ADAMS ANNOUNCES NEW PROGRAM TO FURTHER PROTECT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVORS

Safe at Home Participants Can Have Personal Information Removed from Internet

 

Frankfort, Ky. (October 14, 2024) – Secretary of State Michael Adams announced his office has arranged with DeleteMe, a national privacy information removal service, to allow for participants in the Kentucky Safe at Home program to access online data removal tools for free.

 

“Last year, I extended protections to domestic violence survivors to prevent their information from being displayed on government records,” said Adams. “This year, I am proud to extend those protections to information that can be found easily online.”

 

DeleteMe finds and removes personally identifiable information (PII) from being collected and sold or shared online by data brokers without permission. Removing PII from these sites can reduce the likelihood of abusers finding their victims. 

 

Safe at Home participants need to opt in to be enrolled in the program.
