How to Opt Out of Glad I Know (2026 Guide)

Glad I Know (GladIKnow.com) is a people-search and data-broker site that offers people search, address lookup, and reverse phone lookup services. Although it currently redirects visitors to TruthFinder.com, your data may still be indexed under the Glad I Know brand. This 2026 guide walks you through every way to opt out of Glad I Know, remove your records, and make sure your information doesn't linger on related sites.

What Information Does Glad I Know Expose?

Glad I Know aggregates public records and commercial data to build searchable profiles. A typical listing can include:

• Full name, age, and date of birth
• Current and previous home addresses
• Phone numbers (landline and mobile)
• Email addresses
• Known relatives and associates
• Court and criminal records

Because Glad I Know now redirects to TruthFinder, the data you see may be pulled directly from TruthFinder's database. That overlap means you'll need to address both sites to fully protect your privacy.

Why You Should Opt Out of Glad I Know

Even though Glad I Know funnels traffic to TruthFinder, cached pages, old links, and search-engine results can still surface your personal details under the GladIKnow.com domain. Anyone with your name can find your address, phone number, and family connections in seconds — giving scammers, stalkers, and robocallers a convenient starting point. Removing yourself from Glad I Know closes one more door on your personal data.

How to Opt Out of Glad I Know (Step by Step)

1. Visit GladIKnow.com. Open gladiknow.com in your browser. If the site redirects you to TruthFinder, navigate back to the Glad I Know opt-out or removal page directly.
2. Search for yourself. Use the people-search tool to look up your name. Try variations (middle name, maiden name) and different states if you've moved.
3. Find your record. Review the results and identify the listing that matches your information — check the age, city, and associated names to make sure it's yours.
4. Click "Opt out / Remove my data." Once you're on your record page, look for the opt-out or data-removal link.
5. Scroll down and solve the CAPTCHA. Complete the CAPTCHA challenge to prove you're a real person.
6. Click "Remove my information." Submit the removal request. You should see a confirmation message on screen.

Alternative Ways to Opt Out

If you can't complete the online process — for example, if the site redirects before you reach the opt-out page — you have two other options:

Call the Customer Care Team

Phone 1-(800)-622-0474 during business hours. Ask the representative to remove your listing from Glad I Know. Have your full name, city, and state ready so they can locate your record quickly.

Send an Email Request

Email support@gladiknow.com with the subject line "Data Removal Request." Include:

• Your full legal name (and any name variations that may appear)
• City and state
• A link to your Glad I Know listing, if you can find one
• A clear statement that you want all records associated with your identity removed

Keep a copy of your sent email as proof of the request in case you need to follow up.

Tips for a Successful Removal

• Try multiple name variations. Search for your full legal name, nicknames, and maiden name. You may have more than one listing.
• Check every state you've lived in. People-search sites often create separate records per location.
• Screenshot your opt-out confirmation. Save evidence of your request and the date you submitted it.
• Follow up after one week. Re-search your name on GladIKnow.com (or wherever it redirects) to confirm the record is gone.
• Use a disposable email if offered a form. Some opt-out forms ask for an email address, and there's no reason to hand over your primary one.

Will Your Information Come Back?

It can. People-search sites rebuild profiles from fresh public-record feeds, so a new filing — a home purchase, a court record, a voter registration update — can put you right back in the database weeks or months after removal. There's no permanent block with a one-time request, which is why periodic re-checks are necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Glad I Know opt-out free?

Yes. You should never have to pay to remove your personal information from Glad I Know. The online opt-out, phone request, and email request are all free.

What if GladIKnow.com just redirects me to TruthFinder?

If the website redirects before you can access an opt-out page, use the phone number (1-(800)-622-0474) or email (support@gladiknow.com) to request removal directly. You should also opt out of TruthFinder separately.

Does opting out of Glad I Know remove me from other people-search sites?

No. Each data broker maintains its own database and opt-out process. Removing yourself from Glad I Know has no effect on sites like Instant Checkmate, BeenVerified, or any other broker. You'll need to go through each one individually — or use a service that handles them all at once.

How do I know if my removal was successful?

Wait a few days after submitting your request, then search for yourself on GladIKnow.com again. If the site redirects, try searching your name plus "Glad I Know" on Google to see if any cached pages still appear. If your listing is gone, the removal was successful.

Can I opt out on behalf of a family member?

Most data brokers require the request to come from the person whose data is listed, or from a legal representative with documented authority. If you're helping a family member, have them send the email or make the call themselves, or include proof of authorization.

The Bigger Picture: Glad I Know Is Just One Broker

Glad I Know is one of dozens of people-search sites exposing your personal information, and its connection to TruthFinder is a reminder of how interconnected the data-broker ecosystem is. Removing yourself from one site at a time is possible but tedious — and records tend to reappear as new data is published.

PrivacyOn scans more than 100 data brokers, files opt-out requests on your behalf, and monitors continuously so returning listings get caught and removed automatically. Instead of repeating this process across every broker, you can handle them all in one place. Start with our complete data-broker opt-out guide to see the full list of sites you should address.
