Where DeleteMe is genuinely strong
- • Longest track record in the category (since 2010s)
- • Human-reviewed opt-out quality
- • Mature brand with broad name recognition
The gaps we fill
- • 2024 security incident: attacker used support tooling to query customer account data - the privacy company became the leak
- • Priced per person - households multiply the cost
- • No published identity-resolution: name variants are removed, but nobody determines WHICH records are actually yours before removing
Side by side
| DeleteMe | QuietName | |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | Scans brokers for the name/emails you provide | Investigates: finds your email cross-links, username accounts, and household bridges you never told us about |
| Namesakes | Removes name-matching records - risk of removing someone else's data (or missing yours) | Identity resolution first: we prove which records are yours (incl. the father/son same-name merge problem) |
| Proof | Removal status in your dashboard | A written dossier + quarterly before/after PDF report you can read and keep |
| Household | Per-person pricing | One household tier: 2 adults + children, maiden-name bridges included |
Choose DeleteMe if…
You want the incumbent, single-name coverage, and a set-and-forget subscription - and you accept per-person pricing.
The step none of them take: identity resolution.
Removal tools delete what matches your name. If someone with your name is more famous than you, their records pollute your report - and yours hide behind theirs. We resolve who is who first, then remove, then prove it quarterly in writing.
