We find what's exposed. You stay protected.
Your home address, phone, and family are for sale on people-search sites right now. Bighound finds every exposure, gets it taken down, and stands watch so it stays gone — for you and everyone under your roof.
Invitation-only — we keep the circle small on purpose.
The problem
People-search brokers quietly compile your home address, phone numbers, email, age, relatives, and every place you've lived — then publish it for anyone to buy. Here's the kind of profile they sell:
A real one is yours in minutes — the brokers already made it public. Bighound is how you take it back.
Nonstop spam & scam calls
Your number gets sold and re-sold. The robocalls, spam texts, and "your car's warranty" scams never let up.
Scams that actually work
Phishing built from your real name, address, and relatives is the kind that gets past you — and past your parents.
Stalking & doxxing
Your home address, put in the open for anyone with a grudge, an ex, or a following.
Swatting
A fake 911 emergency dispatched to a real address — yours — with armed police at the door.
SIM-swap & identity theft
Phone, email, and birth year are the keys to your password resets — and enough to open accounts as you.
It targets your family
Kids, partners, parents — everyone is in the same dossier, cross-linked and searchable.
It grows back
Even after a takedown, brokers repopulate from public records every 3–6 months. A one-time opt-out doesn't hold.
DIY is a treadmill
Dozens of brokers, each with its own opt-out maze — doing it by hand across all of them, forever, is a part-time job.
How it works
01 — Hunt
We match each person in your household across people-search brokers, breach corpora, and the open web — the whole picture of what the wild can see, tied to the right person and de-duplicated.
You get one exposure report per household member: every site, every field, ranked by risk.
02 — Scrub
Automated where a broker allows it. Where a broker gates removal behind a CAPTCHA or phone step, it becomes a one-click item on your worklist — we never defeat bot checks, and we show the effort up front.
Statutory-deadline brokers (CA DELETE Act / DROP) are flagged so nothing slips.
03 — Watch
Broker data regenerates on a 3–6 month half-life, so we re-scan on a schedule, re-fire removals, and nudge you the moment something new surfaces.
Removal is a loop, not a one-shot — and Bighound runs the loop for you.
Built for households
Data brokers profile your household as a unit — cross-linking you, your partner, your kids, and your parents. Bighound protects it the same way: not one person at a time, but everyone under your roof, together.
Set up in minutes
Add each family member you're responsible for — partner, kids, parents — with their consent recorded. One dashboard watches over all of them.
Made for the people you protect
Minors and older relatives are the easiest to expose and the least able to defend themselves. Bighound is built to cover them, not just the tech-savvy adult who signed up.
Grows by trust
Bighound spreads the way trust does — the people already in bring in the people they'd vouch for. No public signup, no strangers.
Why Bighound
Most removal services cost $8–25 a month — and some of them run, or partner with, the very data brokers they promise to clean up. Bighound is donation-funded: no paywalls, no tiers, no billing, no ads. We never sell, broker, or share your data. A "chip in" link offsets the real costs — that's the whole model.
| Bighound | Typical removal service | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free · donation-funded | $8–25 / month |
| Business model | Not a data company — never sells or brokers your data | Some run or partner with data brokers |
| Built for | Your whole household, natively | Individuals; family as a paid add-on |
| Access | Invitation-only — small, vouched, low-risk | Public signup for anyone |
| Ads & upsells | None | Common |
| Your data at rest | Encrypted, isolated per household, minimized | Varies — often opaque |
Category-level comparison; specifics vary by provider. The point stands: we don't profit from your data, and there's nothing to sell you.
Why I built this
I didn't want another subscription. I already pay for too many — and keeping my family safe shouldn't be one more monthly bill.
But I did want them off the people-search sites: the spam calls to stop, the scam texts to dry up, and a lot less lying around for anyone with bad intentions. So I built the thing I actually wanted — free, invitation-only, and made to cover a whole household.
Built like it holds what it holds
Good to know
Nothing. Bighound is donation-funded — no paywalls, no tiers, no billing. A "chip in" link offsets real costs, and it's entirely optional.
Yes — that's the point. Add the household members you're responsible for (with their consent), and one dashboard watches over all of them.
Ask someone already using Bighound, or request one and we'll be in touch. We keep it small on purpose.
That's the entire design: invitation-only, encrypted, per-household isolation, and we never store SSNs, full birth dates, financial accounts, or government IDs. See our security posture.
