Home-based business owners have their personal home address publicly exposed online due to public business registration records scraped by data brokers, and manual opt-out processes are tedious, temporary, and often require sending notarized letters.

Existing data broker opt-out processes are manual, time-consuming, and temporary; removal services are unproven for long-term effectiveness.
