To opt out of AnyWho in 2026, visit the PeopleConnect Suppression Center at suppression.peopleconnect.us/login, verify your email within 15 minutes, enter your date of birth and legal name, select your record, and set visibility to "Suppressed." The process is free, takes about 10 minutes, and removes your listing within 3–5 business days.
What Information Does AnyWho Display?
AnyWho is an Intelius-owned white pages and reverse phone directory. Its free profiles aggregate data from public phone books, voter rolls, and property records, typically exposing:
- Full name and past aliases
- Current and past addresses
- Phone numbers — landline, mobile, and unlisted lines
- Age and date of birth
- Relatives and known associates
- Possible email addresses
Because Intelius is a PeopleConnect brand, your AnyWho listing is a mirror of the same profile powering TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, US Search, and ZabaSearch. Removing yourself from one clears all of them.
One Opt-Out, 9 Sites Cleared
Suppressing your data through PeopleConnect removes it from AnyWho, Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, US Search, Classmates.com, Addresses.com, PublicRecords.com, and PeopleFinder — arguably the most efficient opt-out in the data broker world.
Step 1: Confirm Your Listing on AnyWho
Go to anywho.com and search your name or phone number. Note the specific address, age, and relative names shown — you'll use these to identify the correct record during the suppression flow. If you appear under multiple variations (maiden name, hyphenated last name, old addresses), record each one.
Step 2: Open the PeopleConnect Suppression Center
AnyWho itself has no opt-out form. Scroll to the AnyWho footer and click "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information", or go directly to suppression.peopleconnect.us/login.
Step 3: Enter Email and Verify
Enter an email address, agree to the terms, and click Continue. Check your inbox for a verification email from PeopleConnect — subject line: "Confirm your email address." Click Verify Email. The link expires in 15 minutes, so have your inbox open before you start.
Step 4: Provide Personal Details
Enter your date of birth, first name, middle name, and last name. Confirm the verification statement. Providing full details helps the system match the exact record you want removed.
Step 5: Select Your Record
Choose the AnyWho record that matches the address, age, and relatives you noted in Step 1. If multiple records represent you (e.g., maiden name vs. married name, past states), you'll need to select and suppress each one separately.
Step 6: Set Visibility to Suppressed
On the Control screen, change Visibility Setting to Suppressed and click Save. Removal typically appears on AnyWho within 3–5 business days, sometimes as fast as 48 hours.
Prefer Full Deletion?
Suppression hides your record from public search but keeps it in PeopleConnect's internal system. For total deletion, click Delete My User Data on the control page, then confirm via the email link sent to you. Deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed.
The 15-Minute Verification Window
PeopleConnect's verification email link expires 15 minutes after it's sent. Check your inbox immediately and look in the spam folder if you don't see it right away. If it expires, restart from Step 3.

How Long Until AnyWho Actually Removes You?
Most removals complete in 3–5 business days. In some cases it can stretch to 30 days if PeopleConnect needs to manually verify you as the record owner. Return to anywho.com after 7 days and search your name to confirm. If you still see your listing, email privacy@peopleconnect.us or call (888) 245-1655 (Mon–Fri, 7 AM – 4 PM PT).
Tips to Save Time
- Use a disposable email address. PeopleConnect may add your email to marketing lists — a throwaway inbox keeps your primary email clean.
- Prep your data before starting. Have your legal name, date of birth, and a list of past addresses ready. The 15-minute window means you can't pause to look things up.
- Search for phone-number listings separately. Reverse-phone lookups on AnyWho sometimes show records that don't appear on name searches. Search each of your phone numbers to catch orphaned listings.
- Check every 3–6 months. PeopleConnect continuously imports fresh public records, and new listings can appear over time.
Cover All 100+ Data Brokers, Not Just AnyWho
Even with the PeopleConnect network cleared, you likely still appear on dozens of unrelated people-search sites like BeenVerified, Spokeo, Whitepages, MyLife, and Radaris. Each one has its own opt-out process and its own re-listing timeline.
PrivacyOn submits opt-out requests across 100+ data brokers, monitors continuously for re-listings, and re-submits whenever your data reappears. Plans start at $8.33/month, cover up to 5 family members, and include dark web monitoring. Run a free scan to see which brokers have your data right now.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is opting out of AnyWho free?
Yes. The PeopleConnect Suppression Center is completely free. Never pay a third party who claims they can remove your AnyWho listing — the official process costs nothing.
How long does AnyWho removal take?
Most listings are suppressed within 3–5 business days. Some cases take up to 30 days if manual verification is required. If nothing has changed after 7 business days, contact privacy@peopleconnect.us or call (888) 245-1655.
Does opting out of AnyWho also remove me from Intelius and TruthFinder?
Yes. Because AnyWho, Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, US Search, Classmates, Addresses.com, PublicRecords.com, and PeopleFinder are all owned by PeopleConnect, a single suppression request clears your data from all nine sites.
Why can't I opt out on AnyWho.com directly?
AnyWho doesn't operate its own opt-out infrastructure. PeopleConnect centralized removals across all of its brands into one Suppression Center. This is why the AnyWho footer redirects you to Intelius' Data Privacy Center.
Will my AnyWho listing come back after I opt out?
It can. PeopleConnect regularly refreshes its data from public records, and if a new record contains your info under a slightly different name or address, a fresh listing may be created. Check every 3–6 months or use PrivacyOn to monitor and re-submit automatically.
What if I have multiple AnyWho listings?
You'll need to suppress each one individually. Maiden names, hyphenated last names, and past addresses often create separate records. During Step 5 of the opt-out, select and suppress each variant that belongs to you.
