Onerep protects your privacy and reduces your digital footprint by opting you out of data brokers. These sites acquire your personal information without your knowledge and profit from it without your explicit consent:
- Public data brokers, AKA people-search sites, expose your full name, home address and previous locations, contact details, family ties, education, employment history, estimated net worth, assets, bankruptcies, and other sensitive details. Anyone can look you up—including scammers, stalkers, ill-wishers, and people you simply don’t want to know much about you—and people-search sites can’t control who accesses your information or for what purpose. In fact, one wouldn’t even need to visit these websites directly—Googling your name is enough as links to your profiles often appear among the top search results.
- Non-public data brokers share even more in-depth information, including inferred interests, estimated income, purchasing habits, demographic details, and more. Though not accessible to the general public, they provide data to marketers, analytics providers, advertisers, and other third parties—leading to unwanted marketing outreach, targeted advertising, profiling, spam, and the broader circulation of personal information between companies and platforms.
How does Onerep come into play?
Onerep scans the covered people-search sites to find the exact pages where your information is exposed, then sends removal requests on your behalf. As brokers tend to re-publish data over time, the service also runs monthly scans to catch new and reappeared profiles and initiate new requests. This comprehensive approach helps keep your personal information private, reducing your exposure in Google search results and the risk of scams, fraud, stalking, harassment, identity theft, and other threats.
For covered non-public data brokers, Onerep sends opt-out requests that help limit how your data is shared across platforms and minimize your overall digital footprint.
On top of that, Onerep’s data breach monitoring feature checks if your email address has been exposed in known data breaches, helping you identify potential privacy risks early and secure your accounts and finances before more serious damage occurs.
