## EasyOptOuts <small>Paid</small>

**EasyOptOuts** is a $20/year service which will search a number of different data broker sites and automatically submit opt-out requests on your behalf. They will perform the first search and removal process immediately, and then re-run the process every 4 months in case your data shows up on new sites over time.

Some websites supported by EasyOptOuts are publicly searchable. In those cases EasyOptOuts will perform a search and only submit an opt-out request if your personal data is already found, to prevent sending your data in an opt-out request to sites that didn't have it already. However, they do support some sites which are not publicly searchable, and in those cases your data will be sent to them in an opt-out request regardless, in case you are in their private databases.
Our [testing](https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/02/03/easyoptouts-review) indicates that EasyOptOuts provides the best value out of any data removal service we've tested, with a very affordable price and high effectiveness. Independent [findings from Consumer Reports](https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/consumer-reports-evaluating-people-search-site-removal-services/19948) also indicate that EasyOptOuts is one of the top performing data removal services.

> While Google is not a data broker themselves *per se*, as they don't sell or share your data with outside parties, some may find this relationship unacceptable. You should always decide whether the benefits of this tool outweigh the drawbacks for your individual situation.

**Results about you** is a free tool which helps you discover whether your personal contact information, including your home address, phone number, and email address, appears in Google search results. If any personal information is found, you can request its removal.

Google publishes [help documentation](https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/12719076) for this tool.
In many cases, a Google search is the first place a potential stalker or abuser would look to find your personal information, which could make using it a worthwhile trade-off. However, this tool does not remove your information from the discovered websites themselves, only their listings on Google. You should still consider manually opting out from the results which are discovered, or using another service which automatically opts you out from those sites directly.
