Anyone here interested in getting their personal info removed from search engines?

I've noticed a lot of people on social media expressing their frustration about their personal information appearing on various third-party search engines. It seems that many of these individuals lack understanding regarding how this information ends up there and how to remove it. Some of them believe it's a straightforward process, but that's not always the case. As someone experienced in technology, marketing, software, and repairs, I thought I could offer some help.
I've recently put together a comprehensive guide that includes a list of services along with their respective contact links. It also provides sections to input the date you contacted them and their response, among other details. This guide covers over 200 search engines and third-party companies that handle personal information exchange. If an average person were to tackle this task themselves, it would require a significant amount of time. My intention is to assist anyone interested by doing the work for them. As part of gathering feedback and potentially acquiring additional work, I'm offering a few copies to selected individuals.
I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this matter. Have a great day, and Geaux Tigers tomorrow!

third-party search engines

On my most recent quarterly report, there were FORTY SEVEN!!! data broker sites they were engaged in making sure I didn't appear on.
I've been doing this for about the past 10 years. On multiple occasions, I've been in groups where people were sort of supposed to have done research and come prepared, and at some point, they'll turn to me and be like "except you - we couldn't find ANYTHING about you on the internet". Makes me smile every time.

Data brokers get your info from internet tracking data too (like cookies).

I've found it easier to just assume a new real life identity every few years.

Totally get it, but it’s pointless.
You can scrub all you want. Create fake accts all you want.
Fact is, any site you visit can and does personal identifying info down to SS#.
Installed the pixel software on a clients site just to see what it’d do.. Jaw hit the floor.
Any and everything you want to know about someone was pulled into google doc.
We have no privacy, it’s only an illusion.
No shite.

Interesting. Not the cheapest but may be worth it if is actually works.

I used to subscribe to Incognito and they’re still doing their thing of removing data even after my one year subscription ended. Things were still in the works so to speak.
I’ve switched to deleteME and I like the interface better and updates.
Both of these paid for services have helped tremendously with removing my information off the search engines.
