The data broker industry is a scam. We built the antidote.


"There are companies that know your home address, your children's names, your salary, and what time you leave for work. You never gave them permission. They have no customer service line. They're not breaking any laws. And until now, most people didn't even know they existed."

4,000+ Data brokers operating in the US — most with no federal regulation, no oversight, and no accountability
$200B Annual revenue from selling personal data — a quarter-trillion-dollar industry you never consented to fund
240M+ Americans with active broker profiles — updated weekly from public records, app data, and purchase histories

Data brokers are a $200 billion industry built on a simple grift: scrape everything about you — public records, app data, loyalty programs, purchase histories — compile it into a dossier, and sell it to anyone who asks. No consent required. No notification given.

A typical broker profile includes your full name, current and past addresses, phone numbers, email, estimated income, property records, relatives, and political affiliation. Buyers include marketers, landlords, debt collectors, private investigators, ex-partners, and strangers with a credit card. The price per record? Less than a dollar.

Here's the part that should make you angry: most brokers technically offer an opt-out process. But those processes are deliberately buried, spread across dozens of different websites, and require repeating every 30–90 days because brokers re-list you automatically. The friction isn't a bug. It's the business model.


TraceKill queries 507 major data brokers in real time. Not cached results. Not estimates. We search the same databases that paying customers use — and show you exactly what each broker is selling about you, right now.

Every exposure gets scored by severity: a broker listing your home address, relatives, and income is a bigger threat than one with just your name. Then we file the opt-out paperwork — the exact forms, the exact URLs, the exact steps each broker requires to take your profile down.

The scan is free. Always will be. Privacy shouldn't be a luxury product, and you shouldn't have to pay just to learn who's profiting from your life.

Free scan — no account required

60 seconds. 507 brokers. Real-time results. Name, address, phone, relatives, income — we show you everything they have on file. Then we help you make it disappear.
