Persopo is a people-search website that compiles personal data from public records and other sources, making your name, address, phone number, criminal history, and family connections easily searchable by anyone. If you've found your information on Persopo and want it removed, this guide walks you through the complete opt-out process.
What Is Persopo?
Persopo.com is a people-search directory and background check service based in Las Vegas, Nevada. It aggregates data from public records, court filings, social media profiles, and commercial data sources to build detailed profiles on individuals. The information Persopo collects and displays can include:
- Full name and known aliases
- Current and past addresses
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- Criminal records and arrest history
- Marriage and divorce records
- Information about relatives and associates
- Property ownership records
This type of freely accessible personal data can put you at risk for identity theft, stalking, harassment, and unwanted contact from marketers or scammers.
How to Opt Out of Persopo: Step-by-Step
Persopo doesn't use an automated opt-out form like some other people-search sites. Instead, you need to submit your request via email or postal mail. Here's exactly how to do it:
Step 1: Find Your Listing on Persopo
Go to Persopo.com and search for your name using your full name, city, and state. Browse the results until you find the listing that matches your identity. Do not click into the full profile. Instead, stay on the preview page.
Step 2: Copy Your Profile Information
Highlight all of the information shown in your profile preview — including your name, location, age, and any other identifying details. Copy this text. You'll need to include it in your opt-out request so Persopo can identify which record to remove.
Step 3: Send an Opt-Out Email
Compose an email to support@persopo.com with the following:
- Subject line: "Opt-Out Request — [Your Full Name]"
- In the body, clearly state that you want your personal information removed from Persopo.com
- Paste the profile preview information you copied in Step 2
- Include any additional identifying details that will help them locate your record
Sample Opt-Out Email
Subject: Opt-Out Request — Jane Doe
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to request the removal of my personal information from Persopo.com. Please find my listing details below:
[Paste your copied profile preview here]
Please remove all records associated with my name and confirm once the removal is complete.
Thank you,
Jane Doe
Step 4: Alternative — Send a Written Request by Mail
If you prefer to submit your opt-out request by postal mail, you can print out the information from your profile preview and mail it along with a written removal request to:
Persopo Opt Out Dept.
848 N. Rainbow Blvd., Suite 20
Las Vegas, NV 89107
Step 5: Wait for Processing
Persopo typically processes opt-out requests within 10 to 20 business days. After that period, search for your name again on Persopo.com to confirm your listing has been removed.
What to Do If Your Information Reappears
Like most people-search sites, Persopo regularly refreshes its database with new public records. This means your information could reappear even after a successful opt-out. To stay protected:
- Set a reminder to check Persopo every 3 to 6 months
- Resubmit your opt-out request immediately if your listing comes back
- Consider a data removal service like PrivacyOn that continuously monitors and removes your data from 100+ broker sites
Persopo Isn't the Only Site With Your Data
Persopo is just one of hundreds of people-search sites that may have your personal information. Other sites like Spokeo, BeenVerified, WhitePages, and TruePeopleSearch pull from similar data sources. Removing yourself from one site doesn't affect the others — you'll need to opt out of each one individually, or use a comprehensive removal service.
Why Manual Opt-Outs Aren't Enough
Manually opting out of people-search sites is time-consuming and often temporary. Each site has its own process, and your data can be re-listed at any time. With hundreds of data brokers operating online, staying on top of every single one is nearly impossible for most people.
This is where automated data removal services like PrivacyOn can help. PrivacyOn monitors over 100 data broker sites — including Persopo — and automatically submits removal requests on your behalf. With 24/7 monitoring, your information is continuously scanned and removed whenever it reappears, so you don't have to keep checking manually.
Protect Your Privacy Beyond Persopo
Removing your data from Persopo is an important step, but it's just one piece of a broader privacy strategy. Here are additional steps you should take:
- Google yourself regularly to see what information is publicly available
- Lock down your social media privacy settings to limit what data brokers can scrape
- Freeze your credit at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) to prevent identity theft
- Use unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication on all accounts
- Opt out of other data brokers — check our guides for Spokeo, BeenVerified, WhitePages, and more
Taking control of your personal information takes effort, but every opt-out request you submit puts you one step closer to real privacy. Whether you handle it yourself or let PrivacyOn do the heavy lifting, the important thing is to start now.
