1. Search your name (add city/state) at whitepages.com and open the listing that's actually you — check age range and relatives before proceeding.
2. Copy the full profile URL from the address bar.
3. Go to whitepages.com/privacy/consumer-rights (or the homepage footer link "Do Not Sell My Personal Information") and paste the URL.
4. Confirm the listing is yours, click Remove Me, and pick a reason from the dropdown.
5. Enter a phone number you can answer, check the ownership box, and start the verification call. Enter the code it gives you.
6. Recheck in about 72 hours. If it's still up, contact Whitepages support with your submission date and URL.

1. Search your name, phone, or email at spokeo.com and open the matching profile.

3. Go to spokeo.com/optout, paste the URL, enter an email address, and complete the CAPTCHA.
4. Open the confirmation email and click the verification link — nothing is removed until you do.
5. Recheck in 24–72 hours. New listings can appear later, so a repeat search every so often is worthwhile.

1. Go to beenverified.com, scroll to the footer, and click "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" — not the regular search bar.
2. Search your name and state, then compare age, city, and relatives carefully — common names return several near-matches.
3. Click Proceed to Opt Out on the right listing, enter an email, and complete the CAPTCHA. No account needed.
4. Open the email and click Verify Opt-Out.
5. If more than one profile shows up (old address, maiden name), repeat the process for each — removals aren't identity-wide.
6. Recheck after a few days. If a listing sticks around, email support@beenverified.com or call (888) 579-5910.

1. Go to intelius.com, scroll to the footer, and click "Exercise My Data Privacy Rights."
2. Click View Public Data Tools, then Manage My Suppression Rules — this opens the shared PeopleConnect Suppression Center.
3. Enter an email you control, agree to the terms, and click the verification link sent to your inbox (it expires in 15 minutes).
4. Enter your date of birth and legal name, then pick your profile from the matching records — check age, cities, and relatives.
5. Choose a partially-hidden email or phone shown on screen, request a code, and enter it.
6. Find your record and set its visibility to Suppressed, then save.
7. Recheck after 48–72 hours. One suppression here also clears TruthFinder, InstantCheckmate, and USSearch — and PeopleFinder, which redirects to Intelius.

1. MyLife's web form is unreliable — call 1-888-704-1900 directly. Have your profile URL ready if you can find it on mylife.com first.
2. Tell the rep you want your free public listing removed. They may pitch a paid subscription — you can decline and the removal still proceeds.
3. If you'd rather not call, email membersupport@mylife.com with your name, profile URL, and a clear removal request — expect a slower turnaround.
4. Ignore the "Reputation Score" on your listing — it's a marketing metric, not a background check (the FTC fined MyLife over it in 2020).
5. MyLife listings tend to reappear on a 6–12 month cycle. Set a calendar reminder rather than checking right away.
