Applicable laws

What protects you in Oklahoma

Oklahoma is one of about 14 states with a broker-removal statute on the books — modeled after New Jersey's Daniel's Law (the NJ law that lets covered officers sue data brokers for failing to remove their home address). Okla. Stat. §§3012 (2024) covers active and retired judges — state, municipal, county, tribal, and federal — and their spouses, children, and parents living with them. If you're a judge in Oklahoma, this is the broker-side lever.

For sworn officers, the Open Records Act exemptions at Okla. Stat. tit. 51 §§24A.7 and 24A.8 are the working tools. They keep personnel records and undercover officer identities out of agency disclosures. The list is broad: peace officers, firefighters, EMTs, corrections officers, judges, and their immediate families.

Oklahoma also has an anti-doxxing criminal statute under Okla. Stat. tit. 21 §1176 (HB 1643). Publishing a peace officer's or public official's personal information with intent to harm is a misdemeanor — six months and a $1,000 fine on first offense, escalating on repeat. Criminal statute, not a private removal mandate, but real teeth when prosecutors pick it up. A 2025 Cleveland County case ended in arrest of a man who doxxed a former sheriff's deputy.

For property records, Okla. Stat. tit. 68 §2899.1 lets covered persons redact their home address from county assessor records on a court order. ACP enrollees can do the same without a court order.

What still leaks

  1. Out-of-state brokers. Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, and the rest don't honor Oklahoma law. They source from out-of-state aggregators.
  2. Court filings. Civil filings on OSCN and ODCR often include addresses in the body of the document. The Open Records exemptions don't reach what's inside a court filing.
  3. Court order requirement for property. §2899.1 requires a court order for non-ACP filers. The bar is real and procedural, not free-and-fast.

What we sweep that the state doesn't

Oklahoma's framework shields the agency side and gives judges a broker-side lever. Patrol cops, firefighters, and EMS don't have the same broker-removal mandate. We file opt-outs across 200+ people-search sites and re-check every two weeks. The state shielded what it can. We handle what runs around it. Run a free scan to see what's currently exposed.
