How to opt out of FamilyTreeNow

  1. Search familytreenow.com for your name and note the details your record shows.

  2. Go to FamilyTreeNow's Privacy Request page. It may ask you to prove you are human first: familytreenow.com/optout (opens in a new tab)

  3. Choose that you are the person whose information is being opted out. Enter your name and email address, tick the box that lets it email you about the request, and finish the human check.

  4. Open the email from FamilyTreeNow and click the verification link within 24 hours. Check your spam folder if it doesn't arrive.

  5. Fill in the detailed opt-out form that opens. It asks for more details to confirm who you are.

How long does it take?

FamilyTreeNow says your information is removed within 3 days of the detailed form. Search for yourself again after that.

Will my FamilyTreeNow listing come back?

It can. People-search sites keep adding new records, so a new record can appear, for example after you move. Search your name, phone number and email again in about a month, then every few months, and after you move or change numbers.

Does it cost anything?

No. FamilyTreeNow says the process is completely free.
