Protecting American households from the rising tide of digital intrusion since 2016. No gimmicks. No algorithms pretending to care. Just real people doing real work.
CPS Shield started the way most good ideas do — out of frustration. Back in 2016, our founders were watching friends and family get hammered by robocalls day after day. One afternoon, a relative got scammed out of nearly five grand by a fake "IRS agent" on the phone. That was the last straw.
One of our founders had spent over a decade in cybersecurity, watching data brokers sell phone numbers like trading cards. The other was a consumer rights attorney who had spent years in courtrooms fighting telemarketers who thought the law didn't apply to them. They realized something nobody else was doing: actually removing people's data from the lists that generate these calls in the first place.
So they quit their jobs, pooled their savings, and built the first version of our data-purging system over a single weekend in a cramped apartment in Austin. It was rough, it was ugly, but it worked. Within three months, word had spread. Neighbors told neighbors. Friends told friends. By the end of the first year, we had protected over 1,000 households.
Today, we're not a call blocker. We're not a simple registry. We're a full-service privacy platform with 100+ agents who manually scrub your information from vendor lists, a legal team that fights for you when your rights get violated, and 24/7 human support — because your peace of mind deserves more than a chatbot.
Ten years of grit, late nights, and a whole lot of phone calls. Here's the story of how a two-person side project became a nationwide consumer protection leader.
After a family member lost thousands to a robocall fraud, our founders built the first data-purging prototype in a small Austin apartment. No investors. No office. Just two people, a laptop, and a burning need to fix a broken system.
Within a year, 1,000 households were protected. We hired our first five agents and started building direct relationships with data brokers — the kind of relationships that make removal requests actually stick.
We expanded to all 50 states and launched our 24/7 Priority Support line. We also introduced litigation assistance, helping members take telemarketers to court when they violated TCPA rules. The message was clear: we don't just remove your data — we fight for you.
We built AI-driven monitoring that watches for when your data reappears on vendor lists. Because data brokers don't play fair — they re-list numbers the moment you stop watching. Our system catches it within hours, not weeks.
100,000 privacy lines protected. We committed 30% of profits to consumer protection charities and launched free educational workshops in underserved communities. Because protecting people means teaching them, too.
Recognized as the highest tier of TCPA compliance support in the U.S. 100+ agents. 24/7 access. A 30% charity pledge. And we're just getting started. The fight for consumer privacy never ends, and neither do we.
Two professionals who walked away from comfortable careers to build something that actually helps people. No corporate speak. No empty titles. Just results.
Before CPS Shield, our CEO spent 12 years as a senior cybersecurity analyst at a Fortune 500 tech firm, specializing in data privacy and threat intelligence. Holds a Master's in Information Security from Carnegie Mellon and is a certified CISSP.
The turning point came when a family member got scammed by a robocall. That personal hit made the corporate paycheck feel meaningless. So they walked away and built the first version of our data-purging system from scratch — coding through weekends, sleeping on the couch, and answering customer calls personally at 2 AM.
Today, they oversee all technical operations and platform development. Under their leadership, CPS Shield has processed over 2.5 million data removal requests with a 99.7% success rate. They still personally review every major system update. "If it doesn't work for my mom, it doesn't ship."
Our Chief Legal Officer is a consumer rights attorney with 15 years of experience in TCPA litigation, data privacy law, and class-action consumer protection. J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law. They've taken on some of the biggest telemarketing firms in the country — and won.
Before CPS Shield, they represented hundreds of individual consumers in robocall and telemarketing fraud cases, recovering millions in damages. But they got tired of playing defense. "Every case I won meant someone had already been hurt. I wanted to stop the damage before it started."
At CPS Shield, they lead the legal advocacy division, oversee all litigation support, and manage partnerships with the FCC and state attorneys general. They also direct the 30% charity pledge, ensuring profits go directly to consumer protection nonprofits. "We didn't build this company to get rich. We built it to fix a problem."
These aren't posters on a wall. These are the rules we live by when nobody's watching.
No advertisers. No data resellers. No conflicts of interest. Our only client is the person on the other end of the phone who just wants some peace and quiet.
We publish our success rates, our charity contributions, and our operational metrics. If we screw up, we say so. Then we fix it. No spin, no excuses.
Our 100+ agents provide actual human support because privacy issues deserve actual human attention. Try getting that from a chatbot.
We operate within the strictest interpretation of TCPA, FCC, and state privacy laws. Our legal team reviews every removal request. No shortcuts.
Data brokers never quit. Neither do we. Our AI detects re-listings within hours, and our agents re-purge your data immediately. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
30% of profits go to consumer protection charities. Free workshops in underserved communities. Because protecting people means lifting them up, too.
From Austin to remote agents across the country, here's how we actually get the work done.
Join 100,000+ Americans who trust CPS Shield to keep their phones — and their loved ones — safe from telemarketers and scammers. Real people. Real protection. No compromises.
