Overview
After you’ve signed up and submitted your information for removal using your DeleteMe data sheet, DeleteMe experts will begin sending opt-out requests on your behalf. Within seven days of signup, you will receive your first DeleteMe Privacy Report, indicating where we’ve found your information and what’s being done to remove that information. This is not an indication that we’ve removed your information from these sites, rather a status update about what’s currently being done to remove your information, whether or not it’s already been removed.

Removing Personal Information
Unfortunately, the amount of time it takes for your information to disappear from the site will depend on the data broker–some respond to opt-out requests and immediately remove your information, while others can take weeks to process an opt-out request.
