The internet was never built to protect you. It was built to find you, profile you, and sell you back to yourself. DLTD is the exit.
Right now, two hundred companies you have never heard of know your home address, your phone number, your income estimate, and your relatives’ names. Most of them sell that information for less than a dollar.
Every app on your phone is reporting your location, behavior, and purchases to advertising networks you cannot see. Your ChatGPT account contains every question you have ever typed into it — the client name in that draft, the contract you summarized, the dosage you asked about at two in the morning. It is stored indefinitely.
Your children are findable online in sixty seconds using only information that you or a family member posted without thinking. The ad algorithm on every platform you use has built a profile of you that is more detailed than your own medical records.
None of this required your meaningful consent. Most of it happened before you knew it was possible.
In 2001 Congress passed three hundred forty-two pages of surveillance law in forty-five days. Most members did not read it. You definitely did not consent to it. It is still active.
DLTD does not show you a dashboard full of red numbers. It fixes the problem and tells you it is done.
Pull the Plug — free, forever.
Every broker database, every ad profile, every AI training set traces back to a setting six taps deep that you never knew existed. We open the right panel. You flip the switch. We track which ones you’ve done and re-check on a cadence. The work was always doable. It was never findable.
Blocked before your data moves.
DLTD Tunnel is a local DNS filter on your phone. Your traffic never goes through our servers — we have no servers. Just a list of known tracker and ad domains that get dropped at the OS level. The profile-builders stop seeing you.
We file the requests.
DLTD acts as your Authorized Agent under CCPA, GDPR, and 9 other privacy laws to file legally binding removal requests against every broker in our registry. Brokers re-list you. We re-file every 90 days. Automatically.
We find them first.
DLTD monitors what others post about your children, what accounts exist using their identity, and whether suspicious accounts are trying to approach them. When we find something, you know immediately.

Nobody builds in privacy. Nobody is thinking about it yet.
The National Science Foundation decommissioned its public NSFNET backbone in April 1995, opening the internet to commerce overnight. There was no consumer privacy framework. The default became opt-out by accident — and stayed that way.
NSFNET history · NSF.gov →Data collection is quietly legitimized at the federal level. You are not consulted.
It deregulated cable, broadcast, and emerging internet services and explicitly preempted state-level privacy rules in several places. The political fight was about media consolidation — not data — so the data provisions slid through unchallenged.
Public Law 104-104 · FCC.gov →Your searches are the product. You think it is a search engine.
AdWords launched in 2000. By 2004 ad revenue made up 99% of Google’s income. Search was the surface; behavioral profiling was the business model.
The government decides it needs access to everything. The companies are happy to help.
Forty-five days after the towers fell. 342 pages. Most of Congress did not read it. You definitely did not consent to it.
Title II expanded warrantless surveillance powers. Section 215 let the FBI demand business records — including the famous bulk telephone metadata collection later revealed by Snowden. National Security Letters under Section 505 required no judicial review. Most provisions have been renewed under every administration since, both parties.
Public Law 107-56 · Congress.gov →Your relationships are now data points. Your face is now a product. Your social graph is now for sale.
Your location is tracked twenty-four hours a day. This is marketed as a feature.
The App Store launched the following year. Apps could request always-on location access by default until iOS 13 in 2019 — twelve years of background location data flowing to ad networks at population scale.
The government was reading your email. Both parties knew. Nobody went to prison. Nothing changed.
PRISM was an NSA program that collected internet communications from major U.S. companies — Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Apple, others — under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act. Disclosed by Edward Snowden in June 2013. Section 702 was renewed most recently in 2024.
Section 702 of FISA · DOJ.gov →Americans get a cookie banner instead.
The General Data Protection Regulation gave EU residents an enforceable right to access, correct, and delete their personal data — with fines up to 4% of global revenue. Twenty-four U.S. states have since passed partial analogs. There is still no federal equivalent.
Regulation (EU) 2016/679 · EUR-Lex →Your conversations. Your photos. Your children’s voices. The terms of service said it was fine.
Common Crawl, LAION-5B, the Pile, and other openly catalogued training corpora were built by scraping the public web — Reddit threads, personal blogs, Flickr photos, medical forums. Several U.S. authors and artists have lawsuits pending. Most have not been resolved.
That is what the U.S. advertising industry spends per person annually. That is what your privacy sold for.
You never opted in. Now you can opt out.
These are not DLTD’s numbers. These are facts about the infrastructure built around you while you were busy living your life.
You’ve had the experience. You mentioned a kayak to your partner. You didn’t search it. You didn’t type it. Hours later, an ad for a kayak.
Multiple academic studies have tried to prove the microphone eavesdropping theory. None of them could. The truth is darker than that.
Your devices share a Wi-Fi MAC, a billing address, a Netflix login. Cross-device graphs treat you as one person.
Demographic packs assign every neighborhood a 'most likely to buy a kayak this month' probability. They were right about yours.
Vision models categorized you as 'outdoor lifestyle.' That signal leaked through 14 broker resales.
You drove past Bass Pro Shops three Saturdays ago. The Wi-Fi beacon in their parking lot logs every passing device.
Plaid, Amex, Mastercard data co-ops sell anonymized-but-trivially-deanonymized spending patterns to ad platforms.
Your household’s average kayak-purchase rate, modeled against 50,000 similar households, predicted you.
2024 · The privacy company gave up
In 2024, Apple ran billboards that read “what happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone.” In 2026, opening Maps shows a consent screen for Apple Ads that mines your search terms, map views, demographics, and app installs. With a Continue button.

On-device DNS filter that drops every request to known ad and tracker domains. It rides the iOS VPN profile slot because that’s the only system-wide block hook Apple ships — not the same product as a tunnel VPN. Different job, different architecture.
A future bundle that includes the local Tunnel plus a partnership tunnel VPN at a wholesale rate. Same architecture as recommending Mullvad today, just one bill. Ships once we have the user base to negotiate properly. We’ll never build our own exit nodes.
No. DLTD runs a local VPN on your device. Your traffic never goes through our servers. Everything runs on your phone. We have no access to what you browse, search, or do online.
A regular VPN routes your traffic through a server somewhere else and hides your IP address. DLTD’s VPN never leaves your device. It intercepts DNS queries locally and drops the ones that come from ad and tracking networks. It is a fundamentally different architecture with a different purpose — you are blocking trackers, not hiding your location.
Companies that collect personal information from public records, social media, purchase history, and other sources, compile it into profiles, and sell it. There are over 800 of them operating in the United States. Most people have profiles on dozens of these sites containing their home address, phone number, income estimate, political affiliation, health conditions, and family members’ names. You have not consented to any of this and most people have never heard of these companies.
DLTD identifies which brokers have your information and sends formal opt-out requests on your behalf using your legal rights under CCPA, GDPR, and similar state and international privacy laws. Brokers are legally required to comply within 30 days. DLTD monitors for re-addition and sends removal requests again automatically every 90 days on Deleted tier and above.
DLTD periodically makes requests to a curated list of extremely boring legitimate websites — municipal government sites, agricultural resources, public library catalogs, weather services — in the background. This generates noise in your behavioral profile so ad algorithms think you are interested in fencing permits and agricultural extension programs instead of whatever you are actually interested in. It is legal. You are simply browsing boring websites.
Not yet. iOS only at launch. Android is on the roadmap.
DLTD’s business model does not require monetizing your data. We collect your email address and the minimum data required to run your privacy scans. We never sell your data, share it with third parties, or use it to train any AI model. We encrypt sensitive data at rest. Our privacy policy is one page and says exactly this in plain English.
You get an immediate push notification. For serious safety concerns, you get a full-screen alert with a direct link to NCMEC’s CyberTipline and emergency services. For standard exposure alerts — a public post containing your child’s name and school, a username found on an unexpected platform — you get a clear description of what was found and one-tap options to request removal or save as evidence.
Free scan. No card. We’ll show you the breaches your email is in and the brokers that have your name. Then we’ll remove you from thirty of them, free, forever.
