How to opt out of PeopleFinders

  1. Search peoplefinders.com for your name and state, and note the details your record shows.

  2. Go to PeopleFinders' opt-out page: peoplefinders.com/opt-out (opens in a new tab)

  3. Under Right to Opt-out, tap Next.

  4. Enter your name and email address, leave I am set to The subject of the request, and complete the security check.

  5. Click the link in the email PeopleFinders sends you. It can take a while to arrive, and it stops working after 24 hours.

  6. Fill in the removal form with your details exactly as your record shows them. Leaving things out slows it down.

  7. You will see a confirmation page and get a confirmation email.

How long does it take?

PeopleFinders says to allow 3 days for your record to be fully removed. Search for yourself again after that.

Will my PeopleFinders listing come back?

It can. PeopleFinders says your public information may appear in its products again as it gets new public records, and suggests repeating the opt-out from time to time. 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. PeopleFinders says its opt-out is completely free, with no trial or payment.
