How to remove yourself from DTM Deutsche Tele Medien GmbH
Also known as Das Telefonbuch
DTM Deutsche Tele Medien publishes the Das Telefonbuch directory. Das Telefonbuch's privacy policy sends you to a form on dtme.de to change or delete a private entry and to remove hits from online directories. Standard entry questions go to eintragsservice@dtme.de.
On average, Serus sends about 184 removal requests per person, 89% of them to data brokers, so expect DTM Deutsche Tele Medien GmbH to be one of many.
