Discovery first. Removal path second. Proof last.
Hide My Data starts with the exposure report so customers can see what is exposed, what can be handled through managed broker removal, and what needs a custom quote.
The report decides which path fits.
Exposure severity
Address, phone, relatives, and identity details create higher urgency than low-risk profile fragments.
Source ownership
The path depends on who controls the page, profile, search result, or broker listing.
Proof needs
Some sources require identity, address, ownership, or authorization proof before they act.
Realistic outcome
Removal, correction, suppression, deindexing, and blocker documentation are different outcomes.
A clear path makes each next step understandable.
Request an exposure report
Send basic lookup details so likely people-search, broker, and search-result exposure can be reviewed.
Review prioritized findings
The report groups findings by risk and separates repeatable broker removals from sources that need custom review.
Start the right removal path
Managed removal handles repeatable broker sources. A custom quote handles a specific listing, result, image, or page.
Track status and proof
Completed work includes removal notes, source responses, blockers, or follow-up status where available.
Useful privacy work is not always full deletion.
Removal
The source removes the page or the targeted personal information.
Suppression
The source reduces visibility or keeps the information from appearing in normal lookup flows.
Correction
Wrong information is challenged through the source's process.
Deindexing
Search visibility is addressed when the original source cannot be removed directly.
Public records, lawful journalism, platform policies, and proof requirements can affect the result.
The report and quote identify limits before payment so the removal path stays realistic.
