About DeleteMe

DeleteMe is a rapidly growing SaaS privacy business operating globally and remotely – we are the emerging leader based on customers and revenues in a fast-growing nascent category of consumer and enterprise security Privacy Services. What we do - our mission - matters because we are restoring a sense of privacy, fairness, and control to personal data in the possession of others. Easier, simpler, control underpinned by a suite of new data privacy laws being passed worldwide will play a part in greater personal security, freedom, and in stronger democracies in an era where data collection is at unprecedented levels. This is what our work and brand stand for and we are building a large, sustainable, for-profit business to catalyze this. We have strong B2C and B2B businesses with respective product offerings informed by feedback from an active customer base growing between 30% and 200% year/year.
