How to Opt Out and Remove Your Information from Kwold
You can request removal of your personal profile from Kwold by using their opt-out process. Typically this involves locating your profile on Kwold.com, then submitting an opt‑out request via their "Control Profile / Privacy" page or sending an opt‑out request email to erase@kwold.com. Because Kwold aggregates public records and sells access, removal may not stop third‑party services (or copies) from circulating your data.

Kwold Privacy Risks and How to Remove Your Personal Data
They scrape and aggregate your personal data:
Kwold compiles publicly available records — such as court filings, property records, address change data, phone directories — along with other data sources such as business records, online footprints, or purchased third‑party datasets. Then they aggregate this data to build individual profiles containing names, contact info, address history, employment and family links, and when available, public‑records details like arrests or lawsuits.
They engage in automatic data harvesting:
In many cases Kwold uses automated processes (scraping public registries, aggregating various public and commercial data feeds) to continuously update its database. They may also combine multiple identifiers for individuals — such as name, last known city or state, previous addresses, and known relatives — to link disparate records into a single profile. This enables them to reconstruct relatively full personal histories even if some pieces of data are partial.
Opting out is possible, but removal is difficult:
ecause Kwold’s data originates in public records or third‑party datasets — not just user-submitted content — removal is difficult. Even after opting out, your information may continue to reappear through new public records, resales of data to other brokers, or rediscovery by data scrapers. Manual opt‑out may remove a profile from Kwold.com, but does not guarantee that all historical or derivative data is purged from the broader ecosystem.
