Keep your home address private

Practical guides for people who just became a little public and do not want their home address easy to find.

Who this is for

These guides are for newsletter writers, small sellers, people who suddenly went viral, and local officials who need a calm, honest order of steps. They are not a service sold to celebrities, and they are not legal advice.

How to use this site

Start with the situation you are in today. The guides include free options first and say when paying may not be needed.

Where to start

1. You just got a lot of attention — Use the first-day checklist before you pay anyone to remove listings.
2. You send a newsletter or get packages — Pick a mailing address that is not your home, then compare a PO box with a virtual mailbox.
3. Your address is already listed, or you need it for a business account — Try free removal steps first, check your state's confidentiality program, and read the platform rules before you file.

The guides

1. I just went viral: what to do about your home address today
