Executive exposure
Executives’ home addresses are often easy to find online. We document what a stranger can learn about your leaders and their families, then remove as much of it as possible.
What you get
Benefits
01
A complete footprint
Home addresses, children’s schools, regular routines. We show each executive what someone could piece together from public sources.
02
Reduce the footprint
We file removal requests with data brokers and people-search sites, then check that the listings stay gone.
03
Cover the family too
Spouses and children are often easier to find. Assessments can include them, with their consent.
04
Confidential
Findings go only to the executive and the people they designate.
What’s included
What We Do
- Personal footprint assessment
- Data-broker removal
How it works
How It Runs
- Step 1
Consent
Every assessment starts with the executive’s written consent and an agreed scope.
- Step 2
Assess
We search public records, data brokers, social media and breach data.
- Step 3
Remove
We file removal requests and follow each one to completion.
- Step 4
Recheck
Data brokers relist people constantly, so an optional retainer checks and removes again on a schedule.
Case study
Reducing a founder's family footprint
After their company raised money and got press, a founder started getting unwanted mail at home. They wanted to know what was public about them and their family, and to remove what they could.
Example engagement. The client is fictional and details are illustrative, to show how this work typically goes.

The situation
The founder’s name had been in the news. Packages and letters started arriving at their home from people they didn’t know. Their spouse was worried about the kids’ school being findable online.
What we did
With the founder’s written consent, and the spouse’s for their own information, we searched data brokers, people-search sites, property records, social media and breach data. We noted everything a stranger could find and how they’d find it.
Then we filed removal requests with every data broker that accepts them and tracked each one until it was done.
What we found
We found 37 data-broker listings showing the home address, phone numbers and family members’ names. A relative’s public social media account had photos that made the kids’ school easy to identify. The home address also appeared in an old company registration filing.
What changed
33 of the 37 listings were removed within 60 days. The relative made their account private after we shared what it revealed. The company registration was updated to use a business address. Quarterly rechecks catch listings that reappear, which they often do.
