How to Opt Out of ThatsThem

ThatsThem is a free people search engine that exposes an unusually broad range of personal information, from standard contact details to financial data, lifestyle preferences, and even vehicle ownership records. Because ThatsThem allows reverse lookups by name, phone number, email, address, and IP address, it is one of the most versatile and potentially dangerous data brokers operating today. Here is how to remove your data from ThatsThem.

What Information Does ThatsThem Collect?

ThatsThem aggregates data from public records, commercial databases, and online sources to build remarkably detailed personal profiles. The breadth of information they expose goes well beyond what most people expect. A typical ThatsThem profile may include:

• Full name and date of birth
• Phone numbers and email addresses
• Current and past home addresses
• IP address and internet service provider
• Occupation and employer
• Estimated net worth and income
• Wealth score, donor score, and travel score
• Religious beliefs and ethnicity
• Property data including home value, mortgage amount, household size, and loan-to-value ratio
• Vehicle information including year, make, and model
• Lifestyle data such as sports played, video game habits, and pet ownership
• Family member information
• Geographical coordinates

The level of detail is staggering. ThatsThem offers multiple search methods including name, phone, email, address, and IP address lookups, meaning someone can find your full profile using just a single piece of information about you. This makes it an especially high-priority site to opt out of.

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

ThatsThem provides a straightforward opt-out process, but you need to enter your information exactly as it appears in their records. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Find Your Listing

Go to https://thatsthem.com and search for yourself using your full name and location. If you have a common name, try including your middle name or initial to narrow the results. Click on the listing that matches your information.

Step 2: Note Your Profile Details

Carefully review the information displayed on your profile page. Take note of your full name, email address, phone number, and physical address exactly as they appear in the listing. You will need to enter these details precisely in the opt-out form for your request to be processed.

Step 3: Go to the Opt-Out Page

Navigate to https://thatsthem.com/optout. This is ThatsThem's official opt-out page.

Step 4: Fill Out the Opt-Out Form

Enter your information into the opt-out form exactly as it appears on your ThatsThem profile. This typically includes:

1. Your full name
2. Your email address
3. Your phone number
4. Your physical address

Accuracy is critical here. If the information you enter does not match what is in their database, the opt-out may not be processed correctly.

Step 5: Complete the CAPTCHA and Submit

Complete the security CAPTCHA to verify you are a real person and click "Submit" to send your opt-out request.

Step 6: Handle Multiple Records

If you found multiple listings with different information (for example, different addresses or phone numbers), you must submit a separate opt-out request for each record. Go back to ThatsThem and search for any additional profiles, then repeat the process for each one.

Processing Time

ThatsThem typically removes opted-out data within 5 to 7 business days of receiving your request. After this period, return to the site and search for yourself using your name, phone number, and email address to verify that all of your information has been removed. If any data remains, submit another opt-out request for those specific records.

Important Notes and Gotchas

• Information must match exactly. The details you enter in the opt-out form must exactly match what appears on your ThatsThem profile. Even small discrepancies can cause the request to fail. Copy the information directly from your profile page.
• Data can reappear. ThatsThem regularly updates its database. When new data is collected that cannot be reliably matched to your previous opt-out, a new profile may be created. Monitor the site periodically and re-submit requests as needed.
• No email verification required. Unlike many other data brokers, ThatsThem does not require email verification for opt-out requests. The submission itself initiates the removal process.
• Multiple search types. When verifying your removal, search for yourself using all available methods: name, phone number, email, and address. Your data may have been removed from one search type but still appear in another.
• Free service increases exposure. Since ThatsThem is free to use, there is no paywall protecting your information. Anyone can access your full profile without creating an account or paying a fee.

How PrivacyOn Automates This

ThatsThem's extensive data collection and free access model make it one of the most important data brokers to opt out of. However, the combination of exact-match requirements, multiple records, and the possibility of data reappearing means that a single opt-out is rarely enough to keep your information private long-term.

PrivacyOn continuously monitors and removes your data from ThatsThem and over 190 other data broker sites. Our automated system handles the precise matching requirements, submits removal requests on your behalf, and checks back regularly to ensure your data stays removed. When ThatsThem adds your information back to their database, PrivacyOn catches it and initiates a new removal immediately.

With ThatsThem exposing everything from your net worth to your religious beliefs, the stakes are too high to rely on a one-time manual opt-out. Let PrivacyOn provide the continuous, comprehensive protection your personal data deserves, across ThatsThem and every other data broker on the internet.
