Founder Quotes Available for Use

"Most people have no idea their home address and phone number are being sold online right now for less than a cup of coffee. Data brokers operate legally in the shadows — and fraudsters are their biggest customers."

"We built Silent Erase because the tools to protect your privacy should be as easy to use as the threat is widespread. UK residents have powerful legal rights under GDPR — they just need someone to help them use those rights."

"The elderly fraud crisis in the UK is enabled by data brokers. Scammers buy address lists of elderly people living alone and target them systematically. Removing that data is one of the most effective protective steps any family can take."
