How to remove yourself from Spokeo

Steps

1. Search spokeo.com for your name and open your listing. Copy its web address.
2. Open Spokeo's opt-out page, paste the address and enter your email.
3. Click the link in the confirmation email.
4. Repeat for each separate listing (for example one per city you've lived in).

If that doesn't work

You can also email privacy@spokeo.com. Spokeo notes that listings can reappear, so check back.

Afterward

Mark it as requested in your tracker. Once it's gone, search spokeo.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 To speed that up, right-click the result, choose Copy Link Address, and paste the link into Google's free Refresh Outdated Content tool.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.
