# Remove yourself from data brokers

Have your agent find where your personal and contact info is listed on B2B contact-data sellers and people-search sites, and work through their opt-out requests, from a prompt Peter Yang shared for Grok Bot and other agents.

## Inputs to collect first
Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts.

- Name
- Emails
- Phone
- City

## Instructions

Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket].

Help me remove my personal and contact info from B2B contact-data sellers and people-search brokers (for example Apollo, ZoomInfo, RocketReach, Lusha, ContactOut, Seamless AI, and the big people-search sites). My details: name [name], emails [emails], phone [phone], city [city]. For each site: check whether I'm listed, find its official opt-out or data-deletion page, and either submit the request or give me the exact steps and link. Never create accounts, pay for anything, or share more info than the form needs without asking me first. Finish with a table: site, listed (yes/no/unknown), request sent (yes/no), date, and when to re-check.

## Safety checks (share these with the user)

- Remove names, contact details, account numbers and other personal data the task doesn't need before you paste, and check your AI tool's data and training settings.
- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
- Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed.
