What the Experts are saying

“Taking control of our data means reclaiming control over our lives and the choices we make. MePrism Privacy makes it easy for people to remove unconsented data from the internet. It's a critical step towards a more equitable data ecosystem in which consumers own and benefit from their data.”

“Today’s technology gives governments and corporations robust capabilities for mass surveillance. Mass surveillance is dangerous. It enables discrimination based on almost any criteria. It is being done without offering citizens recourse or any real ability to opt out. MePrism Privacy is a step in the right direction.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions about the measurement.

Answers about the engagement, the results, the comparison methodology, and what the practitioner report means for enterprise buyers.

Priwall by mePrism's stated removal calculations are covered by an AICPA AT-C 215 agreed-upon procedures engagement performed by Sensiba LLP. The practitioner report describes the specified procedures and factual findings so readers can evaluate the work directly.

Priwall by mePrism's reported removal rate is greater than 92% at 30 days and greater than 99% at 90 days across a representative sample of Priwall's enterprise customers. Sensiba LLP independently recalculated the reported 30-day and 90-day removal rates under the agreed-upon procedures engagement.

The median time to first confirmed removal in the measured population was 4 days.

The engagement covered a representative sample of Priwall's enterprise customers. The procedures included a Confirmator workflow walkthrough, an observed population extract, a 25-record source-and-broker verification sample, independent recalculation of the 30-day and 90-day removal rates, and a separate recalculation for the Consumer Reports 2024 source set.

AICPA AT-C Section 215 is the AICPA standard for agreed-upon procedures engagements. In this type of engagement, a CPA practitioner performs specific procedures on defined subject matter and reports factual findings from those procedures. The report is designed to be read alongside its stated scope and procedures.

No. Priwall by mePrism's AICPA AT-C Section 215 agreed-upon procedures engagement is a specified-procedure engagement, not a financial-statement audit or a broad evaluation of the company. The practitioner report tells readers what Sensiba LLP did and what it found within the defined scope.

Consumer Reports' 2024 Data Defense study was an independent consumer-journalism test that evaluated seven paid services across 13 people-search sites with 32 volunteers over four months. Priwall was not included in that cohort. Priwall's practitioner engagement was performed on tracked enterprise data, and its CR-13 subset uses the same named source set for source-level context. The populations and study designs remain different, so the comparison is presented as context rather than a ranking.

Incogni's August 2025 Deloitte report used ISAE 3000 (Revised) and addressed stated process and volume claims, including broker coverage, request cadence, and requests processed. Priwall by mePrism's Sensiba LLP practitioner report uses AICPA AT-C Section 215 procedures to recalculate removal-rate outcome figures and test a defined sample of recorded removal statuses. The standards and scopes differ.

Priwall by mePrism uses the confirmed-removal definition stated in its methodology and practitioner report. The reported calculations are based on the records and sources specified by the engagement procedures rather than an unstated estimate of the open web.

The practitioner report gives procurement teams a defined basis for evaluating the disclosed removal-rate figures, including the measured population, specified procedures, reported calculations, and factual findings. It does not replace a buyer's security review, legal review, privacy assessment, commercial diligence, or service-level evaluation. It provides evidence for the efficacy claim within its stated scope.
