How to Remove Yourself From People-Search Sites

Opt-out links for the sites we ranked, what to expect, and the paid services that keep doing it.

Opt-out pages

  • BeenVerified: beenverified.com/app/optout
  • TruthFinder: truthfinder.com/opt-out
  • Intelius and Instant Checkmate: suppression.peopleconnect.us
  • Spokeo: spokeo.com/optout

Each takes a few minutes and removes the listing within days to weeks. The data returns when the site re-buys it — repeat every few months.

State rights

Residents of California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut and a growing list of states can demand deletion under state privacy law; the opt-out pages honour these.

Continuous removal

DeleteMe and the removal features in Aura and Norton LifeLock (see our identity-theft ranking) re-scan and re-request quarterly for a fee.
