According to the PrivacyFix listed-broker catalog as of July 2026. Category and difficulty are this catalog's labels, not a legal ranking. See methodology.

Catalog difficulty mix

Exclusive PrivacyFix difficulty bands across all 101 listed rows (July 2026). Not the category-volume leader above.

Opt-out method ledger

Exclusive method channels across all 101 listed brokers (July 2026). FORM-LED volume is not the same as MAIL-STEP hardness; open the catalog for the row-level URL.

Opt-out cadence

The DIY loop this hub is built for, not a paid removal product scoreboard. 62 FORM-LED · 7 MAIL-STEP · 18 METHOD setups in the July 2026 catalog.

  1. 01 · SUBMIT

    File the broker's published method

    Use the catalog URL + difficulty score. 62 of 101 rows list an online form; 7 still require a mail step (Acxiom, Corelogic, Dataaxle…).

  2. 02 · WAIT ≤45d

    Log the clock in the tracker

    CCPA-style windows are commonly 45 days. The Opt-Out Tracker stores follow-up dates in this browser only; PrivacyFix never sees the list.

  3. 03 · RE-CHECK

    Brokers re-ingest on a 6–12 month cycle

    One removal is not permanent. Re-run priority brokers and refresh the tracker after each batch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these privacy tools free?
Yes. There is no paid tier on PrivacyFix. The tools run in the browser with no account.
Where do the broker counts come from?
From the PrivacyFix listed-broker catalog (101 rows as of July 2026). That is this site's table of published opt-out URLs, not a census of every US data broker.
What does each tool read?
The Privacy Audit is an 8-question local checklist. The Opt-Out Tracker stores request dates in localStorage. State Rights Lookup reads the 19-law table. The Data Broker Database searches the 101-row catalog. Breach Check opens Have I Been Pwned; the email never hits PrivacyFix servers.
How does the Opt-Out Tracker mark follow-up?
On each visit it flags requests older than 45 days, the CCPA response window many state laws also use. The flag is computed in this browser from the date you entered.
Do these tools work on a phone?
Yes. Tracker history is per-device in localStorage, so it stays on the phone or laptop where you created it.
