Your data is for sale.
Hundreds of data brokers profit from your personal information. Penumbras finds your listings, submits removal requests, and educates you on staying protected.
See where your data is exposed
One guided scan checks dozens of public sources and compiles a detailed exposure dossier: what was found, why it matters, and exactly what can be removed.
Privacy first. We scan only lawful, publicly available sources and minimize what we store.
Protection by the numbers.
Real-time metrics from our scanning and removal engine.
Right now, someone you've never met
has your home address.
They bought it for less than a coffee. Along with your phone number, your relatives' names, your estimated income. Enough to answer your bank's security questions, impersonate your family, or fuel targeted scams.
Data brokers maintain profiles on hundreds of millions of Americans, often thousands of data points per person. The brokers are legal. The listings are public. And nobody told you.
This isn't theoretical.
Daniel Anderl, 20, was shot and killed at his family's home in 2020. The gunman found the judge's home address through publicly available online sources. He was looking for Daniel's mother, a federal judge.
Congress responded with Daniel's Law. Then the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security Act. Then PADFAA, passed 414-0. The laws exist now. The machinery to enforce them doesn't. That's the gap.
Why Now
Breach Fatigue Peaks
The average American's data has been breached 5+ times. The numbness is cracking.
Regulatory Surge
PADFAA, DELETE Act, Daniel's Law. Six new state laws in 18 months.
AI Amplification
LLMs make broker data 10x more exploitable. Deepfake + home address = new attack surface.
Trust Gap
Incumbents charge premium prices while the market lacks transparency. The opportunity is wide open.
They assembled your profile.

Education drives retention.
Subscribers who complete at least one course retain at 2x the rate of those who don't. Education isn't a cost center. It's the growth engine.
The government already agrees.
They just can't build the machinery fast enough. That's our job.
FTC warns Congress: one broker holds 700 billion data elements. Recommends legislation. Nothing happens.
Daniel Anderl, 20, killed at his family's home by a man who found the address through publicly available online sources. New Jersey passes Daniel's Law.
Federal Daniel Anderl Act signed. Congress admits the broker pipeline kills people.
California DELETE Act (SB 362). The largest state demands one-click broker deletion.
PADFAA passes the House 414-0 and is signed into law (Public Law 118-50), banning data broker transfers of sensitive data to foreign adversary countries.
CA DROP portal launches for California residents to submit deletion requests to 500+ registered brokers. Broker processing begins August 1, 2026.
Their Words, Not Ours
“One broker held 700 billion data elements. Warned the data could facilitate fraud, stalking, and discrimination.”
“Nearly $21 billion lost to internet crime. Americans over 60 were hit hardest: $7.7 billion. A 26% increase over the prior year.”
“PADFAA signed into law (Public Law 118-50). Bans broker data transfers of sensitive personal data to foreign adversary countries.”
We remove all of this from data brokers.
Every piece of personal information that brokers collect and sell. Penumbras scans for all of it, then sends opt-out requests to remove it.
Hover over any category to see it struck through. That is what Penumbras does to your data broker profiles.
Trust built on proof, not slogans
We do not run fabricated testimonials, invented press logos, or made-up customer counts. The numbers below are pulled live from our own platform, and they only appear once they are real.
Grounded in real law
Every regulatory claim links to its primary source: Daniel’s Law, PADFAA (Public Law 118-50), the California DELETE Act, and FTC reports.

We tell you exactly what a scan checks, what it can confirm, and what it cannot. Removal success depends on each broker’s policies, and we say so.
