A privacy service keeps your personal data, such as your name, address, and phone number, off the web. In the absence of a privacy service, your personal information could be traced by strangers or businesses and misused. This may cause inconveniences like receiving unwanted calls, spam messages, or even somebody posing as you. To help with it, DeleteMe can find your data on sites and delete it so that it cannot be found or utilized by anyone. They check regularly to make sure it stays gone. This keeps your life more private and safe. DeleteMe makes it easier for people to protect themselves and feel more secure when using the internet.
About DeleteMe
Abine, Inc. is the company behind DeleteMe. DeleteMe is committed to constantly improving as digital tracking technology evolves, helping people take control of their online presence. In 2010, Rob Shavell, Eugene Kuznetsov, and Andrew Sudbury founded DeleteMe after seeing how challenging it was to handle privacy concerns in the linked and digital world of today. By eliminating personal information from internet sources, they enable people and organizations to recover their privacy.
The DeleteMe team's passion for privacy and dedication to making it easy for both individual and corporate clients to lower their risk of identity theft, credit card fraud, robocalls, spam, stalking, cybersecurity threats, harassment of executives and employees, and unsolicited communications in general are what motivate the company.
How DeleteMe Solves Real-World Privacy Challenges
By Challenge
Cybersecurity Risks
Proactive cybersecurity teams collaborate with DeleteMe because they have direct experience with the effective use of employee personal information in complex cyberattacks that have been made public by data brokers and other third-party websites. Rather than being on your servers, personally identifiable information that is already accessible on the public internet is the most susceptible to abuse by malicious bad actors. Even the most security-conscious employees are unable to recognize phishing emails created by threat actors using employee personal information they have obtained online. Through DeleteMe's online monitoring and removal of employee PII, businesses can combat the leading source of data breaches.
Executive Threats
DeleteMe is essential for corporate and physical security teams to protect customers and high-profile, vulnerable staff. These clients have seen firsthand how people have been physically harmed, intimidated, harassed, and manipulated by the use of personal information that is readily available online. Bad actors have all they need to dox, intimidate, or harass executives and their families when their personal information is publicly accessible. Cybercriminals, activists, and unhappy workers are determined to make their views heard at all costs, driven by poor earnings reports, news coverage, geopolitical and environmental crises, contentious product announcements, IPO/M&A events, and mass layoffs. DeleteMe enables businesses to shield their C-suite from these criminals by eliminating executive PII from the internet.
By Industry
Financial Services
Phishing accounts for 49% of attacks targeting financial institutions. DeleteMe, which has its headquarters in the US, takes pride in processing and keeping data on US-based servers and employing proprietary technology. More than 50 clients in the financial services sector trust Delete, which is aware that established businesses require a reliable partner in order to remove personal data. Rapid incident response and tailored removal requests are only two of the unmatched services and assistance provided by their staff of privacy advisors. They go above and beyond to give you simple guidelines that will ensure the most complete removal of PII from the internet, even if they are unable to remove even a single instance.
Government
Compared to private sector employees, public sector employees have 50% more PII that can be found online on average. To enable public employees to concentrate on their work rather than on their privacy, government organizations require a reliable privacy partner. In order to find new or republished instances of employee personal information, such as home addresses, personal phone numbers, and family details, DeleteMe continuously searches the public internet. To continuously eliminate personally identifiable information (PII) from the public internet, their committed staff uses proprietary technology. Targeted data removal aids in the victory against physical and cyber threats that use publicly accessible personal information to harm government workers, such as doxing, phishing, and personal harassment.
Healthcare
Identity fraud costs $43 billion per year. Identity theft of medical professionals is one of the most overlooked and quietly occurring crimes. Doctors, nurses, and their employers are protected from information exposure by DeleteMe. Nobody should have to be concerned about being discovered by an angry patient or that a customized phishing email could result in a significant data breach. The information eradication service from DeleteMe gives diligent healthcare workers peace of mind. DeleteMe offers significant advantages to busy medical professionals. DeleteMe prioritizes genuine hazards over entirely automated solutions. By ensuring that data can be accessible by third parties before erasure, their solution reduces "privacy fatigue" and removes false exposure notifications.
