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 TruthFinder require a subscription to opt out?

No. TruthFinder's opt-out is completely free at truthfinder.com/opt-out. You do not need to create an account or subscribe to any plan — you simply submit your name and email and verify the request.

How long does TruthFinder take to remove your record?

TruthFinder typically removes records within 24-48 hours after email verification. Records can reappear after a few months if their data sources are refreshed.

What does TruthFinder show in a background report?

TruthFinder background reports include addresses, phone numbers, relatives, criminal records, arrest records, court filings, social media accounts, and dark web exposure data. Removing your TruthFinder profile prevents this information from being accessible to paying subscribers.

Is TruthFinder's dark web monitoring feature legitimate?

TruthFinder does include dark web scanning in its paid subscriptions, but this is a feature for its paying customers — it is not related to the opt-out process. For ongoing dark web monitoring combined with data broker removal, GhostVault includes breach monitoring at no extra cost.

TruthFinder and Instant Checkmate

TruthFinder and Instant Checkmate are owned by the same company, PeopleConnect. Opting out of TruthFinder does NOT automatically opt you out of Instant Checkmate — you must submit separate removal requests to each site. The same applies to Intelius, which is also part of the PeopleConnect family.

Criminal Records and TruthFinder

TruthFinder pulls arrest and court records from public databases. Opting out removes you from TruthFinder's system, but the underlying court records remain public and other sites may still display them. If you need to address court record visibility specifically, that requires a separate process such as expungement.

TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, BeenVerified — all pulling the same data

They're all pulling from the same data sources. GhostVault removes your info from all 500+ sites at once.
