How to Opt Out of CocoFinder

CocoFinder is a people search website that claims to have over 10 billion records sourced from government agencies, court filings, property records, and telecommunications directories. Your name, address, phone number, and even criminal records may be publicly visible on their site — here's how to remove them.

What Information Does CocoFinder Display?

CocoFinder profiles can include a wide range of personal data:

• Full name, aliases, and date of birth
• Current and previous addresses
• Phone numbers and email addresses
• Photos
• Relatives and known associates
• Employment and education history
• Property records and real estate transactions
• Criminal history, court records, and traffic tickets
• Social media profiles

This data comes from government agencies, judicial archives, property assessors, telecommunications directories, voter registrations, and other public sources.

How to Remove Your Information From CocoFinder

CocoFinder's opt-out process uses a Google Form, which is unusual among data brokers. The process is free but requires a Google account. Here's how it works:

1. Search for your listing:

   Go to cocofinder.com and use the People Search feature. Enter your first name, last name, city, and state, then click "Start Search."

2. Find and open your profile:

   Locate yourself in the results and click the "Check Details" button.

3. Copy your profile URL:

   Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar. This is required — requests submitted without a profile URL are automatically rejected.

4. Navigate to the opt-out page:

   Scroll to the bottom of your profile page and click "Remove My Info." This opens the removal page in a new tab.

5. Open the Google Form:

   On the Remove My Info page, find and click the blue hyperlink that says "filling out this form." This opens a Google Forms opt-out submission.

6. Fill out the form:

   Provide your full name, email address, paste your copied profile URL, and state your reason for opting out. Click Submit.

7. Check for a confirmation email:

   CocoFinder may send a confirmation email with a verification link. If they do, you must click it or the request will not be processed.

8. Verify removal:

   After 48 hours, search for yourself again on CocoFinder to confirm your listing has been removed.

What If the Google Form Is Broken?

Multiple users have reported that the Google Form link on CocoFinder's opt-out page is sometimes broken or dead. If this happens:

• Try again in a few days — the link may be restored
• Email support@cocofinder.com with your full name and profile URL requesting removal (note: email responses from CocoFinder can be slow or nonexistent)
• If you're a California resident, cite your CCPA rights (right to deletion, right to opt out of sale) to strengthen your request

Tips and Gotchas

• Use a disposable email. Data brokers may add your email to marketing lists when you contact them, even for opt-out purposes.
• Provide minimal information. Only share what's strictly necessary. Details in opt-out requests can sometimes end up in future reports.
• A Google account is required for the form submission. If you don't have one, use the email alternative.
• Support emails are often ignored. Multiple sources confirm that emails to support@cocofinder.com frequently go unanswered. The Google Form is more reliable when it works.

Comprehensive Privacy Protection

Removing yourself from CocoFinder is one step, but your data likely exists on dozens of other people-search and data broker sites. Each requires its own opt-out process, and most will re-add your data over time.

PrivacyOn automates removal requests across 100+ data broker sites and continuously monitors for re-listings. Instead of manually tracking opt-outs and checking for reappearances, PrivacyOn handles it all — keeping your personal information off the internet on an ongoing basis.
