FAQ.

DataSeal is an automatic bulk data opt-out service, removing your information from the largest people search sites and data brokers across the web.

DataSeal works by submitting opt-out requests on a user's behalf to all of the sites listed on our "Sites We Cover" page. Once we submit the opt-out requests, we continuously monitor these sites and report the opt-out progress back to our users in the DataSeal user dashboard.

No, DataSeal does not require any form of ID. In general, DataSeal will never ask for information other than some basic identifying data such as name, email, age, and address. We only ask for this information to locate your leaked information online.

In our dashboard, you will see every website that has contained or currently contains your personal information. Each website has a designation regarding the opt out status — "Found", "Pending", "Removed", "Verified".
‍
Found – We have confirmed that your information is appearing on said site.
Pending – We completed the opt out process and are waiting for the website to remove your data.
Removed – Your data has been removed from the website.
Verified – One of our team members has manually confirmed that your data is no longer present on the website.

Google maintains a list of links separate from the websites publishing your data. It can take Google several days to recrawl the website to discover the information that was once listed is no longer available and remove the page from their results. Our team makes every effort to contact Google in prolonged cases to expedite the recrawl process and request deletion.
