PeopleLookup.com is a people search website that aggregates public records — including your name, address, phone number, email, and even relatives — into a single, searchable profile. If you've discovered your personal information on PeopleLookup, you're not alone. Here's how to remove it.
What Is PeopleLookup?
PeopleLookup.com is part of the PeopleConnect network, which also operates USSearch.com, Intelius, and several other people search sites. These sites compile publicly available data from government records, social media, and commercial databases into detailed personal profiles that anyone can access.
The information typically includes your full name and aliases, current and past home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, age and date of birth, names of relatives and associates, and in some cases, criminal records and court filings.
Why This Matters
Having your personal information freely available on PeopleLookup makes you vulnerable to identity theft, stalking, harassment, spam calls, and phishing scams. Removing your data is an important step in protecting your privacy.
How to Opt Out of PeopleLookup: Step-by-Step
PeopleLookup.com uses the PeopleConnect Suppression Center for opt-out requests. Because PeopleLookup redirects to USSearch.com, your removal request through PeopleConnect will cover both sites simultaneously.
Step 1: Search for Your Profile
Visit PeopleLookup.com and search for your name. Review the results to confirm that your personal information is listed on the site. Take note of the specific profile that matches your details — you'll need to identify it during the removal process.
Step 2: Access the PeopleConnect Suppression Center
Navigate to the PeopleConnect Suppression Center. This is the centralized portal that handles opt-out requests for PeopleLookup, USSearch, and other affiliated sites. You can also reach it by scrolling to the bottom of PeopleLookup.com and clicking the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link.
Step 3: Enter Your Email Address
Provide an email address where you can receive verification messages. We recommend using a secondary or disposable email address rather than your primary one to minimize additional data exposure. Click "Submit" to proceed.
Step 4: Verify Your Email
Check your inbox (and your spam or promotions folder) for a verification email from PeopleConnect. Click the verification link to confirm your identity and continue with the opt-out process.
Step 5: Provide Your Details
After verifying your email, you'll be asked to enter your name and date of birth. The system uses this information to locate your record in its database. Enter the details accurately to ensure the correct profile is found.
Step 6: Select and Suppress Your Record
Review the search results displayed and select the profile that matches your information. Click the option to set the record to "Suppressed." This tells PeopleConnect to remove the listing from public view.
Step 7: Confirm the Removal
After submitting your suppression request, wait a few days for the changes to take effect. Then return to PeopleLookup.com and search for your name again to confirm that your profile no longer appears in the results.

What Information Does PeopleLookup Collect?
PeopleLookup aggregates data from a wide range of public and commercial sources, including:
- Public records: Property records, voter registrations, court filings, and business filings
- Government databases: Census data, marriage and divorce records, and birth and death records
- Commercial sources: Marketing databases, consumer surveys, and warranty registrations
- Online sources: Social media profiles, website registrations, and publicly available web content
Important Limitations of Manual Opt-Out
While opting out of PeopleLookup directly is free and relatively straightforward, there are several limitations to be aware of:
- Data reappearance: Your information may reappear on PeopleLookup over time as data brokers continuously refresh their databases from public sources
- Network coverage: Opting out of PeopleLookup only covers the PeopleConnect network. Your information likely exists on dozens of other people search sites like Spokeo, BeenVerified, and Whitepages
- Ongoing monitoring: You'll need to periodically check PeopleLookup and re-submit removal requests if your data reappears
- Time investment: Manually opting out of every data broker individually can take 20 or more hours
