- Removed DeleteMe as a recommended data removal service due to their abysmal results on the recent Consumer Reports research.
- Added Optery because of their near-on-par-with-Easy-Opt-Outs results on said research.
- MDR & DDG are still pending our own investigation.
- Clarified this on the page itself and included a link to Optery's own manual opt-out resources.
- This update marks the first time TNO has been updated from 30,000 feet. What a time to be alive.

 ### Automatic Data Removal
 
-Below I have listed several data removal sites who I believe are worth consideration. This decision is based on several criteria. First, these sites will remove data like name, phone, number, and home address. Second, these are organizations who I believe have demonstrated competency and valuing privacy. Third, they do a scan and removal request at least once a quarter. You can go with others if you feel more comfortable, but as the above-linked research showed, not all data removal services are created equal. Be sure to investigate what data they remove and how often. 
+Below I have listed several data removal sites who I believe are worth consideration. This decision is based on several criteria. First, these sites will remove multiple forms of data that I find to be particularly sensitive, such as name, phone, number, and home address. Second, these are organizations who have demonstrated a high removal rate (over 50%) using Consumer Reports' methodology. Third, they do a scan and removal request at least once a quarter. You can go with others if you feel more comfortable, but as the above-linked research showed, not all data removal services are created equal. Be sure to investigate what data they remove and how often. 
 
-Unlike most other pages on this website, I actually do list these services in order of recommendation. Based on the previously-mentioned research, EasyOptOuts is by far the most effective service (and least expensive). However, for those who would prefer someone else for whatever reason, I also suggest MyDataRemoval or DeleteMe as I believe both have shown a commitment to privacy (note that MDR was not researched in the Consumer Reports research cited).
+Unlike most other pages on this website, I actually do list these services in order of recommendation. Based on the previously-mentioned research, EasyOptOuts is by far the most effective service (and least expensive). Optery is a close second, but significantly more expensive. However, for those who would prefer someone else for whatever reason, I also suggest MyDataRemoval or DuckDuckGo Privacy Pro. Please note that neither of those services were included in Consumer Reports' research and at this time, I am manually investigating their efficacy. I will be updating this site once I have more solid results to compare with.

 _Note: For DuckDuckGo Privacy Pro, I do not recommend using the included VPN. You can see which VPNs I recommend [here](/guides/less-important/vpns/)._
 
 ### Manual Data Removal
 
-For manual removal, there are a number of resources. Michael Bazzell offers a [free workbook](https://inteltechniques.com/links.html), and Yael Grauer offers the [Big Ass Data Broker Opt-Out List](https://github.com/yaelwrites/Big-Ass-Data-Broker-Opt-Out-List) that you can use to help scrub this information. These resources contain reasonably comprehensive lists of known people search sites, data brokers, and ways to opt out as well as other resources for finding and removing data and keeping it removed. These lists are not and cannot ever be truly, 100% complete. New sites are popping up constantly. [DeleteMe](https://joindeleteme.com/blog/opt-out-guides/) and [MyDataRemoval](https://www.mydataremoval.com/diy-guide/) also offer their own opt-out guides you can add as a resource.

 In addition to targeting people search sites, I also recommend using Google (or another effective search engine) to search for your name, phone number, email address, and/or phyiscal address in quotes. The more data you remove, the more the old, forgotten, and niche stuff will rise to the surface. This may include forgotten social media posts, accounts, or new, smaller public data sites.
