HomeCloak gets your home off the internet. Real-estate sites keep photos of your home's interior and exterior online for years after you move in. People-search sites tie your name to your address. Map services show your front door to anyone. HomeCloak sends removal requests to every site that shows your home or your household's personal information, follows up until they act, and keeps re-filing for as long as you're subscribed. WHAT WE DO FOR YOU • Send removal requests to 900+ listing sites, people-search networks, and registered data brokers the moment you subscribe • Attach a signed authorized-agent letter to every request so sites can't send it back • Read every reply and answer follow-up questions automatically • Follow up at 14 days, send a formal notice at 30 days, and prepare a complaint packet at 45 days • Re-file anything that comes back, and add every new site we discover WHAT ONLY YOU CAN DO (ABOUT 40 MINUTES, WITH EXACT STEPS) A few sites only accept requests from the homeowner: Google Street View, Bing Streetside, the MLS, and the big listing sites. We give you the exact clicks for each, and a ready-to-send letter for the MLS. Do a couple a day and you're done in a week. YOUR CLOAK LEVEL One number shows how much of your home and household is hidden, with the four things that move it: home photos, street view, your name and address, and data brokers. ONE PLAN, YOUR WHOLE HOUSEHOLD $109.99 a year covers up to 3 properties and everyone who lives with you. The competition charges per person and doesn't touch your home's photos. Purchases are made on homecloak.us. The app is free and shows your progress, your steps, and every reply.
