YDYL /// YOUR DATA, YOUR LIFE

Every light represents a company that has your data

This is the data broker economy, rendered from the official registries. 600+ companies collect and sell records about you. Most have never met you. All of them have a legal obligation to let you out, and every dossier below shows you exactly how.

How to use this site

Look them up. Every registered broker, with what they collect, who they buy from and sell to, and a creepiness score that means something.

Get out. Direct opt-out links, verified steps, the demanded verification, real turnaround times, and a pre-written deletion letter for every entry.

Know the catch. Every dossier tells you why the removal won't stick, because pretending otherwise is how the removal industry keeps you subscribed.

The August 1 deadline

California's DROP platform starts forcing brokers to process deletion requests on August 1, 2026. One request, 600+ brokers, $200 per day in penalties for each ignored request. If you're a Californian, this is the strongest single action available to you.Read the explainer →

Why YDYL exists

The data broker industry runs on one asymmetry. They know everything about you, and you can't even get a list of their names. YDYL is the list, built from the government registries brokers are legally required to sign, with the exits marked.

We collect nothing. No accounts, no scans, no cookies that follow you. The site works the way we think the internet should.

And the honest disclosure. YDYL is built by the team behind Sya, a continuous personal intelligence platform that manages this problem for you, so broker removal never becomes your quarterly hobby. Everything here is free and complete without it. Sya is for when you're done doing this by hand.
