Eliminalia, rebranded as 'Idata Protection' in January 2023[1] is a Spanish company which has specialized in reputation management.[2] It was founded in 2011 by Diego Sánchez, known as Dídac Sánchez.[3][4] The technical offices are in Kyiv, Ukraine.[5][6] Eliminalia is the property of Maidan Holdings, a Miami-based holding company.[1]
In 2015, Eliminalia offered its services without charge to anyone affected by the Ashley Madison data breach.[7]
In 2020, Eliminalia received several vanity awards: Technology Innovator Awards 2020[8] by AI Global Media and Cyber Security Company of the Year[9] by Corporate LiveWire.
In 2021, Qurium, an NGO dedicated to the defense of digital rights, accused Eliminalia of creating a network of fake websites with back-dated articles[10] and then spamming them with apparently legal DMCA takedown notices and GDPR complaints.[11] These were intended to take down articles referring to corruption in Angola regarding Isabel dos Santos and Vincent Miclet.
