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 FastPeopleSearch require email verification to opt out?

No. FastPeopleSearch is one of the few data brokers that does not require email verification to opt out. You simply find your listing, click 'Remove My Record', and the removal is processed immediately.

How long does FastPeopleSearch removal take?

FastPeopleSearch removal is nearly instant — your record is typically removed within a few hours. However, new records can reappear from updated public data sources, so periodic monitoring is recommended.

Is FastPeopleSearch free to use and why is that a privacy concern?

FastPeopleSearch is free for searchers, which means it gets enormous traffic. Because it costs nothing to look someone up, it is widely used for stalking, harassment, and skip tracing. Removing yourself from FastPeopleSearch is one of the more impactful opt-outs you can do.
