Watch out for
- Timing differs by page. The FAQ says a few business days; other pages say 24 hours.
- Records can reappear when data partners supply data that differs enough, such as different spellings or addresses. SpyFly says to repeat the removal when that happens.
- SpyFly says its own records are separate from public records, which can still appear in background searches.
- The registry lists publicrecordreports.com for the same operator, so check that site too.

Does it come back?
Yes, possibly. SpyFly says data partners can send new data about you that differs enough in spelling or address, and in that case you should repeat the removal process.

California: the Delete Act. Data brokers that hold information on Californians must register with the state. California residents can use DROP, the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, to send one deletion request to every registered broker at once.
Other US states. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and a growing list of other states give residents a similar right to delete. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also make data brokers register with the state. Where no state law applies, the broker's own opt-out above still works for most people.
