How to remove yourself from PeopleFinders

Removing yourself from PeopleFinders is free. It takes a few steps and an email confirmation.

Open the PeopleFinders opt-out pageTrack it

Steps

  1. Search peoplefinders.com for your name, open your profile with "View Profile" and copy its web address.
  2. Open the opt-out page ("Manage Your Public Records") and paste the address into the form.
  3. Click the verification link in the confirmation email to finish.

If that doesn't work

This only hides you on PeopleFinders itself. Removing yourself from SmartBackgroundChecks may also clear PeopleFinders.

Afterward

Mark it as requested in your tracker. Once it's gone, search peoplefinders.com for your name again in about 3 months: sites like this re-list people when new records come in.

Still showing in Google?

Once your listing is gone, Google can keep showing the old result, with your details in the preview, until it visits the page again. To speed that up, right-click the result, choose Copy Link Address, and paste the link into Google's free Refresh Outdated Content tool. It works once the page itself is gone.
