How Vettadex Works

How Vettadex works
Fourteen phases.
One protected reputation.
Vettadex runs a 14-phase deep scan across 500+ sources — including our own pre-indexed database of 850,000+ pages — then removes everything it finds with automated legal escalation up to 8 levels deep.
The process
Step 01
We map your entire digital presence
After you create your account, Vettadex runs a 14-phase scan across 500+ sources. Every result passes through our identity verification system — common names require multiple corroborating signals before anything is flagged. No false positives.

Common questions
How long does the first scan take?
Your first full scan takes approximately 24 to 48 hours to complete. After that, weekly scans run automatically and typically complete within a few hours. You will receive an email when your report is ready.
Can you actually remove things from Google?
Yes, in many cases. Google provides official channels for removing outdated content, personal information, and content that violates their policies. For content that cannot be removed at the source, we submit deindex requests and pursue suppression strategies that push damaging results off page one. We are transparent about what can and cannot be removed.
How long do data broker removals take?
Data broker opt-outs typically take 2 to 6 weeks to process after submission. Some sites process requests within days while others can take longer. We track every request and follow up automatically. Some data brokers also re-list information periodically your ongoing subscription ensures we catch and remove re-listings automatically.
Is my personal information safe with Vettadex?
Yes. We use bank-level encryption to store your data, never sell your information to third parties, and only use what you provide to scan and remove your digital footprint. We collect the minimum data necessary to do our job. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
What if I want to cancel?
You can cancel anytime from your dashboard with no questions asked. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. We also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied within the first 30 days, contact us for a full refund.
What is the difference between the three plans?
Starter ($49/mo) covers monthly scans and removal from the 20 most common data brokers ideal for individuals who want basic protection. Growth ($149/mo) adds weekly scans, 50+ broker removals, and positive content creation. Premium ($299/mo) covers everything in Growth plus 100+ broker removals, a dedicated account manager, crisis support, and legal escalation access.
