Pub360.com is a data broker and people-search site that collects and publishes personal information including phone numbers, residential addresses, social media accounts, and even civil court records. If your profile is on Pub360, anyone can look you up for free. Here's how to remove your information.
What Is Pub360?
Pub360 operates as a people-search engine that aggregates data from public records, social media platforms, and other data broker networks. The site allows anyone to search for individuals by name, city, or state and view detailed personal profiles.
The information Pub360 collects is also sold to third-party companies for lead generation, data enhancement, and email marketing purposes. This means your personal details aren't just visible on Pub360 — they may be distributed across a wide network of businesses and marketing databases.
What Information Does Pub360 Expose?
A Pub360 profile typically includes:
- Full name and known aliases
- Phone numbers (current and historical)
- Home addresses (current and previous)
- Email addresses
- Social media profiles
- Age and date of birth
- Known relatives and associates
- Civil court records
Data Resale Risk
Pub360 doesn't just display your data — it sells it to third parties for marketing and lead generation. Even after removing your Pub360 profile, copies of your data may already exist in other marketing databases that purchased it.
How to Opt Out of Pub360: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Find Your Profile
Go to Pub360.com and enter your full name along with your city or state in the "People Information Deep Search" section. Click the search button to find your listing.
Step 2: View Your Full Profile
From the search results, locate the profile that matches your information and click the View Profile button to see your complete listing.
Step 3: Access the Opt-Out Form
Scroll to the bottom of your profile page and look for the Control Profile link. Click on it to be directed to the opt-out form, which will automatically include your profile URL.
Step 4: Complete the Opt-Out Form
Fill in the required fields on the opt-out form:
- Your full name
- An email address (use a disposable email if possible)
- Complete the CAPTCHA security check
Click the Submit Opt Out Request button.
Step 5: Confirm via Email
Check the email address you provided for a confirmation message from Pub360. Click the provided link to verify your opt-out request. This step is required — if you don't click the confirmation link, your request will not be processed.
Step 6: Verify Removal
Allow a few days for processing, then search for your name on Pub360 again to confirm your profile has been removed.
Use a Disposable Email
Data brokers are known to add contact information from opt-out forms to their marketing databases. When submitting any opt-out request, consider using a disposable email alias to avoid receiving additional spam.
What If You Have Multiple Profiles?
If you've lived in multiple cities or have had different phone numbers over the years, Pub360 may have created separate profiles for each. Search using different combinations of your name and previous locations to find all listings. You'll need to submit a separate opt-out request for each profile.
Will Your Data Reappear?
Unfortunately, yes. Like most data brokers, Pub360 continuously scrapes public records and acquires new data from partner networks. Your information can reappear on the site within weeks or months of a successful opt-out. The only way to ensure permanent removal is ongoing monitoring and repeated opt-out submissions.
PrivacyOn handles this automatically. The service continuously monitors 100+ data broker sites, including Pub360, and resubmits removal requests whenever your information resurfaces — so you never have to repeat this process manually.
