What Autopilot Does

Serus Autopilot continuously scans data broker sites and automatically submits removal requests on your behalf, saving hours of manual work. Most users see significant reductions in their data broker footprint within 30-60 days, with ongoing monitoring to catch new listings as they appear.

Choosing What to Remove

When activating Autopilot, you can select the scope of removal based on your needs:

  • Data brokers only — Focuses on sites that collect, aggregate, and sell personal data.
  • Surface web results only — Targets publicly accessible search results that display your information.
  • Everything — Covers all exposures Serus identifies, across both categories.

This allows you to tailor the level of protection to what matters most to you.

Tracking Your Removal Requests

Once Autopilot is active, the Requests section provides full visibility into the status of each removal. For every request, you can see:

  • The date it was submitted
  • When it was processed
  • When it was completed

This makes it straightforward to monitor progress and confirm that your information is being removed as expected.

Summary

Autopilot simplifies the process of managing your online privacy. Rather than tracking down and removing exposures individually, you can configure your preferences once and let Serus handle the rest — automatically and continuously.

To get started with Autopilot, upgrade to Serus Premium.
