Start Removing Your Data Today
Your name, home address, phone number, and email are being bought and sold every day without your consent. Privacy Lock from Social Catfish is a complete personal data removal service built to remove personal information from internet databases, data broker sites, and people search engines — and keep it gone. Instead of spending hours manually filing opt-out requests one site at a time, Privacy Lock handles data broker removal for you and adds ongoing monitoring so you know the moment your information resurfaces online.
Why You Need Data Broker Removal
Online exposure is more widespread than most people realize. Data breaches keep pushing personal records onto the dark web, and many people have no idea how much of their personal data is being collected and traded online. Data brokers — companies you have never heard of and never gave permission to — quietly collect your name, address, phone number, email, and even details about your relatives, then package and sell that information to marketers, scammers, and anyone willing to pay. Once your data is out there, it spreads across dozens of sites within weeks. That is why proactive privacy protection matters: the sooner you start removing your personal information from the internet, the less of it is available to identity thieves and fraudsters.
How Privacy Lock Works
Privacy Lock follows a simple four-step process that delivers real, ongoing personal data removal — not just a one-time cleanup:
- Scan — We scan people-search and data-broker sites, along with the dark web, to find every place your personal information is exposed.
- Report — You receive a clear report showing exactly where your data appears and what is most at risk.
- Remove — We submit opt-out and removal requests on your behalf, handling the tedious people search removal process for you.
- Monitor — Because brokers constantly relist data, we re-scan continuously, alert you, and re-file removals as listings reappear.
What Privacy Lock Removes
Privacy Lock targets the personal details that put you most at risk: phone numbers, home and past addresses, email addresses, relatives' and associates' names, employment and job history, and social media profiles. We submit removal requests to the people-search and data-broker sites where your information appears, including Spokeo, BeenVerified and WhitePages. Then we keep monitoring those sites and re-file removals when your data comes back. The result is lasting privacy protection for you and your family — without the hours of manual work that manual data broker removal normally requires.

FAQ about Privacy Lock
Is the Privacy Lock scan free?
Yes. Privacy Lock's initial scan — checking over 200 data-broker and people-search sites plus the dark web for your exposed information - is completely free, with no credit card required. You'll see your full exposure report before choosing a plan for ongoing removal and monitoring.
Does Privacy Lock remove my data or only monitor it?
Both. Privacy Lock automatically submits opt-out and removal requests to the data-broker and people-search sites where your information appears, then continuously monitors those sites and the dark web afterward. If your data gets relisted, Privacy Lock detects it and removes the new listing again, rather than just alerting you to it.
What sites and sources does Privacy Lock check?
Privacy Lock scans more than 200 data-broker and people-search sites — including Spokeo, BeenVerified, and WhitePages - along with the dark web, checking for your phone numbers, home and past addresses, email addresses, relatives' names, employment history, and social media profiles.
How is Privacy Lock different from DeleteMe, Incogni or Optery?
Like those services, Privacy Lock automatically submits removal requests to data brokers on your behalf and monitors for relisted data afterward. The difference is it's run directly by Social Catfish, so it sits alongside the identity-verification tools you may already use, rather than requiring a separate account with a different company.
How much does Privacy Lock cost?
Privacy Lock is $14.99 per month on the monthly plan, or $12.50 per month billed as $150 annually — the annual plan is labeled "Recommended" and saves up to 20%. Both plans include the same removal and monitoring coverage.
How fast will I be alerted when a new exposure appears?
Privacy Lock's monitoring runs continuously rather than on a fixed schedule. If your information is relisted on a broker site or turns up on the dark web, you're notified by email or through the mobile app as soon as it's detected, not on a weekly or monthly check-in.
Can I cancel anytime or is there a money-back guarantee?
You can cancel your Privacy Lock subscription anytime from your account settings.
Why does my name appear on Social Catfish, and how do I opt out?
Social Catfish is a people-search service, so it compiles publicly available information the same way data-broker sites do, to help people verify who they're really talking to online. If you'd like your own information removed from Social Catfish's own search results, visit the opt-out page to submit a request.
