Services de suppression de donnée

Protège contre la/les menaces suivantes :

Aux Etats-Unis, les "sites de recherches de personnes" représentent un immense risque pour la vie privée d'une grande majorité de personne. De nombreuses informations personnelles sensibles comme votre adresse, numéro de téléphone, adresse mail, ou votre âge peuvent facilement être accessibles d'une simple recherche internet. While there is unfortunately no federal regulation in place to protect your data, many of these companies will remove your information from their public databases upon request.

🇺🇸 Note Une grande partie des outils suivants ne sont disponibles qu'aux Etats-Unis. La collecte, le partage, et la revente d'informations personnelles par les courtiers de données (data brokers) est un problème majoritairement spécifique aux Etats-Unis. Dans beaucoup d'autre pays, comme la France, vos données sont protégées par des règlementations comme la RGPD (Espace Européen). Nous soutiendrons toujours les initiatives similaires de protections des données aux Etats-Unis, mais les victimes actuellement peuvent toujours avoir recours à ces solutions "provisoires".

De manière contre-intuitive, la suppression de vos données personnelles sur ces sites nécessite parfois de fournir vos données personnelles à ces entreprises pour qu'elles puissent accéder à votre demande. Malheureusement, dans la plupart des cas, cela vaut la peine de le faire pour minimiser la quantité de données personnelles vous concernant qui sont accessibles au public.

Essayez

Utiliser votre moteur de recherche favori pour voir si vos données sont facilement accessible en cherchant votre nom entre guillemet et votre position approximative. Par exemple, cherchez : "Paul Martin" Paris France. Il est fréquent que vos informations personnelles figurent parmi les premiers résultats. Même si les résultats vous concernant ne sont pas immédiatement disponibles, vous pouvez quand même être concerné. Vous pouvez utiliser la liste de courtiers en données ci-dessous pour vérifier si vos données sont accessibles dans des bases de données publiques.

Désinscriptions manuelles Gratuit

Faire une demande manuelle de suppression de données est la façon la plus simple, la plus rapide, et la plus confidentielle de supprimer vos données des sites de recherche de personne. La tâche peut sembler ardue, parce qu'il y existe des centaines de sites de recherche de personne, mais en réalité ces sites sont gérés par une petite poignée d'entreprise.

Commencez par vérifier que vos données sont disponibles en cherchant sur ces sites puis, dans le cas où vous trouvez vos informations, faites une demande de suppression. Retirer vos données de ces fournisseurs les retire généralement en même temps d'autres sites plus petits.

Un conseil pour la stratégie de suppression manuelle

Evitez de vous épuiser ou de vous laisser déborder par ce processus. A moins d'être en danger immédiat, vous pouvez prendre des pauses et éviter de faire tous les sites en une seule fois.1

Pour cela, vous pouvez par exemple consulter un seul site par semaine, en commençant par le haut de la liste. Continuer le prochain site la semaine suivante, et ainsi de suite. Lorsque vous avez atteint la fin de la liste, vous pouvez recommencer à nouveau depuis le début.

This sets you up on a nice schedule to re-review each website approximately every 3-4 months, and breaks down the process into simple 5 minute tasks you can easily add to your weekly routine.

Once you have opted-out of all of these sites for the first time, it's best to wait a week or two for the requests to propagate to all their sites. Then, you can start to search and opt-out of any remaining sites you find. It can be a good idea to use a web crawler like Google's Results about you tool to help find any data that remains on the internet.

Otherwise, privacy journalist Yael Grauer has compiled an excellent list of data broker sites with direct links to their search tools and opt-out pages. You can take some time to go through each site to determine whether they have your information, and remove it:

Big Ass Data Broker Opt-Out List

If you don't use an automatic scanner to find results about you, consider setting a reminder to re-do this process every 3, 6, or 12 months depending on your risk level and the amount of personal data you have out there. Unfortunately, it is common for your data to re-appear over time or show up on brand-new people search sites even after you opt out.

EasyOptOuts Paid

EasyOptOuts is a $20/year service which will search a number of different data broker sites and automatically submit opt-out requests on your behalf. They will perform the first search and removal process immediately, and then re-run the process every 4 months in case your data shows up on new sites over time.

Some websites supported by EasyOptOuts are publicly searchable. In those cases EasyOptOuts will perform a search and only submit an opt-out request if your personal data is already found, to prevent sending your data in an opt-out request to sites that didn't have it already. However, they do support some sites which are not publicly searchable, and in those cases your data will be sent to them in an opt-out request regardless, in case you are in their private databases.

Our testing indicates that EasyOptOuts provides the best value out of any data removal service we've tested, with a very affordable price and high effectiveness. Independent findings from Consumer Reports also indicate that EasyOptOuts is one of the top performing data removal services.

High priority sites not supported by EasyOptOuts

EasyOptOuts does not cover the following sites we consider to be "high priority," so you should still manually opt-out of:

Google Results About You Free

Google is a data collector themselves

This method will require you to submit your personal information to Google for them to periodically monitor their search results for. Google claims to not use the information provided to this tool to "personalize your experiences" across other Google products.

While Google is not a data broker themselves per se, as they don't sell or share your data with outside parties, some may find this relationship unacceptable. You should always decide whether the benefits of this tool outweigh the drawbacks for your individual situation.

Results about you is a free tool which helps you discover whether your personal contact information, including your home address, phone number, and email address, appears in Google search results. If any personal information is found, you can request its removal.

Open Web Tool

In many cases, a Google search is the first place a potential stalker or abuser would look to find your personal information, which could make using it a worthwhile trade-off. However, this tool does not remove your information from the discovered websites themselves, only their listings on Google. You should still consider manually opting out from the results which are discovered, or using another service which automatically opts you out from those sites directly.

You can add up to 3 addresses, 3 phone numbers, and 3 email addresses to your Google account to monitor for. The service is only available in select markets (initially the US and UK) to users over 18.

When results are found, they will be available for review in this web tool. You can also optionally receive an email notification delivered to the account's Gmail address that lets you know when new results are found. You will then be able to click Request to remove on each discovered listing, and Google will review the request.

In our testing, this tool worked to reliably remove people search sites from Google search results, but was not effective against websites that showed corporate filing information, even if you used your personal address to register a company, nor was it effective against social media profiles.

Critères

Please note we are not affiliated with any of the projects we recommend. In addition to our standard criteria, we have developed a clear set of requirements to allow us to provide objective recommendations. We suggest you familiarize yourself with this list before choosing a data removal service, and conduct your own research to ensure it's the right choice for you.

Our picks for removal services are primarily based on independent professional testing from third-parties as noted in the sections above, our own internal testing, and aggregated reviews from our community.

  • Must not be a white labeled service or reseller of another provider.
  • Must not be affiliated with the data broker industry or purchase advertising on people search sites.
  • Must only use your personal data for the purposes of opting you out of data broker databases and people search sites.

  1. If you are immediately threatened by stalkers or other threats, you should strongly consider an automated tool like EasyOptOuts, at least for the initial "purge." When things are more manageable in the future you can come back to the manual process. Of course, in a dangerous situation your first priority should always be to seek professional help from police or others before tackling it on your own. ↩
