How to Opt Out of QuickPeopleTrace

Don't want to do this by hand? We remove your info from 100+ broker sites automatically.

QuickPeopleTrace is a people search site that lets anyone look up personal information including your name, address, phone number, email, relatives, and more. The site pulls its data from PeopleFinders.com's database, which means your information is being distributed across multiple platforms. Here's how to remove your data from QuickPeopleTrace and stop it from resurfacing.

What Information Does QuickPeopleTrace Have?

QuickPeopleTrace compiles personal details from public records and data broker networks, typically including:

  • Full name and known aliases
  • Current and previous addresses
  • Phone numbers (landline and mobile)
  • Email addresses
  • Age and date of birth
  • Known relatives and associates
  • Property ownership records
  • Court and criminal records

Because QuickPeopleTrace is powered by PeopleFinders, the data you see on their site mirrors what's available through the larger PeopleFinders network.

How to Opt Out of QuickPeopleTrace

There are two approaches to removing your data from QuickPeopleTrace. The most effective method is to opt out through PeopleFinders directly, which automatically removes your data from QuickPeopleTrace as well.

Method 1: Opt Out Through PeopleFinders (Recommended)

Since QuickPeopleTrace pulls its data from PeopleFinders, opting out of PeopleFinders will automatically remove your information from QuickPeopleTrace.

  1. Go to peoplefinders.com/manage
  2. Enter your first name, last name, and state
  3. Click Search and find your listing in the results
  4. Click "This is me" next to the correct profile
  5. Review the information and click "Opt out this record"
  6. Provide your email address and complete the CAPTCHA
  7. Check your email for the verification link and click it to confirm

Your listing should be removed from both PeopleFinders and QuickPeopleTrace within a few days of confirmation.

Method 2: Contact QuickPeopleTrace Directly

If you prefer to contact QuickPeopleTrace directly, you can email their support team:

  1. Send an email to clients@quickpeopletrace.com
  2. Include your full name and the URL of your QuickPeopleTrace profile
  3. Request removal of your personal information
  4. Include a statement that you want all records associated with your name removed from their database

Processing via direct email typically takes 5 to 10 business days.

Keep Your Confirmation Email

Save any confirmation emails you receive from PeopleFinders or QuickPeopleTrace. Set a reminder to re-check both sites in 30 days to verify your information has actually been removed. Data brokers sometimes fail to fully process removal requests.

Skip the manual opt-outs

One opt-out won't stop them — brokers relist your data. PrivacyOn removes your info from 100+ sites and keeps it removed.

Why Your Data May Come Back

Even after a successful opt-out, your information can reappear on QuickPeopleTrace because:

  • Public records are continuously updated — new property transactions, court filings, and voter registrations can trigger your profile to be recreated
  • Data broker networks share information — even if you're removed from PeopleFinders, other data brokers may feed your data back into the system
  • No permanent opt-out guarantee — most data brokers reserve the right to re-list your information from updated public records

Other People Search Sites to Remove Yourself From

If your data is on QuickPeopleTrace, it's likely on dozens of other people search sites too. Some of the most common ones you should also opt out of include:

  • PeopleFinders — the primary data source for QuickPeopleTrace
  • FastPeopleSearch — one of the most visited free people search sites
  • TruePeopleSearch — another major free people search engine
  • BeenVerified — a paid people search and background check service
  • Spokeo — aggregates data from social media and public records

Let PrivacyOn Handle It All

Manually opting out of each data broker one by one is time-consuming and often temporary. PrivacyOn monitors 100+ data broker sites continuously, submits opt-out requests automatically, and re-removes your data when it inevitably reappears. With family plans covering up to 5 people and prices starting at $8.33/month, it's the most effective way to keep your personal information off these sites for good.

How to Check If Your Information Is Still on QuickPeopleTrace

After submitting your opt-out request, wait at least 10 business days before checking. Then:

  1. Visit QuickPeopleTrace.com
  2. Search for your full name and state
  3. If your profile no longer appears, the removal was successful
  4. If it's still there, repeat the opt-out process or contact their support email again

For ongoing protection against data brokers, consider using a privacy service that handles this monitoring and removal automatically so you don't have to keep checking manually.
