AJAXX Data Scrubber

AJAXX Data Scrubber scans data-broker and people-search sites for personal information and helps manage opt-out requests. It is best suited to U.S. individuals who want recurring checks and progress tracking rather than handling every request alone. Its free scan can reveal exposure, but removals require a paid plan.

Overview

AJAXX searches more than 150 data-broker sites for one person, using one name and one city and state. Screenshots of found profiles give users a record of the exposure identified. The service supports opt-out workflows used by many brokers in states with privacy rights such as CCPA or CPRA, but its availability is limited to the United States.

Where supported, AJAXX submits removal requests automatically; when a broker requires manual steps, it guides the user through them. It advertises quarterly automatic re-scans, exposure-risk reporting and continuous removal handling. Email updates summarize progress, with no SMS alerts. The FAQ says most removals complete within 45 days, though broker verification can take longer.

The company says scan data is used only to conduct opt-out requests on the user's behalf and that it does not sell user information. Users can delete their account and associated data through Account Settings. Support is available by email or phone, with a stated response time of one business day. Subscriptions are processed through Stripe, and Fortress Apps LLC says it does not store credit-card details.

Key features

• Broker scanning: Searching 150-plus sites offers a broad starting inventory, but the one-person, one-name, one-city-and-state scope means it is not a household-wide scan under a single account.
• Mixed request handling: Automation for supported sites reduces manual work; guided steps for other brokers mean users may still need to complete actions themselves.
• Monitoring and evidence: Quarterly re-scans, exposure reporting, profile screenshots and progress tracking make it easier to follow changes over time and understand what was found.
• Progress notices: Email summaries keep updates in one channel. People who need text alerts will not get them from AJAXX.
• Removal uncertainty: The service cannot guarantee every broker will comply or that information will stay removed. It is a tool for managing requests, not a promise of permanent erasure.

Pricing

AJAXX uses a freemium model. The published Free scan plan costs free and includes the first scan and exposure results for one person, one name and one city and state. It does not include removals, so users can assess exposure but must move to a paid plan that includes Core to begin removal work. The free plan is a sensible first look, not an ongoing removal service.

Paid access is required for removals, but the available plan terms do not establish a price or further paid-plan quotas. The one-person scope applies to each plan. Readers comparing paid options should weigh that scope against their need for broader coverage; custom pricing applies where a plan has no published price.

Platforms

AJAXX is available in the United States and supports opt-out-style workflows used by many data-broker sites in states with privacy rights such as CCPA or CPRA. Its coverage is not described as global, so people outside the U.S. should not treat it as a fit for their local broker ecosystem.

Who it's for

AJAXX makes sense for a U.S. individual who wants a first exposure scan followed by recurring checks, automated requests where possible and a record of progress. It is less suitable for families who need several people covered under one account, people who expect every request to be automated, or anyone who requires guaranteed or permanent removals.

Pros and cons

• Pro — broad broker coverage: A search across 150-plus sites can surface more than a narrow single-site check.
• Pro — visible evidence and follow-up: Screenshots, quarterly re-scans and progress reports help users track findings and requests rather than relying on a one-time result.
• Pro — account and payment controls: Users can delete account data through settings, and the company says it does not sell scan data or store card details.
• Con — free access stops short of action: The free scan reveals results but does not remove them; removal requires paid access.
• Con — narrow account scope: Each plan covers one person using one name and one city and state, limiting its usefulness for households or people with multiple identities and locations to check.
• Con — no permanence guarantee: Broker compliance varies, and information may return even after removal.
• Con — email-only updates: Progress alerts do not include SMS.

Verdict

AJAXX is a credible fit for U.S. individuals who want a broad broker scan, ongoing monitoring and help managing opt-outs in one service. Its strongest case is the combination of profile evidence, repeat scans and request tracking. Look elsewhere if you need free removals, multiple people covered per plan, SMS updates or assurance that removals will be permanent.
