Why Datapods Shield wins
Removal requests that don't expose you
Traditional data removal services collect your full name, email, physical address, and birthdate — then broadcast all of it to every company on their list. The problem: companies that didn't have your data now receive a complete profile. Datapods Shield takes the opposite approach. Based on a general analysis of each company's data processing practices, we only send the minimum identifiers that match the data categories that company typically processes — not your full identity.
The data removal paradox
Most data removal services ask for your full identity, then broadcast it to every company on their list. If a company only had your email, they now also have your name, address, and birthdate — courtesy of the service meant to protect you. Datapods Shield was designed to break this cycle: based on each company's known processing profile, we send only the minimum necessary data per request.
Built for Germany, not the US
DeleteMe's company network is almost entirely US-focused. Datapods Shield targets the companies that actually hold data on German and EU residents — so every removal request counts.
Mobile Ad ID coverage
Your mobile advertising ID lets companies track you across apps and build a shadow profile. Datapods Shield is the only service that targets mobile ad ID companies — a blind spot other services ignore entirely.
A real app, not just a dashboard
DeleteMe gives you a web dashboard that you have to manually check. Datapods Shield offers a native mobile app with push notifications — you'll know the moment a company deletes your data.
65% cheaper than DeleteMe
Datapods Shield costs €44.99/year. DeleteMe charges $129/year for a single person. You get purpose-built EU coverage and stronger privacy for a fraction of the price.
