Why Have Only a Few Removal Requests Been Sent?

Why have only a few removal requests been sent?

If you're on an Essentials license and notice only a small number of removal requests have been submitted, this is expected - not a sign that something is wrong.

The Essentials license covers hundreds of People Search Sites and their affiliates. Privacy Bee works through these sites systematically, which means requests are submitted in batches over time rather than all at once. The process is ongoing and requests will continue to be submitted automatically as long as your license is active.

A few things that can affect how quickly requests go out:

• Identity Vault completeness - The more complete your Identity Vault is the more accurately Privacy Bee can match your information and submit requests with confidence. An incomplete vault can slow things down.
• Verification requirements - Some sites require additional verification steps before a removal request can be submitted, which adds time to the process.
• License tier - The Essentials license covers People Search Sites and affiliates. If you want broader coverage across a wider range of data broker categories, upgrading to a Pro license expands that significantly.
