Frequently Asked Questions
How long does data removal take?
Some websites take minutes, while others take months. Typically, within a week, it becomes harder to find your personal information online. In a month, it gets very hard, and in three months, it’s nearly impossible to locate your personal and location information on data broker websites. We use an automated service to send out hundreds of removal requests within minutes to data brokers, public records, and other websites. The speed of removal depends on each website. Based in California, where the strictest data protection laws in the U.S. apply, we can often expedite the process beyond average depending on your situation.
I want to be a public figure and advocate, but also want to be safe. Is this possible?
Yes, you don’t have to sacrifice privacy to advocate for your profession, values, or human rights. During our consultation, we will review your best options for Personally Identifiable Information, data privacy, obfuscation, and more. Effective advocates often gain recognition. While we are not a PR or public image firm, we will help you decide which information to make or keep public and which to keep private. We will provide strategies to keep your private information secure and support you along the way.
Can you guarantee my safety or that all my data is removed?
There is no such thing as 100% security. We would happliy be out of business if that were the case. We use a combination of privacy advocates, automated tools, and experts to give you strategies and take tangible steps to dramatically reduce the availability of your sensitive information to a malicious person or group. Yet, there always remain illegal or expensive ways to track personal information beyond public databases that we focus on. We don’t guarantee anything, but we do make it substantially harder to find you and your personal information.
What should I do if I am already being harassed or doxxed?
If you are currently facing harassment or doxxing, our team will act quickly to assess the situation and implement strategies to limit further exposure and mitigate risks. We’ll guide you step-by-step to regain control of your safety.
What professions do you support?
We review each submission on a case-by-case basis and reserve the right to refuse any applicant. With that said, the most common professions we support with the P4 program include:
- Doctors
- Healthcare Providers (Other than Doctors)
- Teachers
- Election Workers
- Journalists
We do support additional individuals and professions who have been targeted on a case-by-case basis.
What would disqualify me from the P4 program?
Individuals who make inflammatory comments, promote hate or bigotry, or intentionally marginalize others are typically not approved for the P4 program. We differentiate between advocating professionals and professional advocates. Advocating professionals, who are practicing in their field and additionally advocate for improvements, are typically approved. Professional advocates, who focus solely on advocacy and understand the public scrutiny involved, are typically not.
P4 is a pro-bono service offered by PRM with the goal of keeping professionals safe from harassment and harm. Each submission is reviewed case by case, ensuring we can help you focus on your work without worrying about politics, polarization, harassment, or harm.
Can you do this for my entire business / organization?
