Broker knowledge base

1,000+ data broker profiles with evidence boundaries

Each profile records the provider route, request workflow, source-check date, identity-verification boundary, registry context when matched, and evidence to keep. Route reachability is not acceptance, delivery, deletion, or a promise that data will not reappear.

What makes OfflistMe different

A self-serve privacy workflow, with the evidence left visible

OfflistMe prepares broker-specific drafts and routes in the browser. You review the details, send or submit the request yourself, save any response, and follow up. That model means no OfflistMe account is required, no government ID is uploaded to OfflistMe, paid plans are one-time rather than recurring subscriptions, and the same paid access can be used by family and friends without an extra platform charge.

No account

Start without creating an OfflistMe account.

No ID upload to OfflistMe

If a broker asks for verification, you decide directly with that provider.

No recurring subscription

Paid access is designed around a one-time pass, not automatic renewal.

Family-friendly access

Share the same paid access with family and friends without an extra platform charge.

These are workflow and pricing distinctions, not a promise that a broker will accept, process, or complete a request. The person making the request remains responsible for reviewing and sending it.

Evidence completeness, precisely stated

All 1043 records have an explicit field state

The captured snapshot assesses 258 tracked fields per record. That gives every record a reviewable known, not-recorded, or unknown state; it does not claim every field is known or that every source was searched.

How to read these labels: a catalog route is the route currently attached to a broker record; a provider-source URL is a first-party page observed for context but not automatically promoted as the submission route; a failed observation is retained and queued for recheck; none of these states proves a request was sent, accepted, completed, or not republished.

Evidence snapshot as of 2026-10-23. Source and route dates are shown on each broker profile; the knowledge base is refreshed on a rolling evidence cadence.

What “source-backed” means here

OfflistMe connects official registries, provider privacy pages, request forms, published contacts, and bounded route observations. A canonical route observation is a positive read-only result for the catalog route. A provider-source URL observation confirms only that a provider-published page was observed; it is not promoted as a submission route until its semantics are reviewed. A failed observation may reflect the observation environment and remains queued for recheck. None of these signals proves that a provider accepted a request, removed a profile, or will not republish information. Users review, submit, save confirmation, verify, and follow up themselves.

Knowledge base FAQ

How many data broker profiles are in the OfflistMe knowledge base?

The current captured catalog contains 1,043 broker profiles. 1011 pass the catalog provenance gate and 1010 pass the bounded evidence-ready gate; 1026 still have open field review. 817 have matched government-registry context, and the coverage dossier contains 243,901 evidence facts. These figures describe documented catalog evidence, not completed removals.

Are all 1,043 broker records fully verified?

No—not fully. All 1010 captured records pass OfflistMe's bounded provenance and route-evidence gate, and explicit approval is required for all 1043. All 1043 records have an explicit state for each of the 258 tracked fields in the captured snapshot, but 17 enrichment field reviews are complete and 1026 remain open.

What does source-backed mean on an OfflistMe broker profile?

A source-backed profile connects provider-published routes, official registry records, published privacy contacts, workflow evidence, or bounded read-only observations to a broker record. A reachable route does not prove request acceptance, delivery, deletion, monitoring, or non-republication.

Does a route check prove that a data broker removed my information?

No. A route check only records what the URL or email-domain observation showed at the stated time. Users must review, send or submit, save confirmation, re-check the source listing, and follow up themselves.

What is the difference between a canonical route observation and a provider-source URL observation?

A canonical route observation is a positive read-only result for the catalog route. The knowledge base now records 482 read-only semantic dispositions for provider-source URLs, but does not promote any page as a submission route until route semantics and entity identity are reviewed. Failed observations remain queued for recheck.
