How to Opt Out of RemovePersonalInfo

RemovePersonalInfo.com is a people-search site that aggregates publicly available data and displays it in easy-to-browse profiles. If your name, home address, phone number, or email address appears on the site, here's how to get it removed — and what to do if the direct approach doesn't work.

What Is RemovePersonalInfo.com?

RemovePersonalInfo.com is one of many smaller data aggregator sites that pulls information from public records and displays it in searchable profiles. Unlike the major people-search platforms — Spokeo, BeenVerified, Whitepages — smaller sites like this one tend to have less prominent opt-out mechanisms and fewer resources dedicated to processing removal requests.

The types of information typically displayed include:

• Full name and known aliases
• Current and past home addresses
• Phone numbers (mobile and landline)
• Email addresses
• Age and approximate date of birth
• Associated relatives and household members
• Possible social media profiles

This kind of aggregated profile is exactly what makes people-search sites a privacy concern — even if each individual piece of information is technically public, having it collected and presented in one place makes it far easier for anyone to find you.

How to Opt Out of RemovePersonalInfo

Step 1: Check for a Direct Opt-Out Link

Start by visiting the site and scrolling to the very bottom of the page. Look for links in the footer labeled:

• "Do Not Sell My Personal Information"
• "Privacy Policy"
• "Opt Out" or "Remove My Info"

Some smaller data broker sites have opt-out forms that aren't prominently advertised but do exist buried in footer links or privacy policy pages. If you find one, follow the on-screen instructions — typically you'll need to search for your own profile, select the correct listing, and submit a removal request.

Step 2: Submit a Privacy Request by Email

If no self-service opt-out form exists, the next step is to contact the site directly by email. Look for a support or privacy contact address, typically found in the Privacy Policy or Contact page. When writing your request:

1. State your full name and any variations or aliases that appear in your listing
2. Provide the URL of the specific profile page you want removed, if you can find it
3. Cite applicable privacy law — reference the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) if you're a California resident, or your state's equivalent privacy statute
4. Request confirmation of the removal and a timeline for completion
5. Keep a copy of the email and note the date sent

Step 3: Follow Up and Escalate If Necessary

Smaller data broker sites don't always respond quickly — or at all. If you don't receive a response within two weeks:

• Send a follow-up email referencing your original request date
• If the site has a physical mailing address in the privacy policy, send a written request by certified mail
• File a complaint with your state's Attorney General office if the site ignores a valid CCPA or state privacy law request

The Upstream Problem: Where This Data Comes From

Smaller people-search sites rarely collect data themselves. Instead, they license or scrape it from larger data brokers and public records aggregators. This means that removing yourself from RemovePersonalInfo.com alone is only a partial solution.

To reduce how often your information appears on sites like this, you need to address the primary sources:

• Large data brokers: Acxiom, LexisNexis, Equifax Marketing Services, and others supply data to hundreds of downstream sites
• People-search majors: Spokeo, BeenVerified, Intelius, Whitepages, and similar platforms are frequently scraped by smaller sites
• Public records: County property records, voter registration files, and court records are publicly accessible and feed into most data broker databases

Removing yourself from the major aggregators significantly reduces the data available to smaller downstream sites — though it won't eliminate the problem entirely, since public records are generally outside your control.

Practical Tips for This Type of Opt-Out

• Document every request. Keep a log of which sites you've contacted, when, and what response you received. This is essential for follow-ups and any legal complaints.
• Use a dedicated email address. Create a separate email account for privacy opt-out requests so you don't expose your primary address to more data collection.
• Search your name periodically. Sites change their data sources and re-index information regularly. Check every few months to see if your data has reappeared.
• Request deletion, not just opt-out. Some sites differentiate between opting out of data sales and actually deleting your record. Under CCPA and similar laws, you have the right to request full deletion.
• Be consistent with your name. Use the exact name variation that appears in the listing when submitting removal requests — sites may not match requests if you use a different format.

Why Manual Opt-Outs Have Limits

The challenge with sites like RemovePersonalInfo.com is that the data broker ecosystem is enormous. There are hundreds of people-search sites, and new ones appear regularly. Even diligent manual opt-outs leave gaps — sites you haven't found yet, listings that reappear after removal, and new aggregators that scrape your data from sources you've already cleared.

This is exactly the kind of ongoing, repetitive work that PrivacyOn was built to handle. PrivacyOn continuously monitors 100+ data broker and people-search sites, automatically submits removal requests when your information appears, and re-submits when data comes back. Instead of spending hours tracking opt-out forms and emailing privacy contacts, you get continuous protection with a single subscription.
