For people who want to keep a low profile

A fresh start, a difficult separation, harassment, a new job or simply the wish to get your privacy back. There are many reasons for wanting your name to stop appearing online, and they are all valid.

This service is a complete project, not a one-off request: we find everything there is about you and remove it, piece by piece, through the appropriate route in each case. It is especially useful if you have lived, worked or invested in Spain and your name appears on Spanish websites, directories or official gazettes. We work remotely and in English, and the GDPR protects you whatever your nationality.

What it includes

  • Old accounts: social networks you no longer use, forums, online shops, abandoned blogs or services you signed up to years ago.
  • Directories and listings: business and self-employed directories, lists of members of professional associations, public examination results and people search websites.
  • Data brokers: companies that collect and sell personal data for commercial purposes. We exercise your GDPR rights to erasure and to object with them.
  • Old photos posted by you or by others on websites, blogs or social networks.
  • Search engine delisting of anything that cannot be erased at source. See right to be forgotten.
  • Final report with everything we found, what has been removed and what remains.

Before we start

Make a list of the email addresses and usernames you have used over the years. It is the best clue for finding accounts you no longer even remember.

What cannot be erased

We want to be clear, because not everything can be made to disappear:

  • Official publications such as Spain's Official State Gazette (BOE), the Companies Register Gazette (BORME) or regional gazettes are kept, although it is often possible to stop them appearing in search engines.
  • Information of public interest about your current professional or public activity.
  • Copies held by third parties who do not respond or are outside the European Union, although there are routes there too. See foreign websites.
  • Historical internet archives, which only remove content in certain circumstances.

The realistic goal is that, when your name is searched, as little as possible appears and nothing that exposes you. We tell you before we start, so you know exactly what to expect and do not pay for something that cannot be achieved.

How we do it

  1. Full sweep: search engines, images, social networks, directories, data brokers and public databases.
  2. Map of your footprint: we show you everything we found, ordered by priority.
  3. Removal: we close accounts, exercise your rights and request delisting of anything that cannot be erased.
  4. Follow-up: we file complaints with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) when organisations do not respond within the legal deadline.
  5. Final report and, if you wish, monitoring so that it does not reappear.

If you are being harassed or are at risk, tell us: we prioritise any data that could be used to locate you. Start with the free analysis.

Frequently asked questions

Can I disappear from the internet completely?

Completely, almost never. What can be done is to reduce to a minimum what appears when your name is searched and remove the data that could be used to locate or identify you.

Do I need to give you my passwords?

No. For accounts you still control, we guide you so that you close them yourself. For those you no longer control, we use each service's procedures and your data protection rights.

How long does it take?

It depends on how much has been published about you. A complete project usually takes from several weeks to a few months, because each website has its own response times.

What is a digital footprint?

It is everything on the internet about you: accounts you created, photos, comments, appearances in directories, gazettes or news, and data that others have published. Part of it you left yourself and part was left by others, and it can be reduced in both cases.

How do I erase my digital footprint step by step?

First we take an inventory of everything that appears about you in search engines, social networks, directories and other websites. Then we classify it by the route needed to remove it: closing accounts, exercising the right to erasure, requesting delisting or requesting removal at source. Finally we give you a report of what has been achieved and what remains.

How do I close old accounts if I do not remember the password?

Most services let you recover access with the email or phone number you used to sign up. If you no longer have access to either, you can exercise your GDPR right to erasure with the service by proving your identity. We guide you in each case.

Can I erase my digital footprint myself?

Partly, yes, especially closing your own accounts and requesting erasure from simple websites, and it is free. What we add is finding what you do not know exists, knowing which route works on each website and following up dozens of requests with different deadlines.

How much does it cost to erase your digital footprint?

It depends on how much has been published about you and how many routes need to be used. We carry out the analysis free of charge, tell you from the start what can be erased and what cannot, and send you a fixed quote in writing after the free analysis, before we start.

What cannot be erased from the internet?

Official publications such as the BOE or the BORME, news of current public interest and content that someone has the right to publish. In many of these cases it is at least possible to stop them appearing when your name is searched.

Is this suitable for people facing harassment or gender-based violence?

Yes, and in those cases the priority is removing any data that could be used to locate you: address, phone number, workplace or photos of your surroundings. We handle it in complete confidence and, if there is a police report, we coordinate the work with your lawyer.

How do I stop my data reappearing?

By reviewing the privacy settings of the accounts you keep, giving less data when you sign up for services and monitoring what appears about you. Some directories copy data again from public sources, which is why we offer a monitoring plan to detect it.
