First see what's out there, then take it down. Search yourself and get a personalized removal checklist.
Data brokers republish your address, phone, and relatives across hundreds of sites — and each one has its own opt-out process. Start by seeing your actual exposure: search yourself above and Recordwell maps where your information appears. You'll get a prioritized checklist of opt-out links for the major brokers. And yes — this includes opting out of Recordwell itself, which we honor without friction.
Data brokers buy public records — property deeds, voter rolls, court filings — merge them with commercial data, and republish the bundle as searchable profiles. None of it required your consent because each piece was individually public; the harm is in the aggregation. The good news: aggregators are legally required (in a growing list of states) to delete on request.
Map first, delete second. Search yourself above to see where you're actually exposed — then hit the major brokers whose listings feed the smaller mirrors. Our checklist orders them by impact. Expect the first pass to take an evening and cover ~80% of your visible exposure.
Mostly, with maintenance. Brokers re-ingest fresh public records, so listings can regenerate after a move, a purchase, or any new filing. Re-check quarterly — five minutes now that you know your map. California residents get extra leverage: the Delete Act's one-request deletion applies to all registered brokers.

The coverage you expect, with the honesty most people-search sites don't offer.
We read the raw signals and write a clear, plain-language summary — not an overwhelming list.
Breach and personal details are unlocked only after you verify the email is yours.
Transparent pricing and one-click cancel. No dark-pattern traps.
217 county assessor and appraisal databases — who owns what, from the office that recorded it. Most people-search products carry none of this.
Not a resold broker feed: county property rolls, state licence boards, federal courts and sanctions lists, loaded from the agencies themselves. See the list.
Found your own data? We show you how to get it taken down.
We're new — so instead of invented reviews, here's exactly what Recordwell does, and what it won't do.
Real sources, clearly labeled. Every result shows where it came from, and we separate confirmed records from other people who share the name — no pretending a guess is a match.
You stay in control. Free during beta, no card required, sensitive data unlocked only after you verify it's yours — and a one-click way to remove your own information.
Not a background-check service. Recordwell is not a Consumer Reporting Agency, so results may not be used for hiring, tenant, credit, or other FCRA-covered decisions.
A real picture of someone isn't on page one of a search engine — it's scattered across social profiles, public records, news and breach data. Most are slow, paywalled, or impossible to cross-reference by hand.
Public profiles and usernames matched across platforms into one identity.
Courts, licenses, corporate filings, donations and sanctions screening.
Search results, news mentions and public web references, summarized.
Whether an email shows up in known data breaches and what was exposed.
We read the raw signals and write one clear report — not a data dump.
Sensitive items link back to official first-sources so you can confirm.
Doing this by hand means juggling many tools and hours of cross-referencing — and you'd still miss what AI connects in minutes.
We name every one. Most people-search sites advertise “40+ verified sources” and never say which — because they resell one broker's database. We load the official files ourselves, from the agencies that publish them.
County assessor and appraisal rolls: who owns what, from the offices that record it. Almost none of our competitors carry property data at all.
Nurses, doctors, contractors, lawyers, cosmetologists, childcare workers — state boards across 55 states and territories, loaded from the boards' own files.
CourtListener dockets, SEC EDGAR, FEC donations and employers, FBI Wanted, OpenSanctions, SAM.gov exclusions, LEIE, CMS Open Payments, USASpending awards.
Corporate registries, lobbyist filings and public-employee salary disclosures — 15 payroll datasets plus 36 finance and business sources.
GitHub, GitLab, Reddit, Keybase, Mastodon, Dev.to, Docker Hub, Bitbucket, npm, ORCID, OpenAlex and more.
GDELT global news, Wikipedia, Wikidata, Gravatar, email reputation, and Have I Been Pwned — we report how many breaches an address appears in, never what was in them.
Yes. Search yourself and follow the opt-out link in the report, or contact us — removals are honored without friction.
Most brokers process opt-outs in days to weeks; your checklist tracks the ones that matter most first.
It can, as brokers re-ingest public records. Re-check yourself every few months — it's free.
