Remove Your Information from Online Directories and Web Sites

Is your address, phone number and family info available for anybody to see?

Here's how to remove yourself from these websites.

Most of these websites don't require any information anymore, other than the listing and an email address. The more difficult ones are notated below as well.

For those who are really wanting to speed the process along, Google has a great tool to remove old links from their search engine.

These links are mostly for US citizens (as far as I know).

Intelius - https://www.intelius.com/optout

Acxiom - https://isapps.acxiom.com/optout/optout.aspx

Mylife - Tricky. Must find your listing and then email [privacy@mylife.com](mailto:privacy@mylife.com). Request your opt out. They emailed back with a bullshit excuse why they won't. However, this was inconsistent. I opted both myself and my husband out on 2 different email addresses. They removed my husband no questions asked but refused to remove me. I sent the request again, so as of now, this is pending.

UPDATE: After 3 emails and a phone call, my listing has finally been removed. The phone number is 1-888-704-1900.

Zabasearch - https://www.zabasearch.com/block_records/

Requires faxed documentation according to their website. However, I have removed myself from almost every single website, and as a result, do not show up with Zabasearch.com without needing to opt out.

Spokeo - https://www.spokeo.com/optout

Beenverified - https://www.beenverified.com/f/optout/search

Peekyou - https://www.peekyou.com/about/contact/optout/

USSearch - They use Intelius. https://www.intelius.com/optout

Peoplefinders - https://www.peoplefinders.com/manage

Peoplelookup - Big fucking pain in the ass. https://www.peoplelookup.com/privacy-policy#updating-or-removing-your-information

Peoplesmart - https://www.peoplesmart.com/optout-policy

PrivateEye - https://www.privateeye.com/static/view/optout/

Whitepages - Tricky and annoying. https://www.whitepages.com/data-policy #8 tells you what to do.

USA People Search - https://www.usa-people-search.com/manage/ Didn't end up needing to purge myself here, as I had already hit the big boys.
