Joshua Gutierrez
Director of Privacy
As the head of NetReputation’s Digital Privacy team, Josh oversees the development, delivery, and execution of all online privacy offerings, ensuring clients always have the best, most effective tools for protecting themselves and their loved ones on the internet. In an era of increasing data breaches, identity theft, and privacy violations, Josh’s leadership of the digital privacy division addresses growing concerns about personal information exposure and online safety.
Josh’s expertise encompasses the full spectrum of digital privacy protection, including personal information removal from data broker websites, public records suppression, social media privacy optimization, digital footprint minimization, identity theft prevention, and ongoing privacy monitoring. His comprehensive understanding of how personal information spreads across the internet enables him to architect thorough privacy protection strategies that address both immediate exposures and long-term privacy risks.
Under Josh’s direction, NetReputation has developed proprietary systems for identifying personal information exposures across hundreds of data broker sites, people search engines, public records databases, and other sources that aggregate and sell personal details. His team executes systematic removal campaigns that eliminate this information, reducing risks associated with identity theft, stalking, doxing, and unwanted contact.
Josh understands that digital privacy protection requires ongoing vigilance rather than one-time interventions. He has implemented continuous monitoring systems that detect when removed information reappears or when new privacy threats emerge, enabling proactive responses that keep clients protected over time. This subscription-based approach to privacy management provides peace of mind for clients concerned about long-term information security.
His leadership extends to educating clients about privacy best practices, including social media privacy settings optimization, safe online behavior, recognizing phishing attempts, managing digital footprints, and protecting family members from online threats. Josh believes informed clients make better privacy decisions, and he ensures his team provides comprehensive guidance that empowers clients to maintain their own privacy alongside professional services.
Josh’s digital privacy expertise is particularly valuable for high-net-worth individuals, public figures, executives, legal professionals, medical practitioners, and families concerned about children’s online safety. He understands the unique privacy challenges facing different client segments and tailors protection strategies accordingly, whether that involves comprehensive information removal for privacy-conscious individuals or protective measures for families wanting to shield children from online predators.
Beyond personal information removal, Josh oversees services related to reputation protection through privacy enhancement, including strategies for reducing public visibility of addresses, phone numbers, family relationships, and other sensitive details that could be exploited for harassment, fraud, or competitive advantage. His holistic approach views privacy protection as an essential component of comprehensive reputation management.
Josh stays current with evolving privacy regulations, including GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection laws that give consumers greater control over personal information. His knowledge of legal frameworks governing privacy rights enables NetReputation to leverage applicable regulations when pursuing information removal, increasing success rates while ensuring compliance with all relevant laws.
