Data brokers which are a huge hassle to get cleared

Many data brokers, such as pipl require you to chase down all of the source material and ask for it to be removed. Others require you to submit a scanned form of ID like a driver's license, send them a notarized document by mail, or register an account on their site (which means providing them with more personal data...). If you want to try removing yourself from a data broker site and are required to register, consider using a service like 10 Minute Mail instead of providing your personal email address.
