Overview
Personal Data Removal is a service that helps protect your privacy by removing your personal information from various websites and data brokers. For example, when someone Googles you or your family, data brokers are selling your personal info to anyone who is willing to pay the price.
Additionally, many apps will ask for permission to access the files, photos, contacts, and other personal information on your device. By allowing access, these apps could be selling your data to third-parties without your consent.

What is Data Removal?
It works by scanning the internet to identify any instances of your personal data, such as your name, address, phone number, or email address, and then submitting opt-out requests to the relevant websites or data brokers to have your information deleted.
This is a great way to help keep your personal information out of the hands of those who would use it for malicious purposes. Plus, VirtualShield will also monitor the web for any new instances of your personal information and repeat the opt-out process as necessary.
There’s nothing to download in order to utilize this service, just sign up and get protected.
