How to Opt Out and Remove Your Information from IDStrong
IDStrong provides an opt‑out or “data removal” option. Their website includes a page for “Do Not Sell / Share My Personal Information” and a public removal form.
However, removal may be limited by dependencies on public records and third‑party data brokers: even after opting out, information already aggregated elsewhere might persist — especially if it comes from public or government‑accessible sources, where IDStrong may have limited control.

IDStrong Privacy Risks and How to Remove Your Personal Data
They scrape and aggregate your personal data:
IDStrong collects information from a range of public records sources and third‑party databases, including legal filings, property records, directories, and other publicly accessible datasets. These sources often contain basic personal information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and other identifiers.
They engage in automatic data harvesting:
Beyond simple aggregation, IDStrong markets identity protection services that continuously scan for exposed personal information, including on the dark web and breach lists. While this is presented as protective, it’s also how PII collected elsewhere is fed back into searchable brokers and monitoring tools.
Opting out is possible, but removal is difficult:
Removing your personal data from IDStrong can be challenging and may require repetitive opt‑out submissions. Because your data can be republished or redistributed through third‑party brokers, complete deletion isn’t always guaranteed. This makes services like ongoing privacy monitoring valuable for long‑term protection.
