I found my personal details on a website that links LLC owners together

Ugh, that's unsettling. Which site is it? Some of them just scrape the Secretary of State and repackage it, and getting it removed is like playing whack-a-mole.

It's probably one of those 'business data aggregators.' They get the info from public filings, so they're technically allowed to republish it. The registered agent thing is weird though—ddid you maybe list yourself as the agent initially before hiring a service? A lot of people do that and then forget.

OP, this is exactly why people use a privacy-focused registered agent and a virtual address from fay one. If your home address is in the formation docs, its out there forever. No take-backs. Your best bet now is to update the records with a new address (even if it's a PMB) and then beg the aggregator to update their page. They might, eventually. Or not.

Wait, the 'network graph' part—thats interesting. Did it actually show the other LLCs? That suggests they're cross-referencing names, which is a whole other level of creepy. I've only ever seen that on sites that charge for 'premium reports.'

It's legal because LLC filings are public records. The site isn't doing anything wrong. Annoying, yes. Illegal, no. You can try a DMCA or right-to-be-forgotten request if you're in a state that has one, but it's a long shot for someething that's technically a matter of public record.

Honestly, I'd just spam them with polite removal requests. Sometimes it works. Sometimes you just have to accept that the internet is a privacy landfill. Have you considered changing your name to something like 'X Æ A-12'? It's probably less searchable.

Not to be *that* person, but a lot of forum threads on this end with 'yeah I gave up.' Just to set expectations. If you do get it removed, please come back and tell us how.

I had this happen last year. The site had my old address from a filing 5 years ago. I emailed them with proof of the new registered agent and they updated it within a week. It's not always hopeless. But the network graph thing is weird. Did it look like it was linking you by name or by the registered agent?

Wait, OP said it listed them as the registered agent. If tehy hired a service, that's a clear error. Maybe the service never actually updated the state records? That would be a bigger problem. I'd double-check the actual state filing before blaming the website.
