We’ve completely redesigned the DeleteMe experience to be faster, more transparent, and easier to use. Our new platform isn't just a fresh coat of paint—it’s a powerful new engine built to give you more control over your personal data.
Here is a guide to what’s new and how to make the most of your updated dashboard.
A Fresh, Intuitive Dashboard
When you first log in, you’ll notice a cleaner, more streamlined layout. We’ve moved away from cluttered lists to a high-level overview of your privacy health.
- The Progress Tracker: See exactly where you are in your "Privacy Journey." From the moment you submit your data to the final removal, you can track our progress in real-time.
- Active Monitoring: Our new interface highlights "Continuous Monitoring," showing you how many times we’ve scanned the web for your data this month.
The New "Protection" Tab
The core of your account is the Protection tab. This is where the heavy lifting happens.
- Centralized Datasheets: You can now view and edit your personal information, addresses, and phone numbers in one unified view. You will also have access to the additional datasheets included in your subscription.
- Add Person Feature: On eligible plans, adding a spouse or family member is simpler than ever. Just click the + Add Person button at the top right to invite them or manage their data yourself.
- Custom Removal Requests: See a link we missed? The new platform makes it easy to submit a custom request. Just paste the URL, and our experts will get to work on it manually.
How the Removal Process Works
We’ve improved our backend "match engine" to be more precise. Here is the lifecycle of a removal on the new platform:
- Scanning: Our automated systems scan the data broker sites included in your plan using the details in your datasheet.
- Matching: The system identifies potential matches. (Note: Our new UI handles much of the "Is this you?" logic automatically to save you time!)
- Opting-Out: Once a match is confirmed, DeleteMe sends a formal opt-out request to the broker.
- Verification: We don't just take the broker's word for it. We verify the data is gone before marking it as "Removed" in your report.
Privacy Reports 2.0
Our reports have been redesigned to be more "scannable." Instead of digging through pages of text, you can see:
- Total Records Removed: A lifetime count of your privacy wins.
- Brokers Covered: A list of every site we are currently monitoring for you.
- Time Saved: An estimate of how many hours of manual work DeleteMe has handled on your behalf.
Getting Started
If you haven't explored the new site yet, we recommend:
- Reviewing your Datasheet: Ensure all your aliases and old addresses are listed.
- Checking for Custom Requests: If you've found a stray link on Google, submit it via the Protection tab.
Setting up 2FA: For added security, visit your account settings to enable Two-Factor Authentication.
Tip: The more information you provide in your datasheet, the more effective our new scanning engine becomes. Don't forget to include old phone numbers and previous cities of residence!
