Data Removal by Country

Every country has its own legal framework for deleting personal data and its own public-record sources that feed people-search sites. These guides cover your rights, the data brokers and registries that hold your information, and the exact suppression steps that work in each country.

Six countries (UK under UK GDPR, Canada under PIPEDA, Australia under the Privacy Act 1988, France under GDPR + CNIL, Germany under GDPR + BDSG, Netherlands under GDPR + UAVG) each sit on top of a shared layer of US-based people-search brokers that local privacy law does not reach.
Your national privacy law governs data held locally, but a layer of US people-search brokers holds it regardless of where you live, reached by a separate US opt-out rather than your local regulator.
