FAQ

PresidiumIQ initiates removal requests using each site’s published removal process. This usually means submitting opt-out forms, emailing site contacts, and following site-specific verification steps.

Every request is tracked as an action with a status. You can see what was submitted, when it was submitted, and what happened next.

Automation handles the repetitive parts: identifying the right workflow for a site, preparing a request, submitting it, and checking for results.

Humans step in when a site requires manual handling, when responses are unclear, or when the process changes. You will see when a request is waiting on a site and when it is flagged for escalation.

PresidiumIQ focuses on core data broker and people-search sites first. Coverage is a living list because sites change, new sites appear, and workflows evolve.

In the product, you will see which sites are currently covered and which ones are in progress. If there is a specific site you care about, you can request it.

PresidiumIQ will reattempt requests based on the site’s process and timing. If a site requires extra verification or manual steps, the request is escalated.

Some sites will only remove data after specific requirements are met, and some may have exemptions under applicable law. In those cases, PresidiumIQ records the outcome clearly and continues monitoring for changes.

It depends on the site. Some removals complete in days. Others take weeks because the site has a review cycle, verification steps, or slow processing.

PresidiumIQ tracks timing per site and per request, so you can see what is active, what is pending, and what has completed.

Verification means checking the site again after a request is submitted and recording the result. If a listing is no longer present or is no longer attributable to you, the status is updated to removed.

When verification cannot be fully automated, the request is flagged for manual review. Nothing is marked complete without a reason you can see.

Traditional data removal services focus on outsourcing a specific task. They periodically search a fixed list of data broker sites, submit removal requests, and send reports showing what was handled. You typically pay per removal for a one-time cleanup.

PresidiumIQ is built differently.

Instead of treating data removal as a one-time or periodic service, PresidiumIQ treats your digital identity as an ongoing system that needs to be governed.

You get:

• A private, live view of where your personal data exists
• A clear record of what actions have been taken and why
• Continuous monitoring that turns new exposure into action
• Agent-assisted execution with human oversight when required

Removals are still handled on your behalf, including human involvement when sites require it. The difference is that nothing happens outside your view, and nothing is treated as “done forever.”

PresidiumIQ is not just cleaning up past exposure.
It is maintaining control over your digital identity over time.

There is no single number, but for most adults in the United States, personal data appears across dozens of sites, and often more.

For a typical person:

• Core data broker and people-search sites usually account for 30 to 90 listings
• Additional appearances come from marketing databases, public record aggregators, background lookup services, and archived profiles and scraped pages

For people who own property, have professional licenses, run businesses, or appear in news, blogs, or social platforms, the number can be significantly higher.

Data brokers are the primary amplifiers of digital identity exposure.

They collect information from public records, commercial sources, and scraped data, then aggregate it into profiles, resell or redistribute it, and update and republish it over time.

Because many other sites copy from brokers, a single data broker listing can lead to multiple downstream appearances.
This is why PresidiumIQ focuses on data brokers first. Removing data at the source reduces how often it spreads elsewhere.

Even after data is removed:

• brokers refresh their databases
• new sites appear
• old data can be reintroduced

That is why PresidiumIQ treats this as an ongoing system, not a one-time cleanup.

No. PresidiumIQ is designed to work through public-facing removal processes and site-specific opt-out workflows.

If a site requires information beyond what you are comfortable providing, the request is paused and you stay in control of what happens next.

PresidiumIQ is designed to minimize stored personal information. The system needs enough to operate, authenticate you, and track requests, but it avoids collecting data that is not required.

Sensitive information is encrypted and permissioned. Access is tied to your account and device approval, and the product is designed to operate without ads or data resale.

Monitoring tools mainly notify you. PresidiumIQ executes.

It turns exposure into tracked actions, and it maintains a durable record of what happened over time. This is not monitoring. This is governance.

Reappearance is expected. Brokers refresh databases, new sources appear, and downstream sites copy from upstream listings.

PresidiumIQ continues monitoring covered surfaces and turns new exposure into a new request. You will see it as a status change and an action in your record.

Yes. PresidiumIQ keeps a clear record of actions and outcomes so you can understand what was submitted, what is pending, and what has completed.

Nothing happens silently. Nothing is hidden.

Personal is designed for one person. Family is designed for a household, with coverage for multiple family members and a shared view of progress.

Family includes priority handling and guaranteed human-in-the-loop escalation when sites require manual steps. You can see plan details on the pricing page.

There is no free tier. PresidiumIQ is designed to be paid for, not monetized through ads or resale of personal data. The PresidiumIQ team was all taught if you're not paying for the product, you are the product. :)

If you want to start small, monthly billing is available. Annual is recommended, but it is not required.

Yes, you can cancel at any time. If you cancel, monitoring and new requests stop after your paid period ends.

PresidiumIQ is designed to keep stored data minimal. If you want your account data deleted, contact us through the About page and we will handle it.
