DeleteMe is a privacy technology company founded in 2010 that removes personal information from data brokers, people-search sites and other online sources, giving individuals and organisations control over their digital identity. Its technical work centres on privacy automation: continuous web scanning to detect exposed personal data, automated removal and opt-out workflows across data broker sites, ongoing re-monitoring as data reappears, and structured privacy reporting for customers. The flagship DeleteMe service combines these automated systems with expert human support.
The company operates at considerable scale. It has completed over 100 million removals since 2010 and monitors hundreds of data broker sites. Its customers range from individuals and families to small businesses and large corporations; 30% of the Fortune 100 use the service. Areas of work span consumer privacy and cybersecurity, identity theft protection, small business privacy and enterprise privacy programmes.
The engineering focus is on systems that stay effective over time rather than performing one-off deletions - detecting, removing and re-removing personal data as it resurfaces across the web. DeleteMe describes its mission as giving everyone control over their digital identity.
