers and People Search Sites, since these sources often pose the most immediate privacy and security risk. This is designed to reduce the most common and high-impact exposures as quickly as possible.

Once your License is activated, our Global Response Team (with some automation) begins the removal process by submitting removal requests.

Some information may come from legally public sources (such as certain public records, e.g., marriage licenses), which can limit what can be removed.

If You Have a Site You're Most Concerned About:

If there's a company you want us to focus on first, you can send it to us.

To help us prioritize quickly, please include:

The company name, and/or
The direct link (URL) to the page or website where your information appears

Sending the exact link helps our team identify the exposure faster and take action more efficiently.

When You May Need to Request a Removal Manually:

Some websites are not classified as Data Brokers or People Search Sites, which means they may require a manual removal request (Custom Deletion Request) submitted from your Pro or Signature License.

For these non-core sites, Privacy Bee must have a digital trail proving that the request originates from our members and not from random sources. When submitting a Custom Deletion Request, include the website URL.

Need Help Prioritizing or Triggering a Request?

If you'd like us to prioritize a removal, or if you're not sure how to trigger a Custom Deletion Request in your License, send us the details, and we'll help.

In some cases, we may provide guidance or next steps if a site requires a specific process or additional verification.
