Personal Information Removal and Monitoring: Get Off the Internet and Stay Off

Personal information monitoring is the ongoing re-checking of data brokers, people-search sites and search engines for your name, addresses, phone numbers and emails. When your details reappear, IRMA alerts you and we remove them again at no additional cost while you're subscribed.

Yes, if you want it to stay off. Data brokers rebuild profiles from new public records and purchased data, so removed listings often come back. Monitoring catches re-listings early so they can be taken down before they spread or get indexed by Google.

Find every site that publishes your details, submit an opt-out or deletion request to each one, ask Google to drop the pages that are already indexed, then re-check every few weeks because data brokers re-list people when they buy new data. IRMA does all four steps for you for $49 per month and keeps monitoring so your information stays off.

Google can only hide results; the page stays live on the original website. The lasting fix is to get the listing deleted from the source site first, then have Google drop the dead URL. We do both: we remove the data broker listing, then file Google removal and refresh requests so your name search comes back clean.

A data broker is a company that collects personal information from public records, purchase histories, social media and other sources, then sells or publishes it. People-search sites like BeenVerified, Intelius and FastPeopleSearch are the public-facing version: anyone can type in your name and see your address, phone number, relatives and age.

Your full name and past names, current and previous home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, age and date of birth, names of relatives and associates, and the profile pages that tie them together on data broker and people-search sites.

IRMA covers the largest data brokers and people-search sites, including BeenVerified, Intelius, Instant Checkmate, FastPeopleSearch, Radaris, AnyWho, FamilyTreeNow, ClustrMaps and the other sites listed on this page. If you find yourself on a site that isn't listed, send us the link and your account manager will review it.

IRMA costs $49 per month. That includes the initial scan, removal requests to every covered data broker, Google cleanup for removed pages, ongoing monitoring with alerts, re-removal if a site re-lists you, progress reports and a dedicated account manager. There is no contract and you can cancel anytime.

We start sending removal requests as soon as your scan is complete. Most clients start seeing results in the first few weeks, as sites process requests and listings come down. Google usually drops a removed page after it recrawls the URL, and we request that refresh for you.

It can. Data brokers constantly buy new data and rebuild profiles, so a listing you removed months ago can reappear. That's why IRMA keeps scanning after the first round of removals. If a covered site re-lists you while you're subscribed, we remove it again at no additional cost.

Yes. If we can't remove the listings we agree to remove, you get your money back. Re-removals are also included for as long as you're subscribed, and you can cancel anytime.

Yes. Most people-search sites have an opt-out page, Google offers the Results about you tool, and California residents can use the state's DROP platform to send one deletion request to registered data brokers. The tradeoff is time: there are dozens of sites, each with different forms and verification steps, and you have to keep re-checking because listings return.

It helps, but it only hides results in Google Search. The listing stays live on the data broker site, still shows up on Bing and other search engines, and is still sold to anyone who buys the data. Removing the listing at the source is what actually takes your information offline.

DROP (Delete Request and Opt-out Platform) is a free California tool that lets state residents send one deletion request to registered data brokers. It's a good step if you live in California, but it only reaches brokers registered with the state, doesn't clean up Google, and doesn't help residents of other states. IRMA works for clients anywhere in the U.S. and covers search results and monitoring too.

It reduces your exposure. Scammers, spammers, stalkers and identity thieves often start with people-search sites because they hand over a phone number, address, age and relatives in one place. Removing those profiles makes you much harder to find and target. No service can promise to stop every spam call or prevent all fraud.

AI search tools and chatbots pull from web pages that are publicly available, including people-search listings. When those pages are removed and dropped from search indexes, there is less public material for AI answers to draw from. We monitor search results so you can see when your details stop appearing.

Yes. Each person needs their own profile because data brokers list people separately, but we can set up IRMA for family members and coordinate everything through the same account manager. Contact us for family pricing.

Those need a different process than data broker opt-outs, and we handle them as separate services. See our mugshot removal, court records removal, news article removal and Google deindexing pages, or call us for a free confidential review.

We only use the details needed to find and verify your listings, and we use them only to submit removal requests on your behalf. Your case is handled confidentially by your account manager.

No. We prepare and submit the removal requests on your behalf, follow up with sites that don't respond, and report the results to you. You'll only be asked to help if a site requires something only you can provide, such as confirming an email.

Yes. IRMA is month to month with no contract. You can cancel anytime; we recommend staying subscribed so monitoring and free re-removals keep your information off the web.
