The basics

What are people-search and data broker sites?

People-search sites (also called data brokers) compile public records, property data, phone listings, and marketing data into profiles that show your name, age, current and past addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and relatives. Removing yourself means submitting an opt-out to each site and checking that the profile stays down.

Home address

Current and past addresses, often with maps and property details.

Phone & email

Mobile numbers, landlines, and email addresses tied to your name.

Relatives & associates

Family members, roommates, and neighbors linked to your profile.

Age & background

Birth year, aliases, and sometimes court or arrest data.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Find your listing on each site, then use that site’s opt-out or suppression form, which usually asks for the listing URL and an email address for verification. Because many sites share data, check related sites as well. Our free opt-out guides cover 250+ sites step by step.
Start with the sites that rank highest when you search your name and city, commonly Whitepages, Spokeo, BeenVerified, TruePeopleSearch, FastPeopleSearch, Radaris, MyLife, Intelius, and Nuwber. Removing the most visible listings first reduces exposure fastest.
Most people-search sites offer a free opt-out, though the process can be time-consuming and listings may return. Paid services handle the requests and re-check sites for you.
Data brokers refresh their databases from public records, marketing lists, and other brokers, so a new profile can be created after an old one is suppressed. Re-check your name every few months or use ongoing monitoring.
Yes. Google’s Results about you tool lets you find and request removal of search results that contain your phone number, home address, or email. This removes the result from Google, not the page from the data broker’s site, so opting out at the source is still important.
Several states give residents data deletion rights. California residents can use the state’s Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP) to send one deletion request to registered data brokers, and states such as Oregon, Texas, and Vermont require data brokers to register.
