One-Time Data Removal

Pay once. Remove your data from 300+ brokers. Walk away. No subscription, no account, no auto-renewal. Here's how it works and why no one else offers it.

TL;DR

Most major data-removal services (DeleteMe, Incogni, Optery, OneRep, Aura, Kanary, PrivacyBee) are subscriptions. EasyOptOuts charges $19.99/year flat. OfflistMe charges once, $7 for a single run, $40 for 3-month access, $90 for full-year access, and never bills you again. We exist because every US resident already has the legal right to opt out for free under CCPA; privacy shouldn't need to be a monthly bill.

Why No One Else Offers One-Time Payment

Subscription data removal services don't offer a one-time option because their economics depend on recurring revenue, not because one-time removal doesn't work. Here's the honest breakdown:

Data re-appears, but slower than you think

Brokers typically re-list records within 3–9 months as new public-record feeds are ingested. CCPA §1798.135 prohibits re-selling opted-out data for 12 months without fresh consent, but brokers can still re-collect from fresh public-record sources. A periodic re-run handles this; a subscription is not strictly required.

Recurring revenue is worth more to a vendor

Subscription pricing ($96–$180/year) reflects the lifetime-value math of SaaS, not the marginal cost of sending an opt-out email. OfflistMe's pricing reflects the cost of maintaining the broker database and the tool, not the LTV multiplier.

Subscription = identity management

Services that act as your authorized agent must maintain your ID, address, and verification documents indefinitely. OfflistMe's send-from-your-inbox model skips all of that.

One-time is actually MORE private

No account, no stored payment method, no database of your personal details sitting on a vendor's servers. The less you store with us, the less we can leak.

How One-Time Removal Works

  1. 1

    Select brokers

    Pick from 300+ pre-loaded brokers or let OfflistMe auto-suggest based on your profile. No scan of external databases required.

  2. 2

    Pay once

    Stripe checkout. $7, $40, or $90. No account, no stored card, no auto-renewal.

  3. 3

    Get pre-filled emails

    OfflistMe generates a legally-valid CCPA/GDPR deletion request for each broker, pre-filled with your information and the right contact address.

  4. 4

    Send from your inbox

    You click the "send" button in your own email client. Your request comes from your own email, so brokers can't claim they don't recognize the sender.

  5. 5

    Done

    Brokers have 45 days under CCPA, up to 30 days under GDPR, to honour the request. No account to log back into, no renewal to cancel.

When a Subscription Actually Wins

We're not anti-subscription; we're anti-subscription-as-default. There are users who should pick a subscription:

  • Executives, public figures, and high-risk professionals

    The ongoing re-scans and quarterly reports justify the $129/year.

  • People who truly will not self-serve

    If the realistic alternative is doing nothing, DeleteMe or Incogni is better than nothing.

  • Domestic abuse survivors with active safety concerns

    Automation removes the cognitive load during an already stressful time.

Pay once

Start at $7. Never be billed again.

FAQ

Is there a one-time payment data removal service?+

Yes. OfflistMe is a one-time-payment data broker removal service starting at $7 per run. It covers 300+ brokers and does not require an account or subscription. Most competing services (DeleteMe, Incogni, Optery, OneRep) are subscription-only.

Why do most data removal services require a subscription?+

Three reasons: (1) data records re-appear after 3–9 months as brokers re-acquire them, so vendors frame recurring cleanup as necessary; (2) recurring revenue has 10–20x the lifetime value of a one-time sale, so the business model favors subscriptions; (3) subscription services act as your authorized agent, which requires ongoing identity management overhead. OfflistMe avoids all three by letting you send opt-outs from your own inbox.

Is a one-time payment enough to remove my data?+

For a single cleanup pass, yes. CCPA §1798.135 prohibits brokers from re-selling your opted-out personal information for 12 months without fresh consent. Re-collection from new public-record feeds can still happen, so periodic re-runs are recommended for the most-actively-listed records. OfflistMe's $90 annual plan covers re-runs, and is still meaningfully cheaper than any subscription competitor.

Why is OfflistMe cheaper than DeleteMe or Incogni?+

Because the underlying legal right is already free. Subscription services charge for convenience, managing your account, storing your ID, submitting on your behalf. OfflistMe generates the legal request emails and lets you send them from your own inbox, which removes the ongoing identity-management and agent-authorization overhead that subscription vendors carry.

What happens after my one-time data removal is done?+

Brokers are legally required to honor your deletion. Under CCPA §1798.135, they cannot re-sell your opted-out data for 12 months without fresh consent. Under GDPR Article 17, the right to erasure is ongoing. Records sometimes re-appear as brokers ingest new public-record sources; you can re-run OfflistMe for $7 any time to re-send removal requests.

Is one-time data removal legal?+

Yes. CCPA, CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, UCPA, TDPSA, and GDPR all give consumers the right to demand deletion at no cost and with no ongoing engagement. A one-time service simply exercises that right in a single pass instead of forcing you to renew monthly.
