DeleteMe helps individuals protect their online privacy by removing personal information from search engines and data broker databases. It works by customers subscribing to a recurring service; they submit their personal data, after which DeleteMe’s experts search the web for the information and initiate removal requests. A detailed report is provided within seven days, and the process repeats every three months to maintain ongoing protection. The business relies on a subscription-based revenue model that funds regular scans and deletions to keep clients’ data off the internet. Compared to competitors, DeleteMe focuses on continual monitoring and repeated removals over time, offering ongoing privacy protection and reputation management. The company’s goal is to reduce the spread of a person’s personal data online and give individuals visibility and control over what information about them remains accessible.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Permission Slip brought nearly five million privacy requests across more than 400 companies.
  • DeleteMe says hundreds of thousands of consumers and 1,000 organizations now trust it.
  • AI-powered social engineering demand strengthened DeleteMe's enterprise pitch in 2026.

What critics are saying

  • Both acquisitions remain separate products, delaying cross-sell and integration until late 2026.
  • DeleteMe depends on data brokers honoring removals, and brokers can relist profiles quickly.
  • If brokers automate opt-outs, DeleteMe's manual-removal moat disappears by 2027.

What makes Deleteme unique

  • DeleteMe now spans data brokers, social media, and data-rights requests after July 2026.
  • Block Party added cleanup across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X on March 24, 2026.
  • TD SYNNEX distribution opened DeleteMe to small, midmarket, and enterprise buyers on April 16, 2026.

"We're delighted to see DeleteMe build on that work and continue delivering meaningful privacy protections for consumers." Since its launch in 2022, Permission Slip has helped hundreds of thousands of consumers take control of their data by simplifying the process of requesting data deletion and opting out of data sharing. The platform has facilitated nearly 5 million privacy requests across more than 400 companies. The deal expands DeleteMe's reach beyond data broker removal into broader privacy rights management - giving consumers a more comprehensive set of tools to control how their personal information is collected, shared, and used. "Consumer privacy is at a pivotal moment," said Rob Shavell, CEO of DeleteMe. "As more personal information is collected, shared, and sold, consumers need simple, effective tools to protect their privacy and reclaim control of their data. Permission Slip has built an outstanding platform and community around that mission, and we're excited to continue expanding its impact as part of DeleteMe." Consumer Reports, the consumer research, testing and advocacy organization, launched Permission Slip following years of advocacy for stronger consumer data rights legislation, with a specific goal: making it easier for consumers to request data deletion, limit data sharing, and hold companies accountable for how they handle personal information. "Permission Slip has helped advance hard-won consumer privacy victories through policy advocacy and research that helps people understand how their personal data is used," said Ginny Fahs, Senior Director of Emerging Products and Services at Consumer Reports. "We're delighted to see DeleteMe build on that work and continue delivering meaningful privacy protections for consumers." For Permission Slip users, the transition will be seamless. Existing accounts, subscriptions, and pending requests will continue without interruption. DeleteMe is expected to assume full operation of the platform in July, with no action required from users. With the acquisition complete, DeleteMe moves closer to a single destination for consumer privacy, from removing personal data at the source to giving consumers direct control over how companies collect and use it going forward. The companies will work together over the coming weeks to complete the transition and introduce new features designed to give consumers even greater control over their personal data. About DeleteMe DeleteMe is the global leader in proactive privacy protection and personal data removal. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Boston, MA, DeleteMe is trusted by hundreds of thousands of consumers and more than 1,000 organizations to secure their most vulnerable asset: their identity.

DeleteMe acquires social media tool Block Party.

DeleteMe acquires social media tool Block Party. DeleteMe hints at expanding its online privacy protection by acquiring Block Party, a social-media clean-up tool. Both tools remain separate for now. Last Updated: 09 Apr'26 DeleteMe is one of the best-known online data removal services, contacting data brokers on your behalf to request data removal (you can read more about it in its DeleteMe review). Data brokers harvest publicly available data about people and package that information to sell to companies, government agencies and really anyone who wants to know more about you. These data removal services are useful because it automates the removal process, which would take far more time if a person wanted to do it themselves. They also continue to monitor data broker sites, and they will continue to request data deleting if data brokers start collecting information again. However, a soft spot in data removal is that many people publish information on their accounts - like Instagram, Facebook, X and Google - that can be harvested by data brokers. Enter Block Party, a service that scans personal accounts across 12 platforms, flags privacy risks and bulk-cleans your posts, photos and connections to reduce your online exposure. This past week, DeleteMe announced it was acquiring Block Party, saying it "closes this gap by acting like a privacy expert for your social media." Although both services remain separate for now, DeleteMe plans to incorporate features into its service in the future to help individuals reclaim privacy and to protect teams from social engineering attacks. This ultimately gives DeleteMe an edge over its competitors, like Incogni and Optery, which currently focus largely on data removal and identity theft protection. Cloudwards will keep an eye on DeleteMe's offerings in the future and update the review once they announce changes to incorporate Block Party features.

DeleteMe acquires Block Party to tackle AI-powered social engineering attacks

DeleteMe, a privacy protection platform, has acquired Block Party, a social media privacy and safety tool, to expand protection against data exposure and AI-powered attacks. Financial terms were not disclosed. Block Party operates as a browser extension that automatically detects and fixes privacy and security issues across social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X. The tool helps organisations identify and remediate social media exposure risks at scale. The acquisition addresses the rise in social engineering attacks, which increased 89% last year. DeleteMe CEO Rob Shavell said the combination creates the only solution removing personal data from both data brokers and social media. The average American has 611 pieces of personally identifiable information exposed online. Both products will continue operating separately whilst integration plans develop.
