Find out which data brokers likely have your information
Region, common yes/no questions and popular services from a public breach index are preselected, so you can see a report right away, then tailor it. You get a likelihood estimate for six broker categories and a shortlist of providers to check first, without sharing your name, email or address.
Quick answer: can you see which data brokers have your information?
There is no single lookup that lists every data broker holding your information. People-search sites show profiles publicly, so you can search them by name; marketing, risk and location brokers usually reveal what they hold only through an access request where a privacy law gives you that right. This free check estimates which broker categories and providers are most relevant to you, without asking for your name, email or address, so you know where to look first. It does not search a broker database or confirm a listing.

Which services have you used?
Popular services are preselected so you can see a report right away. Swap in the services you have actually used from the public breach index. Their reported data classes determine which broker categories and data brokers are relevant; this does not check account membership or prove a broker has your data.
Breach data source: Have I Been Pwned. The index reports data classes associated with listed breaches; it is not an account lookup.

How to find out which data brokers have your information
Brokers do not publish a shared index, so the reliable method combines a few checks. Use the estimate to choose where to start, then confirm with the sources that can actually show a record. Looking for a list of data broker sites instead? Browse the data broker directory.
Estimate which broker categories apply to you
Run the free check on this page. It weighs your region, optional yes/no context questions and the services you recognize from a public breach index, then lists the broker categories and providers worth checking first. It does not look up your records.
Start the checkSearch the people-search sites for your name
People-search sites publish profiles openly, so searching your name with your city or state shows whether a listing appears. Start with the providers at the top of your shortlist and confirm a listing is really you before requesting removal.
People-search opt-out guideAsk a broker what it holds about you
Marketing, risk and location brokers rarely publish profiles. Where a privacy law gives you an access right, such as the CCPA right to know in California or GDPR Article 15 in the EU and UK, you can request a copy. Under the CCPA a covered business generally responds within 45 calendar days; under the GDPR, within one month.
CCPA rights explainedCheck the state data-broker registries
California, Oregon, Texas and Vermont publish registries of companies registered as data brokers. A registry entry tells you who operates as a broker and how to reach them, not whether that broker holds your data.
State registry crosswalkCalifornia residents: use DROP
California’s Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP) lets a resident send one verifiable deletion request directed to data brokers covered by the Delete Act. The CPPA says brokers must begin processing DROP requests on August 1, 2026; exceptions and matching rules apply.

Google’s Results about you tool can help eligible users find Search results that show their phone number, home address or email, and request removal from Search. Removing a result from Google does not remove the page on the broker’s own site.
