ClearID SA
What it is
ClearID SA is a web service for individuals who want to find personal details on data broker websites and request removal. It scans 43 sites, including 25 South African and 18 major international services, then shows a privacy risk score and the locations of details such as names, phone numbers, and addresses. ClearID says it submits POPIA-compliant removal requests to brokers holding a user’s information. Listed examples include TrueCaller, TPN Credit Bureau, LexisNexis SA, TransUnion SA, and Experian SA. The Free plan provides a full 43-broker scan, risk score, and top-exposure view. Premium costs 99 ZAR a month and adds automated removal requests, monthly rescans, and a POPIA compliance report. A once-off option costs 499 ZAR for one scan and removal pass, with a report and no subscription. ClearID says data are encrypted at rest, not sold for marketing, and handled through secure payments.
