*Halocard is unable to guarantee acceptance for your individual situation
While Halocard has successfully processed transactions at DeleteMe, merchant acceptance can change at any time. Merchants can apply fraud and risk-based rules that prevent customers from using US-issued cards at checkout which is outside of Halocard's control. We recommend using Halocard to first make a test payment with DeleteMe to confirm acceptance for your individual situation. Halocard does not provide refunds in the event your card is declined.

DeleteMe payment FAQ
Can I keep my real card and address private from DeleteMe?
Yes, with Halocard. Halocard is a US-issued Visa credit card that gives you a separate card for each merchant, so DeleteMe only ever sees your Halocard, never your bank card. You choose the cardholder name and billing address on each card, so your real details stay out of DeleteMe's records. If you ever want a clean break, cancel that card and make a new one in seconds.
Will DeleteMe show up on my bank statement?
No, with Halocard your DeleteMe purchases, with the merchant name and amount, show only in your Halocard account, never on your bank or card statement. Halocard is a US-issued Visa credit card that gives you a separate card for each merchant, and you can add funds by debit/credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer, stablecoins, or crypto. Only a deposit by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay carries the HALOCARD descriptor on your statement, as a single payment with nothing about where you spend it. What your bank statement shows.
What should I do if DeleteMe declines or doesn't support my card?
Pay with a Halocard instead. DeleteMe accepts it, and as a US-issued Visa credit card held in US dollars it is accepted at checkouts that are strict about card type or country. Halocard is available for customers in the US and 120+ countries, so check that your country is supported, then make a card for DeleteMe in minutes. See the countries Halocard supports.
Can I use a virtual card for DeleteMe?
Yes. DeleteMe accepts Halocard, a US-issued Visa credit card that works like a debit card. Make a card just for DeleteMe and you are in full control: set a limit, lock it or cancel it whenever you like, without ever handing DeleteMe your bank card.
How much does DeleteMe cost?
It depends on how many people the plan covers and how long it runs. DeleteMe sells plans for one person, two people and a family of four, for one or two years, paid up front and renewed automatically, and a 2-year plan costs less per year. DeleteMe's pricing page lists the current prices.
Is DeleteMe legit?
DeleteMe is a paid data removal service from Abine, Inc., a Boston company, created in 2010. Its terms say it makes good-faith efforts to send opt-out requests to data brokers but cannot guarantee every site removes your data, and that Abine will never sell the personal information you submit. Its pricing page shows an A+ BBB rating.
What is DeleteMe's refund policy?
You get a full refund if you cancel before your first Privacy Report, with no questions asked. After that report you can still get a prorated refund for the time left on your plan. Ask DeleteMe's support team by email at support@joindeleteme.com or by phone at 833-335-3836.
How do I cancel DeleteMe?
Log in at joindeleteme.com, click Account in the left navigation, open Billing & Subscriptions and switch Renewal from On to Off. You can also email support@joindeleteme.com or call 833-335-3836. Cancelling stops future billing, and the refund rules still apply: a full refund before your first report, prorated after it.
Is Abine the same company as DeleteMe?
Yes. Abine, Inc. is the Boston company that builds and runs DeleteMe. DeleteMe's terms describe it as a service of Abine, and its checkout asks you to agree to Abine's Terms & Conditions before you pay.
