At Onerep, we provide genuine privacy protection without resorting to overblown claims. Here’s how our approach sets us apart:
Focus on what matters
We only target data brokers with public directories—commonly known as people-search sites. These companies publish your personal information on their websites, and that information is further indexed by search engines and AI tools. Removing your data from these sites helps clear your information from the public eye, reducing risks such as identity theft, phishing scams, online harassment, and other potential threats. We focus exclusively on brokers that present a genuine privacy risk, rather than including those that exchange data with businesses, lack public directories, and pose little to no threat to your privacy.
Comprehensive coverage
Our removal list includes over 200 widely visited public people-search sites, collectively attracting more than 500 million visitors each month. We ensure that all major players are included, eliminating up to 95% of your online exposure.
We say “No” to oversharing your data with data brokers
At Onerep, we deliberately avoid adding non-public brokers to our removal list because it's impossible to verify if these companies even have your information. For public directories, however, we perform the opt-out process using only the data already available in your profile on the data broker’s site.
Why do some companies fall short? Many services include data brokers without public catalogs in their removal lists to inflate their removal numbers for marketing purposes. Without confirming whether these companies actually have your data, they send your information to them—risking the enrichment of brokers’ databases with new details. In essence, when you sign up for a privacy service that includes non-public data brokers in its removal list, you are authorizing the service to send your personal details (name, address, email, phone number, date of birth, and more) to numerous, often random companies at scale. This practice can inadvertently increase your exposure rather than reducing it.
Our removal approach
Our system scans the public directories of data brokers, identifies your profiles, and uses the available data to request removal. To communicate with brokers, we use dummy email addresses and phone numbers so your actual contact details remain private. This approach also allows us to manage all the removals for you, sparing you a flood of communication with data brokers. We perform repeated scans to verify that your profile has been removed; when we mark a profile as removed, it means we have confirmed that it no longer appears on the site.
By focusing on the areas that truly impact your privacy, Onerep offers a clear and controlled approach to protecting your personal data online.
