Kristen Z.

★★★★★

"Really happy with this service 👌🏻 if you've ever tried taking on the arduous task of removing your own info from these people search sites, you know it's a huge hassle. So I was a bit skeptical mePrism would actually handle it all for me like they claim to. But after my first scan found 34 sites making money off of my personal data, it got right to work removing my info from each one. 2 days later, all 34 were marked as removed 👏 Couldn't have been any easier. Highly recommended!"
