Trezor confirmed on 13 August that a breach at one of its shipping providers exposed the names, shipping addresses, email addresses and phone numbers of 11,742 customers, with a further 1,947 having some personal data compromised. Affected customers were in the US, UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy and Portugal. Bloomberg No wallets were compromised. No seed phrases. No private keys. And that's precisely the problem.

What leaked is arguably the most dangerous dataset in crypto: a verified list of people who own a hardware wallet, complete with the address it was delivered to. Two harmless facts — where someone lives, and what they bought — become something else entirely when joined together. CryptoTicker

One-time removal isn't removal. Brokers repopulate from upstream sources, so a cleared listing reappears weeks later.

Every bump gets caught by a weekly re-scan and refiled — until it stays gone.

Day 1: 38 listings found, score 34. Day 90: 35 removed, score 91, three still being filed.

Some sites clear in weeks. The stubborn ones take longer — we keep going. Illustrative sample account.

Every plan covers 550+ data broker sites. Advanced goes after the long tail — 5,000+ additional sites across 150+ countries.

Broker sites are where removal starts, not where it ends.

SIM-swap attempts. "Your bank" calling. Endless smishing.

All three start with a number someone bought. Take it off the lists and the attack surface shrinks.

Most people learn they've been breached months after the fact — usually when something has already gone wrong.

Real-time dark web monitoring, on every plan, tells you while it still matters.

Nothing that asks for your email is free. It's a lead-gen form with Wi-Fi attached, and that address gets appended to a profile you already have.

Use an alias on signup forms and keep your real inbox quiet.

DIY: 550+ sites, each with its own maze. Fax a form. Mail a copy of your ID. Create an account to delete an account. Verify by postcard. Then redo it when they relist you.

Or: one free scan, and we handle every form.

Day 1 — the free scan finds your listings.
Day 2 — removal requests go out on your behalf.
Every week after — re-scan, refile, repeat.

First results in weeks. Stubborn sites up to 90 days, and we keep filing.

"Grandpa, it's me, I need help."

They knew the name because "relatives" is a listed field on people-search sites. Removing that field is one of the most effective things you can do for an older parent.

Real recruiters don't text strangers about $40/hr with no experience needed.

They bought your number from a broker list. We take it off - so the next "Emma" never finds you.

You changed the locks. The old address is still online, attached to your name, on sites you never signed up to.

Data removal is safety, not just privacy. We clear the trail behind you.

Every signup, every game, every quiz feeds a profile — and it starts long before adulthood. By the time they turn 18 there's already a file.

Add your kids to the family plan and we clear it.

Most fitness apps default to public. A month of runs draws a clear map, and the point they all converge on is your front door.

Set it to private, start tracking a block away, and get your address off broker sites.

Property records are open by law. Within days of completion, brokers scrape the sale and your new address is indexed on sites you've never heard of.

Congratulations — and here's the part nobody mentions at the handover.

You meet the public every day. Patients, parents, clients — including the ones you'd rather couldn't find where you sleep.

Your home address shouldn't be one search away.

Removal isn't a one-off. Brokers relist people constantly, and most services only check once a month.

We re-scan weekly — so a relisting gets caught in days rather than months, and refiled automatically.
