Completely rewritten Third Edition (2021) presents the definitive 640-page privacy manual. Michael Bazzell has helped hundreds of celebrities, billionaires, and everyday citizens completely disappear from public view. He is now known in Hollywood as the guy that “fixes” things. His previous books about privacy were mostly REACTIVE and he focused on ways to hide information, clean up an online presence, and sanitize public records to avoid unwanted exposure. This textbook is PROACTIVE. It is about starting over. It is the complete guide that he would give to any new client in an extreme situation. It leaves nothing out, and provides explicit details of every step he takes to make someone completely disappear, including document templates and a chronological order of events. The information shared in this volume is based on real experiences with his actual clients, and is unlike any content ever released in his other books.

This book is more extreme. The previous editions accepted the fact that most of my clients demand Apple products, iCloud accounts, overt payment methods, and easy communications. I accommodated this realization and tried to offer steps which could increase privacy while settling for inferior options. This is no longer the case. In this edition, Iassume you want maximum privacy and security. Ido not cut corners or puU punches. Together, we will embrace Linux on our computers; possess mobile devices without embedded Apple or Google software; create masked payment options; sanitize our past public lives; never associate our names with our homes; and rely on completely encrypted communications from open-source projects. Ihave no regrets from my previous writings, as I believe they served a valuable purpose at the time. Today, we must take our privacy and security to another level. After all optimal solutions are presented, I still provide alternative options for those who do not want to commit to an extreme level of privacy and security. However, Ialways encourage you to push your comfort level and force yourself to make the best long-term decisions.
