Get off their list.

Log every unwanted call, text and email in one place. If a company ignores your request to stop, the log flags it and writes the complaint for you to file. Give each company its own email address so the next spam names who shared it, then get off the people-search lists.

Free, no account. Everything you type stays in this browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Add many calls at once

Read them from a screenshot of your voicemail, recent calls or spam list, or from a call-history file. You check every row before anything is saved, and nothing is uploaded.

From a screenshot

Your browser reads the text in the picture on this device. The text reader is a one-time download of about 6 MB from this site, and it loads only when you choose a screenshot.

From a call-history file

A CSV file from your carrier's website or a call-log app. You match its columns once. Phones do not let websites read call history directly, so a file or a screenshot is the way in.

Untick anyone you know, like your doctor or a company returning your call. Calls whose words repeat across numbers are marked as recordings; check one before you file.

Put this number on your company's do-not-call list. What is the company's name and a number where I can reach you?

Then hang up and log it with the company name they gave. Companies get up to 10 business days to honor the request; if the same company contacts you after that, the log flags it.

A recording or a call that sounds like a scam is different. The FTC: If you answer one of these calls, hang up and report the call to the FTC. and Don't press buttons to be taken off a call list or to talk to a live person.

The FTC: A consumer whose number is not on the national registry can still prohibit individual telemarketers from calling by asking to be put on the company's own do not call list. The FCC's rule says a company making sales calls must honor the request within 10 business days, keep honoring it for 5 years, and give you the name of the person or entity on whose behalf the call is being made, and a telephone number or address at which the person or entity may be contacted. FTC Q&A, FTC Do Not Call FAQs, 47 CFR 64.1200(d). These rules cover sales calls to personal numbers. Most sales calls to a business are exempt.

Find out where they got it, then close it

Three tools. Their progress is saved in this browser.

Give each company its own address

Add a tag after a plus sign and your mail still arrives in the same inbox. Give that address to one company only. If spam later arrives at it, you know which company had it.

Google: Use yourname+shopping@gmail.com to create an account with an online retailer. Gmail Help. Microsoft says Outlook.com works the same way: The email will still come to your own inbox, but you will know who it's from. Outlook.com help.

Spam arrived. Who had this address?

Where this does not work

Some sites refuse a plus sign.Use a forwarding alias for those: Firefox Relay (5 free), DuckDuckGo Email Protection (free), SimpleLogin (10 free), or Hide My Email with iCloud+. Record the alias here the same way.
Anyone can delete the tag.A list seller who strips the tag reaches your plain address, and the trail ends. Spam at a tagged address points to a company; spam at your plain address points nowhere. Proton, which sells aliases, puts it this way: Anyone can remove the plus sign and the following text and get your real email address. Proton
Phone numbers cannot be tagged.For calls, ask every caller where they got your number, and log the answer.
Dots are not tags in Gmail.Google: johnsmith@gmail.com and j.o.h.n.s.m.i.t.h@gmail.com are the same address and go to one inbox. Gmail Help
Work email may not allow it.Microsoft lets an administrator turn plus addressing off for a whole company. Apple's iCloud help does not say whether it works. Yahoo offers disposable addresses instead.

California residents

One request to every registered data broker

California's free DROP platform sends one deletion request to all registered data brokers. The state agency: Starting August 1, 2026, data brokers must access DROP at least once every 45 days to begin processing deletion requests. Publicly available information is not covered, and much people-search data is built from public records.

Everyone

Prescreened loan and credit offers

The credit bureaus run the official opt-out for the lists lenders use to make "preapproved" offers. The FTC: Requests to opt out are processed within five days, but it may take several weeks before you stop getting prescreened offers. It asks for your Social Security number; the FTC names it as the bureaus' own site.

AI and your data

Three checklists for what AI changed. Each row links to the company's own setting and quotes its own page. Progress is saved in this browser, and a finished row gets a date to check again, because these settings change often.

Many services use what you post, write or say to train AI. Where there is a setting to stop it, the row names it. Where there is none, the row says so and what you can do instead.

Every row was checked against the company's or agency's own page on October 17, 2026. Settings move; if a step no longer matches, the linked page is the one to trust.

The questions people ask

One page for each, answered from the FTC, FCC and CFPB, and each one ends in the tool above.

Why am I suddenly getting loan or debt calls?
Lenders can get lists of people whose credit reports fit their criteria, and an FTC staff report notes that merchant cash advance brokers and lead generators market by phone. A call about a real debt is different: a debt collector must stop contacting you if you ask in writing, though you could still owe the debt. The page sorts which kind you are getting and what turns each one off.
FTC, CFPB, FTC staff report
Where did they get my phone number?
Our method, not a rule: a phone number cannot carry a tag, so the evidence comes from the calls. Log every one with the words the recording opens with and the number it tells you to call back. Robocallers switch numbers, but the recording and the callback number stay the same, so the log groups them. For email, a tagged address names the company directly.
FTC on robocalls
How do I get off people-search sites?
One site at a time, on each site's own opt-out page, then check again later. Californians can send one request to every registered broker through DROP.
FTC, California DROP
What do I say to get on a company's do-not-call list?
Ask a live sales caller to put your number on the company's do-not-call list, and ask for the company's name and number. The FCC's rule gives the company up to 10 business days to honor it. For a recording, hang up and report it instead.
FTC Q&A, FCC rule, FTC FAQs
How do I report a caller who keeps calling?
DoNotCall.gov for sales calls and robocalls, ReportFraud.ftc.gov if you lost money, and the FCC. The FTC says it does not resolve individual complaints, but each one helps it investigate and could lead to law enforcement action.
