Quick answer

What does a personal information OSINT wipe actually do?

It starts with an audit of everything publicly findable about you, from data broker listings to old social media and public records. We then submit removal and opt-out requests, tighten account settings, remove what you control and document what cannot be removed. The $900 remote engagement is described on our Mississippi pricing page.

01Who calls us

Who in Mississippi Benefits From a Smaller Online Footprint

Most clients are ordinary people with a specific reason. A woman leaving an abusive relationship in Rankin County wants to move without her new address appearing on a people-search site. A Jackson attorney who handles contentious family cases wants her home off the internet. A physician on the Coast has been targeted by an angry patient, and a casino manager has been threatened by a fired employee. Our stalking investigations handle the cases where the threat is already active, while this service reduces what can be found in the first place.

Executives and public figures make up another group. Business leaders in Madison and Hinds counties are increasingly targeted by fraudsters who use public information to impersonate them, and families of people in public roles are often exposed through their relatives' social media. We tailor the work to the threat. A personal information OSINT wipe in Mississippi for a survivor looks different from one for a company president, and our corporate espionage team coordinates when an executive's exposure is part of a wider business risk.

02The legal landscape

What Mississippi Privacy Law Does and Does Not Provide

Mississippi has no comprehensive consumer data privacy law. Bills such as SB 2500, the proposed Mississippi Consumer Data Protection Act introduced in 2025, did not become law, according to privacy-law trackers that your counsel can confirm. That means Mississippi residents have no state-law right to make a data broker delete their information. Many brokers honor opt-out requests anyway, and some extend rights granted under other states' laws to everyone, so a careful removal campaign still achieves a great deal. Our guide to what investigators can legally do explains how we work within those limits.

Mississippi does have narrower protections. Its data breach notification statute, Miss. Code Ann. § 75-24-29, generally requires notice when certain personal information is exposed, and federal laws such as the FCRA govern consumer reporting agencies. Survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking can apply to the Attorney General's Address Confidentiality Program, which provides a substitute mailing address for use with state and local agencies and an exemption from public records disclosure. Our cyberbullying and harassment page describes how those protections fit with criminal statutes.

  • No comprehensive state privacy law
  • Broker opt-outs are often honored voluntarily
  • Breach notification under § 75-24-29
  • Address Confidentiality Program for survivors

03Step one

The Exposure Audit: Seeing Yourself as a Stalker Would

The audit asks a simple question: if someone wanted to find you, what could they learn in an afternoon? We search data brokers and people-search sites, social media accounts, tagged photos, old forum posts, business filings, professional directories and news coverage. We look at relatives' and friends' public posts, which often reveal more than your own accounts. We check property and court records and note whether your home address is visible. Our skip tracing specialists use these same sources to find people, which is exactly why they know where to look, and our missing person team sees how quickly a profile can be assembled.

The audit produces a written exposure report ranked by risk. A home address on a broker site with a photo of the house ranks higher than an old professional bio. Patterns matter too: a phone number that appears on a dozen sites usually traces back to a single data source, and removing that source can collapse many listings. Clients often find the report alarming, but it is the map for everything that follows. When the audit reveals that someone is actively watching you, our surveillance detection support can help assess the threat.

  • Data brokers and people-search sites
  • Social media, tags and relatives' posts
  • Business filings and professional listings
  • Property and court records

04Step two

Opt-Outs, Removal Requests and Account Hardening

We submit opt-out and removal requests to data brokers and people-search sites, following each site's process and documenting every submission. We ask search engines to remove results that expose personal contact information where their policies allow. We help you delete or lock down old social media accounts, remove location tags and tighten privacy settings, and we contact friends or relatives, with your permission, about posts that reveal your address or routine. Our Mississippi pricing schedule includes this work in the $900 engagement.

Account hardening comes next. We review the accounts that would let someone impersonate you or reset your passwords, such as email, phone carrier and financial accounts, and recommend stronger authentication and recovery settings. We look for your email addresses and phone numbers in known data breaches, since exposed credentials are often the first step in account takeover, and crypto and investment scams frequently start that way. Identity theft is a felony under Miss. Code Ann. § 97-19-85, but prevention is far easier than recovery, and our elder fraud team sees the damage when it is skipped.

05Honest limits

What Cannot Be Removed and How We Plan Around It

Some information is public by law. Mississippi's Public Records Act, Miss. Code Ann. § 25-61-5, generally gives any person access to public records, and deeds and other land records kept by chancery clerks remain available. Court filings in circuit, chancery and county courts are searchable through the Mississippi Electronic Courts system, although remote access is closed for some categories, including divorce and custody. Voter registration lists are used to build jury pools and are not private. We tell you plainly what will remain, and our Hinds County team explains local record practices in Jackson.

Planning around public records is often more effective than fighting them. Future property can be titled in a way counsel recommends, a mailing address can replace a home address on documents that allow it, and survivors may qualify for the Address Confidentiality Program. Data brokers also repopulate listings from public sources, so removal is never a one-time event. Our Madison County investigators and Rankin County team see these patterns daily in fast-growing suburbs where new home purchases quickly appear online.

06When it is already happening

Doxxing, Harassment and Protective Orders in Mississippi

When someone has already posted your address or family details, speed matters. We identify where the information appears, preserve evidence with dates and links before anything is taken down, and submit platform reports and removal requests. Mississippi's cyberstalking statute, § 97-45-15, makes certain electronic threats and repeated harassing communications a felony, and the stalking statute, § 97-3-107, reaches a course of conduct that includes electronic contact. We document what happened so counsel or law enforcement can decide which applies. Our online harassment investigations often run alongside this work.

Protective orders are filed under Chapter 93-21 in municipal, justice, county or chancery court, and the evidence we preserve can support the petition. If you are in danger, call 911 first. We do not provide legal advice, but we work with your attorney or advocate so the documentation is usable. When a harasser hides behind anonymous accounts, our attribution work can sometimes identify them through lawful public research, and our DeSoto County team handles cases that cross into Tennessee.

07Staying private

Re-Listing, Monitoring and Long-Term Privacy Habits

Data brokers rebuild profiles from public records, purchases and app data, so listings often reappear months after removal. We recommend a follow-up review and teach you how to spot and remove new listings yourself. We also give you a short set of habits: separate email addresses for different purposes, a mailing address for deliveries, care with location sharing and caution with apps that ask for contacts. Clients in custody disputes need extra care, because posts can become evidence, and our custody investigation guide explains why.

Family members matter as much as the client. A teenager's public account or a spouse's tagged photos can undo careful work, so we include household members in the plan with their consent. For businesses, we can extend the work to several executives as part of a security review. Every engagement ends with a written summary of what was removed, what remains and what to watch. Our workplace surveillance team can add on-site security observations for clients who face threats at work as well as online, and our Lauderdale County investigators assist Meridian clients.

  • Simple habits that keep exposure low
  • Household members included with consent

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you completely erase me from the internet?

No one can do that honestly. Some information is public by law, such as land records and many court filings, and data brokers rebuild profiles over time. What we can do is remove or reduce most broker and people-search listings, lock down your own accounts, take down information you control and plan around what remains, which usually makes you far harder to find.

Does Mississippi give me a legal right to delete my data?

Not generally. Mississippi has no comprehensive consumer privacy law, and proposed bills such as SB 2500 in 2025 did not pass. Many brokers still honor opt-out requests from anyone, and some apply other states' privacy rights nationwide. Our guide to Mississippi recording and privacy rules covers related protections that do exist.

What is the Address Confidentiality Program?

It is a program run by the Mississippi Attorney General's office for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. Participants receive a substitute mailing address that state and local agencies accept, and the program provides an exemption from public records disclosure for their location. We can explain how it fits with an OSINT wipe, but enrollment goes through the program itself.

How much does a personal information OSINT wipe cost?

The remote engagement is $900, covering the exposure audit, opt-outs and removal requests, account hardening guidance and a written summary. Urgent doxxing response or extended attribution work is billed at $100 per hour. You receive the scope and price in writing before anything starts, and our investigation cost guide explains how hourly work is estimated.

How long does it take?

The audit and first round of removals usually take a few weeks, because each broker and platform processes requests on its own schedule and some require verification. We do not quote turnaround in hours. Urgent items, such as a home address posted by a harasser, are handled first. Re-listings can appear later, which is why we recommend a follow-up review.

Can you find out who doxxed me?

Sometimes. We use lawful public research, such as account histories, writing patterns, linked profiles and timing, to attribute anonymous accounts when the evidence supports it. We never hack accounts or use pretexts. When attribution requires records held by a platform, counsel may need to pursue them through legal process, and our attorney services page explains how we support that step.

Will removing my information affect my credit or court cases?

Opting out of people-search sites does not affect credit reports, which are governed by the FCRA and handled by consumer reporting agencies. It also does not change court records. Clients in active litigation should keep accounts and evidence intact rather than deleting them, and we coordinate with counsel so nothing relevant to a case is destroyed.

Do you work with families and children?

Yes, with consent. Household members' public accounts and tagged photos often reveal more than the client's own profiles, so we review them and recommend changes. For minors we work through parents. A family plan usually includes simple habits for everyone, such as limiting location sharing and keeping the home address off public posts.

Does Mississippi license investigators who do privacy work?

Mississippi does not license private investigators at the state level, though local business privilege licenses may apply. Delator Group is a licensed Tennessee private investigation firm and applies Tennessee's licensing standard everywhere it works. Clients comparing providers for sensitive privacy work can use our guide to hiring an investigator without a state license.

Is my information safe with you during the process?

We collect only what the work requires, store it securely and use it only for your engagement. Opt-out requests sometimes require confirming identity details, and we explain each one before submitting it. At the end, we confirm what we retain and why. Our Mississippi overview describes how the firm handles client files from its Nashville headquarters.
