What ClearTrace AU is
ClearTrace AU is a web service for finding personal information on Australian people-search and data-broker sites, requesting removal, and checking whether listings return. It submits requests, follows up with sites, and records responses. The service also monitors breach databases and alerts customers when their email or phone appears in a new breach. Guided response playbooks and concierge help with changing a compromised phone number are available. Coverage is tuned for Australian exposure and Australian privacy law. ClearTrace AU says it collects information needed for removal work, does not sell it, and does not share it with advertisers. Customer information is retained only as needed for requests and follow-up. The company warns that sites may ignore requests and that Australia has no general right to delete personal information. It does not recover stolen money, act as a legal or police advocate, or replace IDCARE or a bank. Essential costs $129 a year, billed A$10.75/month annually; Professional costs $249 a year, billed A$20.75/month annually.

Who it suits
It suits people in Australia seeking assisted data-broker removals, recurring scans, breach alerts, and response guidance. The Family plan can cover up to four people with consent requirements.
Verdict
ClearTrace AU combines assisted removals with breach monitoring for Australian exposure. Its legal and service limits mean it cannot substitute for banks, IDCARE, or authorities.
