We Publish What Works. And What Doesn’t.

Directly Verified (141). These are brokers where we’ve run a complete end-to-end auto-removal attempt with a real test identity, watched the broker’s confirmation flow, and confirmed the listing was deleted. Each of these has a plugin in our registry, a signed-off opt-out script, and a recorded test trace.

Indexed Via Search (110). These are brokers we have catalogued in our public Whois dataset from search-engine indexing of their privacy pages, but we have NOT yet completed an end-to-end auto-removal run. Pricing tiers that promise “coverage” against these are explicit about what that means: we will submit a request via the broker’s published opt-out URL, but we cannot guarantee broker compliance or detect re-listings.

Methodology, openly published. How we count a removal as confirmed, when we re-scan, what re-listing means, and how we handle email-confirmation brokers vs webform brokers — all documented here.

What counts as a confirmed removal. A removal moves to the “confirmed” bucket below only when the broker has either (a) returned a deletion confirmation identifier we can persist, or (b) the listing is no longer returned in a follow-up scan. “Pending” means the request was submitted but neither outcome has been observed yet. “Failed” means we attempted the removal and the broker explicitly refused, returned a permanent error, or required a step we could not legally automate (e.g., a phone call). We never count “submitted” as “confirmed.”
