How to Opt Out of InfoTracer

InfoTracer is a data broker and people-search site that aggregates public records, background check data, and other personal information into detailed profiles. If you've searched for yourself online and found your name, address, phone number, or relatives listed on InfoTracer, here's exactly how to get that information removed.

What Information Does InfoTracer Have?

InfoTracer compiles data from a wide range of public and commercial sources, creating profiles that can include:

• Full name and known aliases
• Current and past addresses
• Phone numbers and email addresses
• Age, date of birth, and relatives
• Court and criminal records
• Property ownership records
• Social media profiles
• Bankruptcies and liens

This information is available to anyone willing to pay for a search or subscribe to InfoTracer's services, which makes it a significant privacy concern — especially for people trying to keep their home address or phone number private.

How to Opt Out of InfoTracer: Step-by-Step

InfoTracer offers a free opt-out process through their website. Here's how to complete it:

1. Visit the opt-out page: Go to infotracer.com/optout/ in your browser.
2. Search for your record: Enter your first name, last name, state, and city, then click Submit.
3. Select your listing: Browse the results and find your record. Check the box under "Select Record" next to your listing.
4. Click "Remove Data": Click the red Remove Data button to initiate the removal request.
5. Enter your email: Provide an email address, complete the CAPTCHA verification, and submit the form.
6. Check your email: Look for a confirmation email from InfoTracer. Check your spam or junk folder if you don't see it within a few minutes.
7. Click the verification link: Open the email and click the verification link to finalize your removal request.

How Long Does Removal Take?

InfoTracer states that removal requests are processed within 24 to 48 hours after you verify your email. In practice, some users report it can take 48 to 72 hours, and during high-volume periods, up to 7 to 14 days.

If the online form doesn't work or you prefer alternative methods, you can also contact InfoTracer directly:

• Email: privacy@infotracer.com
• Phone: (844) 777-0503 (8am–6pm EST, 7 days/week)
• Mail: Data Management Dept, InfoTracer, PO Box 103068, Boston, MA 02113

Requests submitted by email or mail are typically processed within 30 days.

Important Things to Know

• Use a disposable email address. Data brokers have been known to add contact information from opt-out requests to their own databases. Use a throwaway email address rather than your primary one.
• Clear Google's cache. Even after InfoTracer removes your listing, the cached version may still appear in Google search results. Use Google's Outdated Content Removal Tool to request that the cached page be removed.
• InfoTracer is just one of many. Your information likely appears on dozens of other data broker and people-search sites like Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, and more. Removing yourself from InfoTracer alone won't fully protect your privacy.

Why Manual Opt-Outs Aren't Enough

The fundamental problem with opting out of InfoTracer — or any single data broker — is that there are hundreds of similar sites, and they all continuously repopulate their databases from public records and commercial data sources. Removing yourself from one site while your information remains on dozens of others provides only a false sense of security.

This is exactly why services like PrivacyOn exist. PrivacyOn automates the opt-out process across 100+ data broker sites simultaneously, including InfoTracer and many others. More importantly, PrivacyOn provides continuous monitoring — so when your data inevitably reappears (and it will), it gets flagged and removed again automatically. Instead of spending hours each year manually checking and re-submitting opt-out forms, you can let PrivacyOn handle it all for you.
