DeleteMe

What began as a response to a growing concern for online privacy has evolved into a leading force in the data removal industry. In 2010, co-founders Rob Shavell, Eugene Kuznetsov, and Andrew Sudbury recognized the increasing difficulty for individuals to manage their digital footprints in an ever-more-connected world. This realization was the spark that ignited the creation of DeleteMe, a service under the umbrella of Abine, Inc., The Online Privacy Company. The mission was clear from the start: to empower people by giving them control over their personal data. The internet was becoming a vast repository of personal information, often collected and sold by data brokers without consent, leading to a greater risk of identity theft, spam, and online harassment. DeleteMe was conceived as a powerful ally for the everyday internet user, a way to fight back against the opaque practices of data brokers.

From its inception, DeleteMe has been on a journey of continuous innovation. The team, driven by a passion for privacy, developed a system that combines automated technology with human expertise to meticulously scan the web for personal information and request its removal. This hybrid approach ensures a more thorough and effective service than purely automated solutions. Over the years, DeleteMe has successfully processed over 100 million data removal requests, solidifying its reputation as a trusted and effective privacy solution. The company prides itself on its remote-only workforce, a testament to its modern and flexible approach, allowing it to attract top talent from across the globe. This global team is united by a shared commitment to making the internet a safer place, one deleted record at a time. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, so does DeleteMe, constantly adapting its strategies to combat new privacy threats and provide its customers with peace of mind.
