Persopo is a people search site that aggregates and displays personal information including your name, age, address, phone number, email, and even possible relatives. If you've searched for yourself on Persopo and found your data exposed, here's how to remove it.
What Information Does Persopo Have About You?
Persopo collects data from public records, social media profiles, marketing databases, and other data brokers to build detailed profiles on individuals. A typical Persopo listing may include:
- Full name and any known aliases
- Current and past addresses
- Phone numbers (landline and mobile)
- Email addresses
- Age and date of birth
- Known relatives and associates
- Social media profiles
This information is freely accessible to anyone who searches for you, making it a serious privacy concern. Stalkers, scammers, and identity thieves can all use this data to target you.
How to Opt Out of Persopo: Step-by-Step
The Persopo opt-out process requires you to email their support team directly. Here's exactly how to do it:
Step 1: Find Your Listing
Go to Persopo.com and search for your name. Browse through the results until you find the listing that matches you. Verify it's your profile by checking the age, location, and listed relatives.
Step 2: Copy Your Listing Information
Once you've found your listing, copy the entire listing in text format. This is critical — Persopo does not accept screenshots or links. You need to copy and paste the actual text content of your profile, including your name, address, age, and any other details shown.
Step 3: Send an Opt-Out Email
Compose an email to support@persopo.com with the following details:
- Subject line: "Opt-Out Request"
- Body: Request the removal of your personal information, and paste the copied listing text so they can identify the correct record
Use a Disposable Email Address
Never use your primary email to contact a data broker. Data brokers are known to add your email to their databases when you contact them — even when you're asking to be removed. Use a disposable email service or create a dedicated email alias for opt-out requests.
Step 4: Wait for Removal
Persopo typically processes opt-out requests within 10 to 20 business days. After this period, search for yourself again on the site to confirm your listing has been removed.
Alternative: Opt Out by Mail
If you prefer not to use email, you can send a written opt-out request to:
Opt Out Department
848 N. Rainbow Blvd., Suite 20
Las Vegas, NV 89107
What Happens After You Opt Out?
Once Persopo processes your request, they will remove your personal information from their website. They also add your name to an exclusion list maintained with their data providers to prevent your information from being re-added.
However, there's an important caveat: if Persopo receives new information from their data sources that their systems cannot match to your previous opt-out request, those new records may be added to their database. This means your information could reappear over time.
Why Your Data Keeps Coming Back
Data brokers like Persopo continuously collect information from public records, marketing lists, and other brokers. Even after a successful opt-out, your data can reappear within 60 to 90 days. This is why ongoing monitoring is essential — and why services like PrivacyOn continuously monitor and re-submit removal requests on your behalf.
Persopo Is Just One of Hundreds of Data Brokers
While removing your information from Persopo is an important step, it's just one of over 100 data broker and people search sites that may have your personal information. Other major sites include Spokeo, BeenVerified, Whitepages, TruePeopleSearch, and many more.
Manually opting out of each site is time-consuming and repetitive. Each broker has a different process — some require email, some use online forms, and some require you to mail physical letters. And because your data frequently reappears, you'd need to repeat this process every few months.
