How it works
Five phases. No black box.
Most privacy services go quiet after you pay. EdgeFocus is built to show its work at every step.
You give us a name, city, and state — that's all we need to start. In about a minute we run targeted searches across 40+ people-search sites and data brokers. We only ask for more (like a phone number or email) when checking it adds something, and you'll always know why.
Your results show broker names, exposure types, risk and confidence levels, and partially masked evidence. You confirm what's you and dismiss what isn't — your confirmations sharpen the cleanup plan.
Quick-win removals start during your $1 trial on the fastest sites. When your monitoring plan begins, we queue every confirmed exposure — automated where reliable, handled by a human where sites make it hard, and guided step-by-step in the app for the few sites that only accept requests directly from you.
A removal only counts when we've re-checked the source and confirmed your data is gone — dated, screenshotted, shown to you. "Submitted" is a status, not a victory lap.
Removed data reappears — that's how this industry works. We re-scan monthly, alert you when something comes back, and go remove it again.
Full transparency
How we actually handle each site.
Different sites demand different methods. We tell you which is which — most services don't.
Automated
Simple opt-out sites where our systems handle submission and verification end-to-end.
Human-handled
Sites with captchas, email hops, or fussy forms — our operator submits and tracks these personally.
Guided together
A few networks only accept requests directly from you. We walk you through each step in the app, and track the result like any other removal.
Honest about limits
Some sources are slow, hostile, or not removable (certain public records). We label them instead of pretending.
California residents
Your DROP rights, handled with you.
California's Delete Act gives residents a free state-run deletion platform (DROP). EdgeFocus doesn't pretend it away — we help you use it, track the legal deadlines brokers must meet, and cover what DROP doesn't reach: people-search delistings, out-of-state brokers, verification, and reappearance monitoring.
