Run a free privacy scan to see where your personal information may be exposed, then activate DataRights to send POPIA deletion requests to South African data brokers.
Takes less than 2 minutes · No credit card required for the first scan
Every time you apply for credit, fill in a form, or shop online, your information enters a network of data brokers that trade it without your consent. POPIA gives you the right to demand deletion — we enforce it.
Data brokers sell your phone number to debt collectors, insurance companies, and telemarketers. The calls don't stop until your data is deleted from their databases.
Your ID number, income details, and credit history sit in credit bureau databases. This data can be accessed by fraudsters and used to open accounts in your name.
Sites like WhitePages-SA and ZaDirectory publish your home address, employment history, and family connections. Anyone can look you up in seconds.
You have the right to demand deletion under POPIA Section 23 — but brokers ignore emails. They only respond to formal written notices with legal weight. That's exactly what we send.
We automate the entire legal process of removing your data from corporate databases — all you do is sign up.
Provide your full name, ID number, phone number, and city. This is the information we use to find your profiles across data broker networks. Your data is encrypted and never shared.
Takes 2 minutesOur automated system checks your information footprint against all registered South African data brokers, credit bureaus, marketing databases, and people-search sites.
Automated & instantWe generate and dispatch legally binding deletion notices on your behalf — citing POPIA Section 23. Each letter demands confirmation within 15 business days as required by law.
Legal & bindingIf a broker ignores or refuses the request after 20 days, we automatically send a Day-20 follow-up and (on Pro and Guardian plans) file an Information Regulator complaint on your behalf.
Fully managedData brokers re-acquire your information from public records and third-party sales. We re-scan every 30 days and send fresh deletion requests for any new data found, so you stay protected long-term.
Ongoing protectionChoose the level of protection that fits your needs. All plans include monthly rescans and legally binding deletion letters.

Real people who took back control of their personal information.
I was getting dozens of spam calls daily. Within a month of using DataRights, the calls almost completely stopped. Incredible service — I wish I'd found it sooner.
As someone who values privacy, knowing exactly which companies had my ID number was terrifying. DataRights helped me wipe the slate clean across 50 brokers.
The automated follow-ups are a game changer. I tried emailing these brokers myself before, but they only respond when the legal notices arrive. DataRights does this automatically.
I was shocked to find my home address on three people-search sites I'd never even heard of. Within 6 weeks they were gone. The Pro plan is worth every rand.
As a small business owner, my details were everywhere. The monthly reports show exactly which brokers have been contacted and what action was taken. Total transparency.
I had a data breach scare last year. Since signing up for DataRights I get breach alerts and know my data is being actively removed. Peace of mind I can't put a price on.
