About
Why GhostVault exists.
Personal details can appear across a large network of brokers and public websites, and the people who profit from it hope you never notice. We built GhostVault to make removing yourself as easy as it already is to be added.
The problem
The data-broker industry is estimated at $280B annually, spanning 4,000+ companies that compile over 240M consumer profiles from public records, app trackers, and purchased datasets. These profiles get re-sold to advertisers, background check sites, spam call operations, and identity thieves, usually for cents per lookup.
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), strengthened by SB 362 in 2024, gives Californians (and anyone any broker processes California data for) a legal right to demand their data be deleted. The catch: each broker has a different opt-out process, different verification emails, and most re-list you within 30–60 days. Doing it yourself takes 40–60 hours the first time, and then it's an ongoing chore.
GhostVault automates the whole cycle.
What we do
We're a registered CCPA authorized agent. When you sign up, we:
- Scan supported identity and public-web sources to find where you're exposed
- Prepare and track eligible privacy requests using the rights available for your jurisdiction
- Track delivery, replies, deadlines, and verified outcomes separately
- Re-scan every month and re-submit when brokers re-list you
- Check verified emails against HIBP and configured commercial leak intelligence
The team
Zachariah Mithani
Founder and engineer
Zachariah built GhostVault to make privacy rights usable without asking people to spend dozens of hours finding brokers, writing demands, and tracking replies. He works directly on the product, the removal infrastructure, and the systems that turn broker responses into receipts customers can inspect. He is also a cofounder and engineer at Aplos AI.
Our principles
- Minimum data. We collect what's needed to send deletion demands. Nothing else. Full inventory on our security page.
- No dark patterns. Cancel from your dashboard in one click. No hidden trials, no month-end traps, no "retention offers" designed to waste your time.
- Honest pricing. The exposure scan is free and complete cleanup is $5.99/month or $59/year. No tiers, surprise upsells, or required annual commitment.
- Receipts, not promises. Your dashboard shows every deletion request we've sent, every response, and your monthly trend.
