Best data removal services for Europe, compared

Most data removal services were built for the US, where people search sites are the main problem. In Europe, your data mostly sits with sales databases, ad data companies and credit bureaus, and the tool that works is a GDPR request. Here is how the main services compare for someone living in Europe. We make HenryProtect, so we've tried to be fair and list where others are stronger.

Questions

What is the best data removal service in Europe?

It depends on what you need. Incogni covers the most brokers in Europe and has the longest track record. HenryProtect is free during beta, focuses on Europe, and adds a risk score, leak checks and a scam check. DeleteMe, Optery and Privacy Bee are strongest in the US.

Do US data removal services work in Europe?

Yes. You can send GDPR requests yourself with our free letter generator and opt-out guides. A service saves you time and does the follow-ups.
