Removals

What Happens If A Broker Re-Lists Me?

Brokers re-add records all the time. The whole point of an ongoing service is catching that.

How We Detect Re-Listing

Every broker we've already removed you from gets re-scanned weekly (Plus/Premium) or monthly (Basic). If your record reappears, the row flips from Removed to Re-Listed and you'll see an alert banner on the dashboard.

What We Do Automatically

The moment a re-list is detected, we automatically queue a fresh removal request. Most of the time you don't have to do anything — the broker re-receives the opt-out and the cycle continues.

When Re-Listing Means Something Bigger

If the same broker re-lists you 3+ times within 90 days, that usually means a new data source feeding into them. We mark the broker Re-Listing Cycle and surface it on the dashboard with a "What To Do" link explaining how to find the upstream source (often a public records request you didn't know was indexed).

Will I Get Spammed With Emails?

No — re-listing detection sends one email per occurrence by default, and you can mute the category entirely on the Settings → Notifications page (the "Re-Listing Detected" toggle).

Postal-Mail Brokers

A small number of brokers (LexisNexis, Experian, etc.) only accept postal opt-outs. If they re-list, we'll surface a downloadable letter for you to mail again. We can't auto-mail letters yet — that's on the roadmap.
