Q&A Style Breakdown for Aussies Sick of Their Details Being Everywhere
“Wait… What Are Data Broker Sites?”
Data brokers are companies that collect, package, and sell your personal data to whoever wants it.
Yep — your full name, phone number, address, DOB, job history, business links, even your photos.
They scrape it from:
- Public records (ASIC, ABN, electoral rolls, etc.)
- Social media
- Court documents
- Online directories
- Previous purchases or newsletter signups
- Third-party cookies and tracking pixels
In Australia, you might see your name show up on:
White Pages
CheckPeople
TruePeopleSearch
Radaris
Spokeo
BeenVerified
ZoomInfo
and dozens of others
Even worse? You didn’t give them permission.
They just took it — and Google indexed it.
“Why Is This a Problem?”
It’s not just annoying. It’s dangerous.
Your personal info online = a risk to your life, business, and safety.
People have reported:
Ex-partners using data sites to find them
Employers snooping and finding outdated info
Customers questioning legitimacy due to data conflict
Competitors and trolls building hit pieces using scraped info
Anxiety, paranoia, and constant stress about privacy
“Can I Get My Info Removed From These Sites in Australia?”
YES — but it takes know-how, persistence, and strategy.
Here’s what we do at Reputation Station to wipe you clean:
Step 1: Scan & Track All Data Broker Exposure
We don’t just check Google. We scan hundreds of sites that hold:
- Your name
- Old business details
- Personal photos
- Marriage records
- Court appearances
- Previous addresses
- Employment history
We cross-reference your exposure and prioritise the most dangerous or visible listings.
Step 2: Opt-Out or Demand Removal — Site by Site
Each broker has a different process.
Some allow removal via:
- Online forms
- Email requests
- Fax (yes, still)
- Identity verification
- Legal demand
Others ignore you completely unless you know how to phrase your request.
We handle it all — manually and professionally — until it’s gone.
Step 3: Suppress & Replace the Listings in Google Search
Once the data’s gone from the source, we get it out of the search engine too.
We:
- Submit de-indexing requests to Google.com.au
- Flood your name with clean, relevant SEO content
- Use schema and structured markup to own Page 1 with verified content you control
- Create online trust signals that bury shady data trails
Step 4: Set Up Privacy Firewalls to Keep You Protected
We build a long-term solution — not just a band-aid.

Don’t Fall for These Common Myths
“If I ignore it, it’ll disappear.”
Wrong. These sites grow over time. The longer it’s live, the more it spreads.
“It’s just public data — no big deal.”
Wrong. People use it to stalk, shame, and discredit.
“One opt-out request is enough.”
Wrong. They often re-upload your info months later unless you stay on top of it.
