Malwarebytes Personal Data Remover scans a vast network of data broker databases and individual sites for your sensitive data and personal information. Once it finds a profile matching your information, it submits a request to the data broker site to have it removed. On the Personal Data Remover dashboard in your Malwarebytes account, profiles that have had removal requests submitted will have the In Progress status.
Profiles with the In Progress status may take up to 45 days before they are removed. Although Personal Data Remover has already submitted a request to remove your information, it might take up to 45 days to completely delete your profile from a data broker website or database. The time it takes to remove a person’s profile varies by data broker. Some profiles may be deleted right away, while others may take weeks.
