Become impossible to dox.

Doxxing (also spelled 'doxing') is the act of researching and publicly publishing someone's private information, home address, phone number, employer, family members, without their consent. The intent is usually to intimidate, harass, or enable others to cause real-world harm. It's illegal in several states when paired with threats or stalking behavior.

The most common targets: your home address, phone number, full legal name, workplace, family members' names and addresses, social media accounts linked to your real identity, and email addresses. Most of this is found on data broker and people-search sites, not through hacking.

You can dramatically reduce your risk. The single most effective thing is removing your personal information from data broker sites, the #1 source doxxers use. It's impossible to guarantee 100% protection (old court filings, social media, and personal disclosures still exist), but removing yourself from 500+ sites makes you far harder to dox than the average person.

GhostVault still helps. Removing your information from data broker sites prevents the doxxed information from spreading further and makes it harder for bad actors to find updated or additional details. In parallel: document the doxxing, report it to local authorities and the FBI's IC3 if there are threats, and contact the platforms where it was posted. We can move quickly on the data broker side within 24 hours.

A VPN hides your browsing activity from your ISP and masks your IP address. It does nothing about your personal info on data broker sites, which is compiled from public records, not from your browsing. VPN + data broker removal together is the stronger stack; alone, a VPN barely moves the needle on doxxing risk.

High-visibility clients are the highest-yield use case for GhostVault. If you have a public profile, please email us at founder@ghostvault.live with context, we route priority accounts through an expedited onboarding to get removals filed the same day.
