YourControl is a Chrome extension that provides detailed guidance on managing your personal information on non-public data brokers.
As a service dedicated to transparency and security, we intentionally exclude data brokers without publicly accessible directories from our removal service. Since these brokers don’t maintain open catalogs, we cannot scan them to verify whether they hold your personal information or confirm its deletion after an opt-out request.
Additionally, removal from non-public data brokers requires submitting your personal details so they can locate and suppress the correct records in their databases. Sending your data “for removal” without prior verification may inadvertently expose it to sites that didn’t previously have it, potentially enriching their directories.
We oppose practices that could compromise our customers’ privacy and, instead, focus on websites with public data brokers AKA people-search sites.
Bridging the gap with YourControl
On the other hand, we recognize that some individuals may still want to remove their information from non-public brokers as well. To help them determine which to tackle first and assess the risks and options of opting out, we’ve created YourControl. The extension offers clear, step-by-step instructions for managing your data on 30+ major data brokers, including Equifax, Experian, and Acxiom.
YourControl features a split-screen interface, allowing users to view instructions while completing opt-out requests simultaneously, reducing the need to switch between tabs. The tool does not collect, store, or transmit user data—ensuring that all personal information remains under the user’s control.
By empowering individuals with the knowledge to handle opt-out requests independently, YourControl helps users take a proactive approach to their online privacy while minimizing risks associated with removal from non-public data brokers.
