How do I remove my address and phone number from people-search websites?
Reviewed answer
Use each site's opt-out process; removal does not erase public records or every copy.
- Search for your name and note the sites displaying personal details.
- Find each site's official opt-out or removal process. Provide only the verification information genuinely required.
- Recheck periodically because listings can return. Limit public profile details that make records easier to connect.
