◉Nothing you type is transmitted. There is no endpoint to send it to, no email capture and no database — the tool builds search links on your device, and your ticks live in this browser's local storage, which we cannot read. Clear your browsing data and they are gone. The site runs three advertising tags on every page — Google Ads, the Meta Pixel and Whop's pixel. None can read these fields, and blocking them breaks nothing here. Full detail in the privacy policy.
What you're looking for
When you open each result, ignore the "view full report" button — that's the upsell. Look at the free preview. Most people find, without paying anything:
- Their current street address, often with the house number partly shown and the rest one click away
- Every address they have lived at for the last fifteen to twenty years
- Their age, sometimes their exact date of birth
- A mobile number, occasionally two
- "Possible relatives" — usually parents, siblings, spouse and adult children, by full name and age
- "Possible associates" — old roommates, co-signers, anyone who shared an address
- Property records: what you paid for the house, and when
Run this again with your nickname, your maiden or previous married name, your name with and without a middle initial, and any misspelling you've seen on junk mail. These sites index each variant as a separate record — which is why removing one profile often changes nothing.
What to do with what you found
Every site on that list has an opt-out process. They're legally required to, in a growing number of US states, and under GDPR in the UK and EU. They just make it quiet and tedious.
- Start with the free-tier sites — the ones that showed your address without a paywall. They cause essentially all of the real-world harm, and they rank in Google for your name.
- Use the free opt-out list for the direct removal link for each one.
- Track what you file. Use the removal tracker — site, date filed, confirmed, verified. Without a log, re-listings become a fresh discovery exercise every time.
- Expect to reappear. Brokers refresh from public records quarterly. Here's the mechanism, and the ten-minute monthly routine that handles it.
The Ghost Protocol is the 30-day plan: 70 removal destinations tiered by damage, the search-engine cleanup afterwards, the social settings that keep re-leaking you, and the monthly routine. The full system, $10 once.
Questions
Does this tool search for me?
No, and that distinction matters. It builds search URLs and hands them to you — the searching happens in your browser, on those sites, under your control. Nothing you type is transmitted anywhere, because there is nowhere for it to go. Any tool that genuinely searched on your behalf would have to send your name to a server.
Why don't you just show me the results?
Because doing that would mean querying two dozen data brokers with your name — which is exactly the behaviour this site exists to reduce. It would also mean collecting your name on a server. The trade is one extra click per site, and you keep full control.
Is it safe to click these links?
They go to ordinary search engines and to the brokers' own public sites. Two sensible precautions: use a private/incognito window, and never pay for a report about yourself — it funds the thing you're trying to stop, and everything you need to see is on the free tier.
Are my ticks saved anywhere?
Only in this browser's local storage, on this device. Not on a server. Clear your browsing data, use a different device, or open a private window, and they're gone.
