How the scan works
IdentiGuard runs a real search of public people-search directories using the name and location you enter. You confirm each match yourself before any opt-out request is sent.
Stages in the workflow
Re-check cadence on paid plans
Four stages
01
We query public people-search directories with your first name, last name, and optional city and state. Each listing that comes back is shown as returned by the source.
02
You review the matches and mark the ones that belong to you. We exclude false positives so opt-out requests only target records you have confirmed.
03
For each confirmed listing, we submit the directory's removal request. Processing times vary by site, and some directories take several weeks to act.
04
Directories refresh their data over time, so records can reappear. Paid plans re-run the search on a recurring schedule and flag any listing that returns.
Boundaries and timing
Scanning relies on what people-search directories publish, and those sources change without notice. A listing may be missing from one scan and appear in the next, and a directory can take time to honor a removal request. We report what each search returns rather than estimating coverage.
Removal is not guaranteed on every site, and we will not claim a listing is gone until a later scan confirms it. Where setup is still pending, we say so plainly, so you always know which steps are working and which still need attention.
