LookupAnyone is a people-search site that promises instant access to background checks, contact details, and public records. But there is a catch that makes opting out more complicated than usual: LookupAnyone does not maintain its own independent database. Instead, it is powered by TruthFinder and Intelius, and searches on the site redirect to those upstream providers. To truly remove your information from LookupAnyone, you need to opt out of the sources that feed it.
What LookupAnyone Exposes About You
A search on LookupAnyone can surface:
- Full name, age, and date of birth
- Current and past addresses
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- Names of relatives and associates
- Criminal and court records
- Property and asset information
- Social media profiles
Because the data comes from TruthFinder and Intelius — two of the largest people-search aggregators in the United States — the profiles can be surprisingly detailed and up to date.
How LookupAnyone Works (and Why This Matters for Opt-Out)
When you search for someone on LookupAnyone, the site does not query its own database. Instead, it redirects your search to TruthFinder. In some cases, searches may also redirect through US Search, which is itself a brand operated by Intelius. This means LookupAnyone is essentially a front end — a doorway into databases maintained by other companies.
This is important because opting out of LookupAnyone directly is not possible in the traditional sense. There is no LookupAnyone-specific opt-out form. To remove your information, you must go to the source: TruthFinder and Intelius.
One site, multiple sources
LookupAnyone is part of an interconnected web of people-search brands. Removing yourself from one front-end site does nothing if the upstream database still has your records. Always opt out at the source.
Step 1: Opt Out of TruthFinder
Since LookupAnyone's primary data source is TruthFinder, this is the most important removal to complete:
- Go to TruthFinder's privacy center. Navigate to truthfinder.com/privacy-center/ in your browser.
- Click “Manage My Suppression Rules.” This is the opt-out option on the privacy center page.
- Search for your record. Enter your first name, last name, and state to find your listing.
- Select your profile. Identify the correct record by checking the age, location, and listed relatives.
- Submit the opt-out request. Follow the on-screen prompts to request suppression of your record.
- Verify by email. TruthFinder will send a confirmation email. Click the verification link to finalize the request. Your removal will not be processed until this step is completed.
TruthFinder typically processes verified removal requests within 72 hours. For a more detailed walkthrough, see our full guide on how to opt out of TruthFinder.
Step 2: Opt Out of Intelius
Because LookupAnyone may also route searches through US Search — a brand within the Intelius family — you should opt out of Intelius as well to ensure complete coverage:
- Go to Intelius's opt-out page. Navigate to intelius.com/opt-out in your browser.
- Search for your record. Enter your name and state to find your listing in the Intelius database.
- Select the correct profile. Match by age, city, and relatives to identify your record.
- Submit the removal request. Complete the opt-out form as instructed.
- Verify by email. Intelius sends a confirmation email. Click the link to finalize the removal.
Intelius removals typically process within 72 hours of email verification. For the complete process, see our guide on how to opt out of Intelius.
Opt out of both sources
Opting out of TruthFinder alone may not be enough. Because LookupAnyone can pull from multiple upstream providers, you should complete the opt-out process for both TruthFinder and Intelius to ensure your data does not remain accessible through any redirect path.
Step 3: Check Related People-Search Sites
TruthFinder and Intelius each operate multiple affiliated brands that share data. If your information appears on LookupAnyone, it almost certainly appears on these sites as well:
- TruthFinder affiliates: Nuwber, PeopleLooker, InstantCheckmate
- Intelius affiliates: US Search, Zabasearch, Addresses.com, PeopleFinder
Each of these sites has its own opt-out process. Opting out of the parent company (TruthFinder or Intelius) may suppress your data across some affiliates, but not always all of them. Check each one individually to be thorough.
How Long Does Removal Take?
Once you have verified your opt-out requests with both TruthFinder and Intelius:
- TruthFinder: Removal typically completes within 72 hours
- Intelius: Removal typically completes within 72 hours
- LookupAnyone: Since LookupAnyone pulls from these sources in real time, your LookupAnyone results should stop showing data once the upstream removals take effect
Search for yourself on LookupAnyone a week after completing both opt-outs to confirm your information is no longer accessible.
Will Your Data Reappear?
Yes, it likely will. Both TruthFinder and Intelius continuously refresh their databases from public records and commercial data sources. When new data matching your identity enters their system — a new address, a voter registration update, a property transaction — your profile can be rebuilt. Because LookupAnyone pulls from these sources, your information will reappear on LookupAnyone as well.
Plan to re-check your listings every 3 to 6 months. If your data has reappeared, you will need to repeat the opt-out process with both TruthFinder and Intelius.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I opt out directly on LookupAnyone?
No. LookupAnyone does not have its own opt-out form because it does not maintain its own database. You must opt out of the upstream data providers (TruthFinder and Intelius) that supply the data.
Is the opt-out process free?
Yes. Opting out of both TruthFinder and Intelius is completely free. You should never pay to have your own personal information removed from a people-search site.
Will opting out of TruthFinder remove me from all TruthFinder-powered sites?
It should suppress your data on most TruthFinder-powered properties, but not necessarily all affiliated brands. Check each site individually to be sure.
How do I know if my removal was successful?
Search for yourself on LookupAnyone one week after completing both opt-outs. If your profile no longer appears or returns no results, the removal was successful.
Let PrivacyOn Remove You From All Connected Sites
LookupAnyone is a perfect example of why removing yourself from data brokers is so complicated. One site pulls from two upstream providers, which each power dozens of affiliated brands. Opting out of each one manually — and repeating the process every few months when your data reappears — is exhausting.
PrivacyOn handles all of this automatically. It removes your information from TruthFinder, Intelius, their affiliated brands, and 100+ other data brokers. When any of these sites relist you, PrivacyOn detects the reappearance through 24/7 monitoring and files a new removal request immediately. One subscription covers the entire ecosystem of interconnected people-search sites — so you do not have to trace the data trail yourself.
