Frequently asked questions
Can DeleteMe help if my face appears in unauthorized images?
No. DeleteMe removes personal records like addresses from data broker sites. For face exposure issues, you need a service that finds where your face appears online using biometric scanning.
Do I need both services?
If you have both face exposure issues and personal data exposure (your address, phone, background reports available online), then yes, they address separate problems. Many people dealing with face exposure also have personal data broker exposure as a secondary concern.
