How It Works
Removal is not a one-time cleanup and an evidence file is not built the week you decide to act. Here is exactly what we do, in what order, and what you receive at each stage.
We search hundreds of data-broker and people-search sites for your name, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, relatives and household. You get a written baseline showing exactly who is listing what.
Removal and opt-out requests go out to every site holding a profile. Statutory response windows are tracked, and non-responders are escalated rather than quietly dropped.
In parallel, every unwanted call, text and email is captured into a structured evidence file — date, time, originating number, content, whether a recording was used, and every opt-out you sent.
Spoofed numbers are dead ends; the company that bought the lead often is not. Your file records every detail that points to it — a warm transfer, a company name the caller gave, a callback number, a landing page — along with that company's public registration record.
When your file documents the calls or texts and names the company that sent them, we prepare your cease-and-desist and demand package — every communication logged, each provision cited, the statutory damages computed. You review it, change anything you want and sign it in your own name; we send it by certified mail and track every response. To go further, you engage an attorney of your choosing.
Re-scan, re-file, re-report. Removal is not permanent on its own, and anything that arrives after a demand is delivered goes straight into your file.
MercPrivacy is not a law firm and does not practise law. We do the removal, documentation and administrative work in house, and we prepare the documents you sign and send in your own name.
You make every decision about your demand, and any discussion of money with the company is between you, or an attorney you engage, and that company. When something needs legal representation — anything filed in a court, anything that amounts to legal advice about your specific situation, or an appearance on your behalf — you engage a licensed attorney of your choosing, who represents you. At your direction, we share your file with them.
You are free to use your own attorney at any point, and we encourage you to have one review anything before you sign or send it.
