How does GhostVault stop spam calls?

Americans received 52.5 billion robocalls in 2025, according to the YouMail Robocall Index. Spam callers source phone numbers primarily from data broker sites that aggregate and sell personal information. GhostVault removes your phone number, home address, and personal details from 500+ data broker and people-search sites — cutting off the supply chain that feeds spam callers. Most users report a significant reduction in spam calls within 30–60 days of removal.

Can GhostVault prevent identity theft?

Yes. The FTC received 1.1 million identity theft reports in 2024, with total consumer fraud losses hitting $12.5 billion — a 25% increase over the prior year (FTC Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book 2024). Identity thieves routinely use data broker sites to obtain personal details — full name, address, phone number, relatives, and employment history — before committing fraud. GhostVault removes this data from 500+ broker sites and monitors for reappearance, materially reducing the personal information available to bad actors.

How long does it take to remove my information?

GhostVault's scan delivers results instantly — no waiting period. Automated CCPA deletion requests are sent to data brokers immediately upon subscription. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, brokers are legally required to process deletion requests within 45 days. In practice, most major brokers (Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified) remove listings within 7–14 days. GhostVault monitors your listings continuously and re-submits removal requests whenever your data reappears.

Which data broker sites does GhostVault remove me from?

GhostVault targets 500+ data broker and people-search sites — more than double the coverage of most competitors. This includes all major brokers: Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, TruePeopleSearch, Intelius, Radaris, PeopleFinders, MyLife, FastPeopleSearch, Nuwber, PeopleLooker, and hundreds of smaller aggregators and resellers. The global data broker market was valued at approximately $277–$303 billion in 2024, according to multiple industry research firms including Grand View Research and ResearchAndMarkets, making comprehensive removal coverage essential.

Is the scan really free?

Yes. GhostVault's exposure scan is completely free — no credit card, no account required. The scan checks your name against 500+ data broker databases and returns a detailed report showing exactly which sites have your phone number, home address, relatives, and other personal information. Paid removal starts at $3.99/month, making GhostVault the most affordable full-coverage data removal service available in 2026.

How much does GhostVault cost?

GhostVault costs $3.99/month on a monthly plan, or $39/year ($3.25/month) on the annual plan. This makes it the lowest-priced comprehensive data removal service in the market — cheaper than Incogni ($6.49/month annual), OneRep ($8.33/month annual), DeleteMe ($10.75/month annual), and PrivacyDuck ($8.25/month annual). All plans include unlimited removal requests, continuous monitoring, and breach alerts.

Does CyberBackgroundChecks show criminal records?

Yes. CyberBackgroundChecks aggregates criminal records, arrest records, sex offender registry data, and court filings from public sources. It displays this information for free to any visitor. Opting out removes your profile from their site, though the underlying court records remain public.

How long does CyberBackgroundChecks take to remove your record?

CyberBackgroundChecks typically removes records within 24–48 hours of a verified opt-out request.

Is CyberBackgroundChecks opt-out free?

Opting Out vs. Expungement

Getting your profile removed from CyberBackgroundChecks is not the same as expunging a record. The opt-out pulls your listing from their site; the court records themselves stay in public databases and other sites may still show them. If you need the underlying records sealed, that's a court process — an attorney who handles expungements can tell you whether you're eligible in your state.

Multiple Listings

If you've lived in multiple states or have records in different counties, CyberBackgroundChecks may have created separate listings for each jurisdiction. Search your name with variations — middle name, maiden name, initials — and submit a removal request for each one you find.

CyberBackgroundChecks is one of 500+ sites with your data

GhostVault removes you from all of them and keeps re-removing when data reappears.
