How long does personal data removal take?

Initial removal requests are submitted within the first week. Most brokers process removals within 7 to 45 days. You will see significant reduction within 30 days, with the majority removed within 90 days. Ongoing monitoring is essential as data brokers continually re-acquire data.

Why does my client's information keep reappearing after removal?

Data brokers source information from public records, commercial data providers, and other brokers. When new records are filed or brokers exchange data, your client's information is re-indexed. This is why continuous monitoring and re-removal is necessary.

Can you remove information from Google search results?

We focus on removing source data from broker sites. Once the source listing is removed, the Google search result drops from the index during the next crawl cycle. For persistent cached results, we submit removal requests to Google directly.

Do you cover family members?

Yes. Protecting only the principal while leaving family member listings in place is ineffective. Our service extends to all family members and key staff members whose data exposure creates risk for the principal.

How does PTG differ from consumer services like DeleteMe?

PTG provides managed removal as part of a comprehensive VIP security program including dark web monitoring, account takeover protection, incident response, and forensic investigation. We cover more brokers, provide continuous monitoring, handle legal escalations, and extend coverage to family and staff.

Is my client's information safe with PTG during the removal process?

All client information is handled under NDA and stored in encrypted, access-controlled systems. We use the minimum information necessary for each broker's specific opt-out process.

Can you remove information from public government records?

Government records are public by law and cannot be removed at the source. However, we remove them from data brokers that republish them. We also advise on legal structures like trusts or LLCs to prevent future filings from linking to your client's name.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from DeleteMe or Incogni?

Consumer tools automate basic opt-out forms. We handle escalated removals, legal takedowns, family member protection, and ongoing re-listing prevention that automated tools miss entirely.

Can removed data come back?

Yes. Data brokers constantly acquire new datasets. Our AI monitoring catches re-publications within hours and initiates removal immediately. This is why ongoing monitoring is essential.

Do you remove family member data too?

Yes. A principal's address is often exposed through a spouse's or child's listing. Our family office program covers the entire household.

How does data removal support anti-doxxing?

Data removal eliminates the source material that doxxers rely on. Combined with our anti-doxxing protection, it makes personal information unavailable before a doxxing campaign can begin.

How long does initial removal take?

Initial removal requests are submitted within the first week. Most brokers process removals within 30-60 days. Escalated and legal removals may take longer for resistant sources.
