Trustifo is a people search website that collects and displays personal information from public records. If you have searched for yourself online and found a Trustifo profile listing your name, address, phone number, or relatives, you are not alone. The good news is that Trustifo offers an opt-out process. This guide explains exactly how to remove your information from Trustifo and keep it off the site.
What Information Does Trustifo Collect?
Trustifo aggregates publicly available data and organizes it into individual profiles. A typical Trustifo listing may include:
- Full name and any known aliases
- Current and past addresses
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses
- Age and date of birth
- Names of relatives and associates
- Possible neighbors
This data is compiled from public records databases, including property records, voter registrations, court records, and other commercially available data sources. The result is a detailed profile that anyone can access with a simple name search.
Step-by-Step: How to Opt Out of Trustifo
Trustifo provides a free opt-out process. Follow these steps carefully:
- Find your profile. Go to Trustifo.com and search for your name along with your city or state. Browse the results until you find a profile that matches your personal information. Click "View Profile" on the matching result.
- Copy the profile URL. Once you are on your profile page, copy the full URL from your browser's address bar. You will need this for the opt-out form.
- Navigate to the opt-out page. Go to the Trustifo opt-out page. Paste the URL of your profile into the designated field.
- Fill out the opt-out form. Enter your full name and a valid email address. Complete the CAPTCHA to verify that you are a real person.
- Submit the request. Click "Submit Opt Out Request" to send your removal request.
- Confirm via email. Check your email inbox for a confirmation message from Trustifo. Click the verification link in the email to finalize your opt-out request.
- Wait for processing. Within 48 hours, you should receive another email confirming whether your request has been approved and your profile has been removed.
Check Your Spam Folder
The confirmation email from Trustifo may end up in your spam or junk folder. Be sure to check there if you do not see the email in your inbox within a few minutes of submitting your request. Without clicking the confirmation link, your opt-out will not be processed.
Alternative: Opt Out by Email
If the online opt-out form gives you trouble, you can also submit your removal request by emailing satisfaction@trustifo.com directly. Include the following in your email:
- Your full name
- The URL of the Trustifo profile you want removed
- A clear request to opt out and remove your personal information
This email method can be especially useful if the website's opt-out form is experiencing technical issues.
Multiple Profiles Require Separate Requests
Trustifo may have multiple profiles associated with your name, especially if you have lived at different addresses. Each profile has a unique URL, and you must submit a separate opt-out request for each one. Search for variations of your name and all previous cities to find every listing.
Processing Time
Trustifo typically processes opt-out requests within 48 hours of email confirmation. After that period, search for yourself on Trustifo again to verify that your profile has been removed. If any listings remain, you may need to submit additional requests for those specific profiles.
Will My Data Stay Removed?
Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that your data will remain off Trustifo permanently. Like most data brokers, Trustifo regularly updates its database from public record sources. If new records associated with your name become available — such as from a recent move, property purchase, or court filing — a new profile may be created.
We recommend checking Trustifo every three to six months to see if your information has reappeared. If it has, you will need to repeat the opt-out process.
Let PrivacyOn Handle It Automatically
