How to Opt Out of SearchQuarry

SearchQuarry is a public records search engine that provides access to DMV records, court records, background checks, and other personal data. If your information appears on SearchQuarry, here's how to remove it for free using their opt-out process.

What Is SearchQuarry?

SearchQuarry.com is a people search and public records site that aggregates data from multiple sources including DMV records, court filings, arrest records, property records, and other public databases. The site allows anyone to search for individuals by name, phone number, or address and access detailed reports.

A SearchQuarry profile may expose:

  • Full name and known aliases
  • Current and past addresses
  • Phone numbers
  • Email addresses
  • Driving records and vehicle information
  • Court and criminal records
  • Property ownership records
  • Bankruptcy filings
  • Known relatives and associates

This level of detail can be particularly damaging, as it goes beyond typical people search data to include legal and financial records.

How to Opt Out of SearchQuarry: Step-by-Step

SearchQuarry offers a free online opt-out process. Follow these steps carefully:

Step 1: Visit the Opt-Out Page

Go to SearchQuarry.com and scroll to the very bottom of the homepage. Click on the link labeled "Exercise My Privacy Rights." This will take you to their privacy rights request form.

Step 2: Search for Your Record

Enter your first name, last name, state, and city in the form fields, then click Submit. A list of matching records will appear.

Step 3: Select Your Record for Removal

Browse through the results and find the record that matches your personal information. Click the checkbox under "Select Record" next to your listing, then click the red "Remove Data" button.

Step 4: Verify Your Request

Enter your email address and any additional comments in the spaces provided. Complete the CAPTCHA security verification, then click Submit.

Use a Disposable Email

As with any data broker opt-out, use a disposable or alias email address rather than your primary one. Data brokers have been known to add contact information from opt-out requests to their databases.

Step 5: Confirm via Email

Check your email inbox for a verification message from SearchQuarry. Click the confirmation link in the email to finalize your opt-out request. Your removal will not be processed without this step.

Step 6: Wait for Processing

Most SearchQuarry removal requests are processed within 48 to 72 hours, though some may take up to a week depending on system refresh cycles. After a few days, search for yourself again on the site to confirm your data has been removed.

Multiple Listings?

If you find multiple records matching your information on SearchQuarry (for example, under different addresses or name variations), you'll need to submit a separate opt-out request for each listing. One removal request only covers the specific record you selected.

Your Privacy Rights on SearchQuarry

Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional privacy rights when it comes to SearchQuarry. Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws — including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, New Jersey, and others — have the legal right to:

  • Right to Know: Request information about what personal data SearchQuarry processes about you
  • Right to Delete: Request deletion of your personal data
  • Right to Opt Out of Sale: Prevent SearchQuarry from selling your personal information to third parties
  • Right to Opt Out of Targeted Advertising: Stop your data from being used for targeted ads
  • Non-Discrimination: SearchQuarry cannot deny service or change pricing based on your privacy requests

Will Your Data Come Back?

Unfortunately, yes — it often does. SearchQuarry regularly refreshes its database with new public records and data from third-party sources. Even after a successful opt-out, your information may reappear weeks or months later. If it does, you'll need to go through the opt-out process again.

This is a common frustration with all data broker sites. They're designed to continuously collect and republish your data, making one-time removal requests a temporary fix at best.

SearchQuarry is just one of hundreds of sites exposing your personal information. Other major data brokers include Spokeo, BeenVerified, TruePeopleSearch, Whitepages, Intelius, and many more. Each has its own opt-out process, and each can re-list your data at any time.
