Hi there, Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience. We understand it can be frustrating when removals feel slow or when some opt out requests aren’t immediately resolved. It’s important to know that the timeline for removing data from brokers is set by each data broker themselves, and can sometimes take 30 to 90 days or longer, depending on their policies and response times. The size of your digital footprint can also impact how quickly you see tangible results—larger footprints or a big footprint across different companies often mean more steps and a longer process. We’re always working on your behalf to process as many removals as possible, thanks to our automated systems and ongoing optimizations. We genuinely appreciate your patience as we continue improving the service. If you’d ever like to check in on your progress or clarify expectations, we’re happy to help. And if you’re seeking a faster solution, we understand that another service might be a better fit for your needs. Thanks again for trying PrivacyHawk and for taking the time to share your thoughts. Feel free to reach out anytime at [email protected].

Hi Jeff, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t find value in PrivacyHawk. We do want to clarify that most of the data removal work is actually handled automatically by our system—we continuously scan for your personal information on data broker sites and submit removal requests on your behalf. We want to clarify that the only part of our removal process that requires manual action from users is in the Advanced Broker Removal area. This section is completely optional and only applies if we find records flagged with BeenVerified and PeopleConnect brokers. The reason we can’t automate removals for these two brokers is simply because they haven’t been very cooperative and make it difficult for services like ours to participate in automated removals. If you choose to, you can submit an opt-out form directly, or reach out to them by phone or email—nothing more is required on your end. For the rest of the brokers, our data removal system is fully automated. You can always view what’s currently being removed in your Processing tab, and see all successfully removed items (organized by broker) in the Protected tab, making the process simple and transparent for you. While PrivacyHawk can help reduce your online footprint and decrease unwanted solicitations over time, we know it may not lead to immediate reductions in spam, as some information may have already been shared or sold before removal requests are processed. We appreciate your input and are always working to improve the experience for our users. If you’d like to discuss your experience further or need support, please reach out to us at [email protected]. Thank you for giving us a try. The PrivacyHawk Team

Hello Scott, We’re sorry to hear about your experience. There’s no simple way to remove personal data from exposed databases—each data broker has its own process, and removals require continuous effort to keep your information private. That’s why we built PrivacyHawk—to automate and simplify this process for users. Our app scans to show you where your data is exposed and provides tools to help manage it easily within the app. The automation behind this requires significant time and effort from our team, which is why we offer a paid subscription for ongoing removals. We aim to be fully transparent about our pricing and the value of our service. If you have any questions or would like help navigating the app, feel free to reach out to our support team—we’d be happy to assist! Best, The PrivacyHawk Team

Hi Scott, Thanks for your feedback! We’re happy to hear PrivacyHawk is making a difference. Good news—our system automatically rescans every month to find new exposures and resubmit removals, so you’re always protected. Let us know if you ever have questions! Best, The PrivacyHawk Team
