Address Confidentiality
Every state ACP — not just five.
Address Confidentiality Programs (ACP), often called Safe at Home, issue domestic-violence survivors and other at-risk people a substitute mailing address. State agencies — including data brokers operating in the state — are required to accept the substitute address instead of the real one. withheld.io covers 35 state programs and cites the underlying statute in every broker letter.
Why this exists
A privacy removal that drops your home address from a data broker is good. A removal request that cites your state ACP statute is great: the broker now risks a state-AG enforcement action if they leave the record up, AND we never expose the real address in the request body itself.
The 'Optery covers 5 states' problem
Other removal services support a handful of state ACPs — typically the four or five with the highest applicant volume. The other 25+ states are technically supported in statute but unsupported by the tooling. withheld.io covers all 35 programs in our seed set, with statute text and substitute-address routing for each.
How enrollment works in withheld.io
You apply with your state (links below) — that's a separate legal process the state runs. Once you have your applicant card and substitute address, you tell us on the profile page. From that point forward:- Every broker letter cites your statute.- The substitute address replaces your real one in every identifier block.- Your real address never enters an outbound request.- Withheld fails closed: if the substitute address is missing, we don't fall back — we error and let you fix it.
Code Red + ACP
Code Red — our panic-mode escalation — is free for anyone with a verified ACP enrollment. We trust the state's certification of risk. See the Code Red page for details.
