Data broker opt-out guides · 44 sites

Remove yourself from data brokers, one site at a time.

Every guide links straight to the broker's own opt-out page, lists what you need, how long removal takes, and the gotchas that make people give up. Free to use. Each page clearly labels the kind of instruction or guided handoff documented for that site.

Start with the record you found

Choose a guide by the kind of information involved.

These routes have different scopes: name-search suppression, listing-specific requests, contact-database removal, and property-by-property mortgage redaction. A request to one site does not change public records or other sites.

Sources and review dates vary by guide. Each page describes what was checked and any limits; provider instructions can change, so check the provider page before sharing details.

What these guides document

Each guide records the site's published route, the information it asks for, and steps that may require you in the browser. A guide's instruction type describes the route; it is not a promise that a removal has been filed. Nothing is marked removed until a later check finds the listing gone.

Why start with a scan

You do not need to file forty forms. The exposure check organizes candidate listings from the details you provide before you work through opt-outs.

Common questions

Before you start filing forms

Are these opt-out guides free?

Yes. Every guide links directly to the broker's own opt-out page and walks through the steps. You never need to pay to use them.

Which sites should I remove myself from first?

Start with the sites that appear when you search your own name: Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, TruePeopleSearch, and FastPeopleSearch. Those are the listings friends, recruiters, and strangers actually find.

Does opting out remove my information from the internet?

No. It removes the copy on that broker's site. Public records, social profiles, and other brokers keep their own copies, and most people-search sites re-list you after new data pulls. Plan on repeating the big ones every few months.

What does My Privacy Agent do that this list does not?

The free exposure check organizes candidate listings. My Privacy Agent Patrol is $19.99/month; our team handles eligible removal requests, hands you the steps only you can do, tracks status, and re-checks before anything is called removed. Each guide states whether its site is currently supported.
