People-search removal

Remove your address from people-search sites. Free.

Whitepages, Spokeo, BeenVerified and dozens of clones sell your home address, phone number, and relatives to anyone with a credit card. They must remove you free on request, and the paid removal subscriptions just file those free forms for you.

The steps are on this page. No account, no fee.

Why this works

Free

Opt-outs are free by policy

Every people-search broker publishes a free opt-out. Paid services charge $100 to $200 a year to file the same forms for you.

Google

Results about you

Google's own tool watches search results for your home address, phone, and email, and takes removal requests when one appears.

CCPA

Privacy law is behind you

California's privacy law and its siblings force data brokers to honor deletion requests. The brokers know it, which is why the opt-outs exist.

Three steps, all free

The removal, step by step.

Step one

Cut the listings out of Google

Brokers republish each other, so chasing every site is whack-a-mole. Start where a stalker starts: search your own name plus your city, then request removal of each result that shows your address or phone through Google's Results About You. It works for every broker, including ones with a broken opt-out, and it keeps watching for new results after that.

Step two

Opt out at the biggest brokers

Whitepages has a free suppression request, and one PeopleConnect suppression center removes you from Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and US Search at once. Every other broker, including Spokeo, BeenVerified, Radaris, TruePeopleSearch, FastPeopleSearch, and MyLife, has a free opt-out on its own site: search the site's name plus "opt out" and only use the page on the broker's own domain.

Step three

Re-check every few months

Brokers buy fresh data and relist. Put a note in your calendar to re-run the search quarterly, and keep Results About You on: it emails you when your details show up in a new result, so the re-check mostly runs itself.

Before you subscribe to anything

What the removal services don't tell you.

The subscription resells free forms

DeleteMe and its rivals mostly submit the exact opt-outs on this page. You are paying $100 to $200 a year for a markup on doors the brokers must open free.

Stalking risk is the real stake

If someone specific frightens you, do the Google step first, today. It closes the discovery path fastest. And this is also a police matter — screenshot the listing with dates before it disappears.

Public records stay public

A news story or a court record is different from a broker's listing page. This page is for data brokers monetizing your contact details, not for rewriting the record.

Is it more than your address?

If your photos are out there too, that side is ours.

Address exposure often travels with photo misuse: impersonation accounts, stolen pictures, deepfakes. Our free face scan searches by your face and files the takedowns with you, free, in your name. Your original photo never leaves your device.
