The acquisition strengthens DeleteMe’s capabilities to reduce personal data exposure across open web, data brokers and social media platforms
BOSTON, March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DeleteMe, the leading platform for proactive privacy protection and personal data removal, today announced it has acquired Block Party, the social media privacy and safety tool that helps individuals and organizations secure their social media presence at scale.
Block Party by DeleteMe helps organizations protect their people and their brand by identifying and remediating social media exposure risks across major social media platforms, including Facebook, Google, Venmo, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X. Delivered as a simple browser extension, Block Party automatically detects and fixes privacy and security issues across an employee’s social media accounts.
Together, DeleteMe and Block Party address a growing challenge facing individuals and organizations: today’s most successful cyberattacks target people, not software.
“Social engineering attacks rely on the availability of personal data to target individuals and establish trust,” said Rob Shavell, CEO of DeleteMe. “By combining DeleteMe’s leading data broker removal capabilities with Block Party’s social media privacy controls, we are now the only solution capable of offering both individuals and organizations a solution that removes the fuel powering these attacks from the two places hackers go first-data brokers and social media.”
