NeighborWho is a people search and property data site that aggregates public records to create detailed profiles including your home address, property details, estimated home value, and information about your neighbors. If you've found your personal data on NeighborWho and want it removed, here's exactly how to opt out.
What Information Does NeighborWho Display?
NeighborWho pulls data from public records and other sources to build profiles that may include:
- Full name and known aliases
- Current and past home addresses
- Property details: lot size, square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, year built
- Estimated property value and sale history
- Neighbor information: names and details of people living nearby
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- Age and date of birth
- Known relatives and associates
This combination of property data and personal details makes NeighborWho particularly concerning for homeowners who want to keep their address private — especially domestic violence survivors, public figures, or anyone dealing with harassment.
How to Opt Out of NeighborWho: Step-by-Step
NeighborWho is operated by BeenVerified, so the opt-out process routes through BeenVerified's system. Follow these steps carefully:
-
Go to the opt-out page:
Visit neighborwho.com/svc/optout/search/optouts and click "Do not sell my personal information." You'll be redirected to BeenVerified's opt-out system.
-
Search for your listing:
Enter your first name, last name, and state. Browse the results to find your profile.
-
Select your profile:
Find the listing that matches your information and click "Proceed to opt out."
-
Enter your email and complete the CAPTCHA:
Provide a valid email address (consider using a disposable one) and complete the CAPTCHA verification.
-
Verify via email:
Check your inbox for a verification email and click the "Verify opt out" link to confirm your request.
-
Wait for processing:
Removal typically takes 24-72 hours, though NeighborWho officially states 7-14 days for full processing across all systems.
Pro Tip: Search Multiple Ways
Search for yourself by both name and address on NeighborWho. You may have multiple listings — one under your name and separate ones tied to each property you've owned. Submit opt-out requests for every listing you find.
What to Do If the Opt-Out Form Doesn't Work
If you encounter issues with the online opt-out process, you have alternative options:
- Email directly: Send a removal request to privacy@neighborwho.com or call 1-866-202-7417. Include the URL(s) of your listing(s) and clearly state that you want your personal information removed.
- Submit a privacy rights request: If you live in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or another state with consumer privacy laws, you can invoke your rights under those laws to demand deletion of your personal data.
- Document everything: Take screenshots of your listings and save copies of all correspondence. This creates a paper trail if you need to escalate.
Warning: Your Data May Reappear
NeighborWho continuously pulls from public records databases. Even after a successful opt-out, your information may be re-added the next time they refresh their data. You'll need to monitor and re-submit opt-out requests periodically — potentially every few months.
Why NeighborWho Is Especially Concerning
Unlike general people search sites, NeighborWho combines personal identity data with detailed property records. This means anyone searching for your address can find not just your name, but:
- How much your home is worth
- When you bought it and for how much
- Who your neighbors are
- Your personal contact information
This level of detail can be exploited by scammers targeting homeowners, burglars looking for high-value properties, or stalkers trying to locate someone.
The Bigger Picture: NeighborWho Is Just One Site
NeighborWho is one of dozens of property-focused data sites. Similar information about you likely appears on sites like PropertyShark, Zillow, Redfin, and other property aggregators, in addition to the 100+ people search sites that publish your personal details.
Opting out of each site individually is time-consuming and requires ongoing vigilance. PrivacyOn automates the entire process — submitting and monitoring opt-out requests across 100+ data broker sites, including property-focused sites like NeighborWho. With 24/7 monitoring, PrivacyOn catches reappearances and removes your data again automatically, so you don't have to keep checking back.
