VALT is one app with two parts: a DVPN and data removal. DVPN Pick a city and tap Connect. Your traffic runs through a node there, run by an independent operator, not one company. Your internet provider sees that server, not the sites you visit. VALT doesn't keep the sites you visit either. Data removal Fill in removal setup once. VALT files opt-out requests with data brokers and people-search sites for you, checks them again every month, and files again when a listing comes back. Setup never asks for a Social Security number, a government ID or a phone number. Privacy without the homework Sign up with your email and a six-digit code. There's no password. Each part is its own product with its own plan. If you used the old VALT app, sign in with the same email: your plan and your removal history come with you. Data removal is for adults 18 and over, in the US, Canada outside Quebec, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
