How Do I Use The Deletion Guides?

Even without a Privacy Bee Essentials, Pro, or Signature License, we provide manual removal options for most sites we scan, allowing all our customers to take their privacy into their own hands. This article will explain where you can find the removal guides for each site when they are available.


Looking at your dashboard, go to the left navigation bar and select the Excruciating Detail page. Enter the company name (or domain) in the "Search Companies" search bar in the top left corner, and click on the company name to find the Deletion Guides. You will land on the "Activity" tab, next, tap the "Deletion Guide" tab.


Excruciating Detail

Deletion Guide Tab


On this page, you can see the company's Overview, the Risk Score Factors the company has earned by hovering over the number under the company name, a description of the type of personal information they expose, and why the Deletion Guide exists. You can also use the "Delete My Data" button to manually request our privacy team to begin the removal process on your behalf.



As you scroll down the page, you will find the complete guide to removing your information from the site you clicked on! It has a series of steps to guide you through the process. Each Data Broker and People Search website will have an "Opt-Out Guide" for its removal process.



Opt-Out Instructions



Every Opt-Out Guide will have a series of steps with descriptions and screenshots to make the process as easy for you to complete as possible. As you follow these steps, if you have any questions, you can consult the FAQs on the tab at the top of the page or use our mascot, Orwell (located in the lower right corner of your account), for questions that need to be answered for the specific site you are attempting to remove information from. He can also connect you to our friendly support team! When you complete the removal process, there will be a waiting period, which can vary per site.
