Protections
Six mechanisms that shield first responders, judges, and prosecutors from address exposure. Coverage and eligibility vary by state. Stack the tools that fit your role and your jurisdiction.
Address Confidentiality Program (ACP)
A state-run substitute-address program that lets you keep your real home address out of government records. Coverage and eligibility vary widely by state.
Strong: 14 | Moderate: 31 | Weak/None: 5 | Pending: 1
Public-records exemption for first responders
A written election filed with each agency holding your records that exempts your home address, family info, and personal contact data from public-records (FOIA / FOIL / sunshine law) disclosure.
Strong: 35 | Moderate: 15 | Weak/None: 1 | Pending: 0
Daniel's Law-style broker removal statute
A statute that lets covered persons demand data brokers and online publishers remove their home address and unpublished phone, with statutory damages if the broker fails to comply within a fixed window.
Strong: 5 | Moderate: 17 | Weak/None: 22 | Pending: 7
Property records redaction
A separate filing with your county recorder or assessor that redacts your home address from publicly indexed property records. Most county recorders publish deed and tax data online by default.
Strong: 21 | Moderate: 12 | Weak/None: 17 | Pending: 1
DMV confidentiality election
A state-level filing that goes beyond the federal DPPA — it removes your home address from DMV records that would otherwise be released to qualified requesters under DPPA's permitted-use exceptions.
Strong: 17 | Moderate: 13 | Weak/None: 20 | Pending: 1
Voter roll confidentiality
A separate filing with the state Secretary of State or county elections office that suppresses your home address on the voter file. Voter rolls are public in most states and feed commercial broker files within months of any update.
Strong: 26 | Moderate: 12 | Weak/None: 13 | Pending: 0
