The public pricing page sells personal plans for the US, Canada, Australia and the UK. DeleteMe's help center also lists six EU countries, Brazil and Singapore under international plans without a public price, and the EU coverage is small: a few dozen sites, mostly business directories.

US residents only. EasyOptOuts claims 200+ sites: its list names 141 sites it opts you out of directly and 74 more that it says rely on or redirect to covered brokers. Sites run by PeopleConnect, such as TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate and Intelius, are not covered.

Standard plans get four privacy reports a year, Premium six. Reports and the dashboard show a status per site, such as removal in progress or removed; DeleteMe says it checks a listing is gone before marking it removed. The sample report contains no screenshots.

After each round, an email lists the sites where your record was found and an opt-out request was filed. No screenshots.

The policy says the data you enter for removal goes to data brokers only to request removal and is stored only in the US. Contact details are used to market DeleteMe, with an opt-out, and other account data can go to business partners and corporate affiliates. Customer data can be transferred in a merger or sale of the company.

The privacy policy says your data is shared with no one except to opt you out of supported sites, or when the law requires it. What you enter is typed into broker sites, which then handle it under their own policies.
