How to Opt Out of SpyDialer

SpyDialer is a free reverse phone lookup and people search site that allows anyone to search for your phone number, name, address, and email. If your information appears on SpyDialer, here's how to remove it quickly and for free.

What Information Does SpyDialer Have?

SpyDialer collects and displays several types of personal information:

  • Phone numbers (cell and landline)
  • Full name
  • Home address
  • Email addresses
  • Voicemail recordings (in some cases)

The site is particularly concerning because it offers free lookups, meaning anyone can access your information without paying or creating an account.

Before You Begin: Search for Yourself First

Before starting the opt-out process, open a separate tab and search for yourself on SpyDialer. Note exactly what information appears in your results. This is important because during the opt-out process, you should only submit information that SpyDialer already has — don't volunteer additional personal details they haven't collected.

Step-by-Step Opt-Out Instructions

  1. Go to the consumer portal:

    Visit spydialer.com/consumers/. You can also reach this page by scrolling to the bottom of spydialer.com and clicking "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information."

  2. Click "Start":

    Begin the removal wizard by clicking the Start button.

  3. Select your state:

    Choose your state from the dropdown menu.

  4. Complete the CAPTCHA:

    Solve the CAPTCHA challenge and click "Continue."

  5. Acknowledge the privacy notice:

    Click "Got it, continue" to proceed past the privacy law notice.

  6. Enter your information:

    Fill in your name, address, phone number, and email as they appear on SpyDialer. If you have multiple phone numbers or addresses listed on the site, you can add all of them.

  7. Confirm and submit:

    Click "Confirm Request," review the information you provided, then click "Opt-Out My Info" to finalize your removal.

Processing Time

SpyDialer removals are typically processed within 24 to 48 hours. After waiting, search for yourself again on SpyDialer to confirm your data has been removed.

Don't Add Extra Information

Only enter information that SpyDialer already has on file. Adding phone numbers, addresses, or email addresses that weren't already in their system could actually expand your profile rather than remove it.

Important Things to Know

The Opt-Out Is Free

SpyDialer's opt-out process is completely free. Never pay anyone who claims they can remove you from SpyDialer for a fee.

Your Data May Reappear

SpyDialer refreshes its database from data aggregators, partner feeds, and resellers. Even after a successful opt-out, your profile may be repopulated during a future data refresh. Set a reminder to check every 3 to 6 months and repeat the process if needed.

Clear Google's Cache Too

After opting out from SpyDialer, cached results may still appear in Google searches. Use Google's "Remove Outdated Content" tool to request that Google refresh its cache of any page where your information previously appeared.

The Do Not Call Registry Won't Help

Registering with the National Do Not Call Registry has no effect on SpyDialer's search results. The only way to remove your data from SpyDialer is through their opt-out process.

Automate Your Privacy Protection

SpyDialer is just one of over 100 data broker and people search sites that may expose your personal information. Opting out of each one individually — and checking back regularly — is a never-ending task.
