hitta.se How to remove yourself from hitta.se
Hitta.se is a Swedish phone and address directory. Its page "Ta bort kontaktsida" asks you to search for your details and click "Ta bort". Hitta also tells you to make your number secret with your phone operator, or it can be republished.
On average, Serus sends about 184 removal requests per person, 89% of them to data brokers, so expect hitta.se to be one of many.

How to opt out of hitta.se

Make your number secret
Ask your telecom operator to make your phone number hemligt (secret). Hitta says that without this, details risk being republished on hitta.se and on similar services.
Watch out for
- Removing the page doesn't touch your number at the operator. Secrecy is a separate request to your operator.
- Other Swedish directories keep their own lists, so check each one.
