Can I remove my data without proof of identity?<\/h3>\n<p>Most websites that offer opt-out services have a verification procedure in place. This is to ensure no one is coming in to change details without claiming to be the person. Henceforth, sensitive information can be blurred for the sake of security.<\/p>\n<h3>2. How long does the opt-out process take?<\/h3>\n<p>The time taken varies from case to case and, in most cases, takes anywhere between 7 and 14 working days.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Will my data come back after being removed?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, it can come back if new public records are being uploaded. Be sure to check periodically, just to be safe.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Are there charges for opting-out?<\/h3>\n<p>Removal from their database should be free; however, some third-party services charge a fee for it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1654856910875{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.blueoceanglobaltech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Rectangle-102.png?id=13271) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;cta-3-2 cta-3-1 cta-3&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Opting Out Made Simpler With Blue Ocean Global Technology&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:40|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:300%20light%20regular%3A300%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Tailored reputation strategies to remove unwanted content aimed at cohesively aligning the online image with goals.&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|font_size:18|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:300%20light%20regular%3A300%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Request a Call Back&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1732188699825{margin-right: 50px !important;margin-left: 50px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;solid-button-1 popmake-17237&#8243; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blueoceanglobaltech.com%2Fcontact-us%2F|target:_blank&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Send Us an Email&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1700734782297{margin-right: 50px !important;margin-left: 50px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;border-button-2 border-button-2-dark&#8221; link=&#8221;url:mailto%3A%20info%40blueoceanglobaltech.com&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are a team of global professionals committed to learning, excellence and helping our clients achieve optimal results.
