How to remove yourself from PeopleFinders
PeopleFinders is a people-search site. Sites like this build listings from public records and purchased data, often with your address, age, phone number and relatives. Here's how to ask it to remove you, for free. You don't need Free My ID to do this.
What you'll need
- The web address of your listing on PeopleFinders (you find it by searching for yourself)
- An email address for removals (a separate one just for this is best)
- A few minutes to open the email PeopleFinders sends and click its link. If you skip this, the request may not go through.
Step by step
Search for yourself on PeopleFinders and open your listing.
Copy the web address of that listing.
Paste it on the opt-out page and type your removal email.
Open the email they send and click its link within 24 hours.
Opens www.peoplefinders.com, PeopleFinders's own website.
We haven't been able to check these steps against PeopleFinders's live page yet. Sites change their pages often, so if something looks different, follow what the page says.
You should never have to pay to be removed. If a people-search site asks for money or your Social Security number, stop.
Or let Free My ID do it
Free My ID opens PeopleFinders's removal page in your own browser, with these steps beside it and a Copy button for each box. On sites that allow it, it can fill the boxes in while you watch. You tick any "I'm not a robot" box yourself. Then it checks again later, because sites can list people again.
