How to delete yourself from the internet (EU)

You cannot vanish completely, but you can remove most of what exposes you. Here is the EU playbook.

Start with data brokers

People-search sites and data brokers are the biggest source of your exposed data. Opt out of the major ones (Spokeo, WhitePages, BeenVerified and local EU directories).

Use your GDPR rights

In the EU, Article 17 lets you demand deletion from any company. Send erasure requests with our free generator.

Clean up search results

Ask Google to delist pages exposing your home address and contact details, and use the EU right to be forgotten.

Close old accounts

Delete dormant accounts and unsubscribe from marketing lists that leak your details.
