Find what's out there. Then get it taken down.

The free tool tells you where your name and handles appear. This service goes further: we do the search properly, verify what is genuinely yours, and then work through the removal process with you — the part that is tedious, slow, and where most people give up.

Why this is harder than it sounds

Deleting an account is easy. Finding the ones you forgot is not. Most people have a decade of abandoned signups behind an old email address, a handle they stopped using in school, and a dozen data-broker profiles they never created in the first place — assembled from public records and sold on. Those broker records are the ones that actually matter, because they aggregate your address, phone number, relatives and employment history into a single page anyone can buy.

They also come back. Brokers re-scrape, and a record removed in March reappears in September under a slightly different spelling. A one-off cleanup is not a cleanup.

What we do

1. Discovery

We run your handles, aliases and email addresses across our own platform catalogue — currently more than 280 sites — plus search-engine and archive sources the automated tool cannot reach. Every match is verified by hand. A result that cannot be confirmed is reported as unconfirmed, not padded into the total.

2. Exposure report

You get a written report: every account found, every data-broker listing, breach exposure for your addresses, and anything leaking from places people rarely check — public commit metadata, EXIF in uploaded photos, old archived copies of pages you thought were gone. Each finding names its source so you can verify it yourself.

3. Removal

We prepare and submit opt-out and erasure requests to the brokers and sites that accept them, track which have complied, and escalate the ones that ignore the first request. Where a site requires you to act personally — most account deletions do, by design — we give you the exact steps and the direct link, rather than a generic instruction to "visit settings".

4. Re-checks

Because records reappear, we re-run the discovery on a schedule and tell you what has come back. This is the part that separates a cleanup from a screenshot.

What we will not claim

Nobody can delete you from the internet, and any service that says otherwise is selling a story. What is achievable: removing broker listings that offer an opt-out, closing accounts you control, de-indexing specific URLs where the search engine's policy allows it, and knowing precisely what remains and why. Court records, news coverage and other people's posts about you generally cannot be removed, and we will tell you that at the start rather than after you have paid.

We also only work on your own footprint, or one you are formally authorised to act on. We do not investigate third parties on request. See our Terms.

Who runs it

MyRecon is built by the team behind BugSnaps, a penetration testing and offensive security practice. The same methodology used to map an organisation's attack surface is what maps a person's — the difference is who the report is for. More on the about page.
