- Search for your name on the broker's site again in a few weeks.
Questions
Is anything I type sent to GhostVault?
No. The letter is built in your browser. Your name, email, address and the letter text are not sent to our server. The page only counts anonymous button clicks.
Which law should I pick?
California residents can cite the California Consumer Privacy Act. Residents of states with their own consumer privacy law can cite that law. Elsewhere, a plain request still works with many brokers, though they are not always required to honor it.
Will the broker delete my data?
Not always. Brokers may ask you to verify your identity, use a web form instead, or claim an exemption. Keep a copy of what you sent and check the listing again in a few weeks.
Not legal advice. This tool fills in a template. It does not tell you which law applies to you or to a given business. State privacy laws change and have exemptions; check the current law or ask a lawyer if you are unsure.
