Get help with Delister.

Answers to common questions about scanning, removals, subscriptions, and your data — plus how to reach us directly if you're still stuck.

Because Delister has no servers, we can't look at your account, your scan results, or your data to debug a problem — we genuinely can't see it. If something's wrong, the fastest fix is usually a screenshot and the steps below.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Delister has no login, no account, and no backend to sign up for. Open the app, enter your info, and scan. Everything is tied to your device, not to an account with us.

What information do I need to enter?

Your name and state are required — those two alone let Delister check most brokers. Email, phone, and address are optional and improve match accuracy on brokers that index that data too.

Should I save my profile or re-enter it each time?

Saving stores your profile in the iOS Keychain, encrypted by your device's Secure Enclave — it never syncs to iCloud or leaves your phone. It just saves you re-typing before each scan. If you'd rather nothing persist between sessions, leave it unsaved and it lives only in memory until you close the app.

A scan seems stuck or is taking a long time

Delister scans brokers in parallel by loading their actual websites, so speed depends on your connection and how those sites are responding at that moment. If a scan hangs for more than a couple of minutes: check you have a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi is more reliable than a weak cellular signal), close and reopen the app, then re-run the scan. If one specific broker consistently stalls, it may have changed its site — let us know which one so we can update it.

Delister found a result that isn't me (false positive)

Tap the result to view the matched record, then use Not Me to dismiss it. Dismissed results are remembered so they won't reappear on future scans — you can review or restore them anytime in Settings → Managed Results.

Delister didn't find a listing I know exists (false negative)

This usually means the broker's site changed its layout, requires a slightly different search format, or that broker isn't in our registry of 54 yet. Send us the broker's name and URL — since our broker data ships as a versioned file, we can often fix a matching issue in an update without needing a full app release.

Why does Delister need to load broker websites at all?

It's the same thing you'd do manually in Safari — search each broker for your name — automated across 54 sites at once, in isolated, cookie-free sessions on your device. See our Privacy Policy for the full technical breakdown.

An opt-out form didn't auto-fill correctly

Broker sites change their forms without notice, which can break auto-fill on a specific field. You can always fill the remaining fields by hand — the browser view is fully interactive. If a broker's form is consistently broken, tell us which one and we'll fix the selectors.

The removal email didn't open, or opened blank

Email-based removals hand off to your iPhone's default Mail app with the message pre-drafted. If nothing opens, confirm you have a mail account configured under Settings → Mail on your device. As a fallback, use the copy button to copy the drafted email text and paste it into any mail app or webmail yourself.

I submitted a removal — how long until my data is actually gone?

It varies by broker — some process instantly, others take days to weeks, and a few require an email confirmation step. We recommend re-scanning every 30–60 days, since brokers can also re-list data they've re-scraped from public records.

A broker is asking for more verification than I expected

Some brokers require ID verification or a confirmation click for legal compliance. Delister gets you to that step correctly filled out, but the broker's own verification process is outside our control — that request is coming from them, not from us.

What's included in the free version vs. Pro?

Free scans all 54 brokers and shows which have your data, with a risk level. Pro unlocks the detailed match view, auto-filled removal forms, pre-drafted opt-out emails, and unlimited re-scans.

How do I cancel or manage my subscription?

All subscriptions are billed and managed by Apple, not by us — we never see your payment details. Go to iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions, choose Delister, and cancel anytime. Access continues until the end of the current billing period.

I paid for Pro but the app still shows the paywall

Try Settings → Restore Purchases first — this re-checks your entitlement with Apple directly. If it still doesn't unlock: confirm you're signed into the same Apple ID used for the purchase, force-quit and reopen the app, and if you're on a TestFlight build, note that sandbox subscriptions renew on an accelerated schedule and can occasionally get out of sync — reinstalling the TestFlight build usually resolves it.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com, or via Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your device.

How do scan reminders work?

You can set a reminder to re-scan every 14, 30, 60, or 90 days from Settings → Scan Reminders. These are scheduled locally on your device — there's no push server, so nothing about your reminder schedule is sent anywhere.

I'm not receiving reminder notifications

Check iPhone Settings → Delister → Notifications is turned on. If you initially declined the notification permission prompt, iOS won't re-ask — you'll need to enable it manually from that same Settings screen.

How do I permanently erase everything Delister has stored?

Go to Settings → Erase All Data. This removes your saved profile from the Keychain, clears preferences, and wipes session history — all on-device, instantly. There's no backend copy to separately delete, because none exists.

What happens to my data if I delete the app?

Unsaved profile data disappears the moment you close the app. A saved profile is removed from the Keychain when you delete the app. Either way, deleting Delister leaves nothing behind — there's no account or server record tied to you.

Is there anything you can see about my usage?

No. Delister has no analytics, crash reporting, or telemetry of any kind. When you contact support, the only information we have is whatever you choose to include in your message.
