VALT Data Broker Removal

Overview

VALT Data Broker Removal is a service for scanning people-search brokers and submitting deletion requests for individuals. It is best for people who want automated, ongoing follow-up across many sites; the free exposure scan lets them check before committing.

Its broad coverage and repeated requests are compelling, but removals depend on each broker and require a paid plan. Readers looking for guaranteed, immediate deletion or a free erasure service should look elsewhere.

Key features

VALT scans 1,000+ broker databases and files automated requests under CCPA, GDPR, and state privacy laws. Examples include Spokeo, Whitepages, Intelius, and BeenVerified. That reach is useful if you want one service to handle a wide set of brokers instead of making requests site by site.

VALT continuously monitors for relistings and files again when they appear. Broker timelines vary, so repeated follow-up is more realistic than expecting a one-time request to keep information off every site. The service describes this as ongoing exposure reduction, not an instant clean slate.

The free exposure scan needs no account or payment card and does not ask for an SSN or government ID, making it a low-friction way to see what may be exposed. VALT says its zero-knowledge architecture prevents the company and its employees from seeing, accessing, or reconstructing users’ raw personal data. Its privacy policy also describes TLS/SSL encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security audits.

Connected Apps are described as capturing data from every app linked to VALT. That may suit people who want linked-app data brought into the service, but it is a reason to consider carefully which apps to connect. VALT lists support at [email protected].

Pricing

VALT uses a freemium model. Free is 0.00 USD per free, billed $0/forever. It includes dVPN protection, ad-supported secure browsing, a 7-day activity lookback, connected apps, and data widgets, but not data erasure. It is useful for trying the surrounding privacy tools and taking the free exposure scan, not for broker removal.

Standard costs 119.99 USD per year, billed yearly, with a stated saving of $59.89. It adds data erasure at 1,000+ broker sites, unlimited ad-free dVPN for all devices, unlimited history lookback, and the full database. This is the fit for individuals who want broad automated removal and ongoing monitoring without the premium specialist service.

VALTIMATE costs 239.99 USD per year, billed annually. It includes everything in Standard, plus premium data erasure at 1,000+ broker sites, a dedicated removal specialist, custom removal requests, and 4x faster scans. Choose it if those personal and custom-removal services matter; otherwise, Standard already supplies the core broad-coverage removal offer.

Platforms

VALT lists Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, and an extension. That spread accommodates mobile, desktop, and browser use, though the platform list alone does not establish that every plan feature works identically on each one.

Who it's for

VALT suits individuals who want a broad broker sweep with recurring monitoring and repeat requests, especially those who prefer delegation to handling each site themselves. The no-account scan is a sensible first step for cautious users. It is less suitable for anyone who needs immediate results, wants free removal, or does not want linked-app data captured.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Coverage across 1,000+ broker sites and continuous repeat requests address both initial exposure and later relistings.
• Pro: The free scan requires no account or card and avoids asking for an SSN or government ID.
• Pro: VALT describes zero-knowledge architecture alongside encryption, access controls, and regular security audits.
• Con: Actual removal timing varies by broker, so a request does not mean immediate deletion.
• Con: Data erasure is absent from the free plan, making the $119.99-per-year Standard plan the entry point for removal.
• Con: Connected Apps capture data from every linked app, which may not suit users who want to minimize sharing.

Verdict

Choose VALT if you want an individual-focused service with broad broker coverage, continuous monitoring, and repeated automated requests, and are willing to pay for erasure. Its free scan is an unusually low-commitment starting point, while Standard supplies the core removal service. Look elsewhere if you need immediate results, free removal, or a service that does not capture data from linked apps.
