• Full name and known aliases

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

The opt-out process for NewEnglandFacts is relatively straightforward, but you'll need to verify your identity via email. Follow these steps:

1. Search for your profile:

   Go to newenglandfacts.com and use the search bar on the homepage. Enter your full name and browse the results to find your listing.

2. Click "Control this Profile":

   Once you've located your profile in the search results, look for the "Control this Profile" button to the right of your listing and click it.

3. Complete the opt-out form:

   You'll be taken to an opt-out form. Enter your full name and a valid email address, then click "Submit Opt Out Request."

Alternative Removal Method

If you're having trouble with the online opt-out form, you can also send a removal request directly via email to csr@newenglandfacts.com. Include your full name and a link to the specific profile you want removed.

Tips for Successful Removal

• Use a disposable email: When submitting your opt-out request, consider using a temporary or secondary email address rather than your primary one. Data brokers have been known to add contact information from opt-out requests to their databases.
• Search for variations: Try searching for your name with different spellings, maiden names, or nicknames. You may have multiple listings on the site.
• Take screenshots: Document your profile and the opt-out steps in case you need to follow up or dispute incomplete removals.
• Check back in 30 days: Verify that your profile has been fully removed. Data brokers frequently refresh their databases, and your information could reappear.

Why Manual Opt-Outs Aren't Enough

NewEnglandFacts is just one of over 100 data broker sites that may be exposing your personal information. Removing yourself from each one individually is a time-consuming process that requires constant vigilance, since many brokers re-list your data after a few months.

A service like PrivacyOn automates this entire process. PrivacyOn continuously monitors 100+ data broker sites, submits opt-out requests on your behalf, and ensures your information stays removed over time. Instead of spending hours tracking down and removing your data manually, PrivacyOn handles it all for you with 24/7 monitoring and regular re-checks.
