A data broker is a company that collects and sells your personal data without a direct relationship with you. In India, 50+ platforms — people-search apps (TrueCaller), business directories (JustDial, IndiaMART), company-records sites (Zaubacorp), job portals (Naukri), real-estate sites (99acres, MagicBricks) and global firms (Acxiom, ZoomInfo) — hold your name, number, email and more. Below is what each holds and how to opt out.
Most Indians are listed on five or more of these without ever knowing. They power the spam calls, the "we found your number" messages, and the background profiles built about you. Here's the map — grouped by type — with the removal route for each.
