How to Opt Out of TruthRecord

TruthRecord.org is a people-search and background check website that compiles personal data from public records and makes it searchable online. If you've discovered your name, address, phone number, or other details on TruthRecord, this guide will show you exactly how to remove your listing and protect your privacy.

What Is TruthRecord?

TruthRecord is an online people-search directory that aggregates information from publicly available sources, including government records, court filings, property records, and commercial databases. It then organizes this data into searchable profiles that can include:

• Full name and date of birth
• Current and previous addresses
• Phone numbers and email addresses
• Criminal and arrest records
• Court records and civil judgments
• Relatives and known associates
• Property ownership information

Anyone can search TruthRecord for free, which means your personal details are potentially visible to employers, landlords, romantic interests, scammers, and anyone else who decides to look you up.

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

TruthRecord offers an online opt-out process that requires email verification. Here's how to complete it:

Step 1: Find Your Listing

Go to TruthRecord.org and search for your name. Use your full legal name along with your city and state to narrow down the results. Once you locate your profile, make note of the URL or the identifying details shown in the listing.

Step 2: Navigate to the Opt-Out Page

Look for TruthRecord's opt-out or data removal page. This is typically accessible through a link in the site's footer or privacy policy. The opt-out page will present a form where you can submit your removal request.

Step 3: Fill Out the Opt-Out Form

Enter the required information in the opt-out form. This usually includes:

• Your full name
• Your city and state
• An email address for verification
• The URL of your TruthRecord listing (if available)

Complete any CAPTCHA or verification challenge presented on the form, then submit your request.

Step 4: Check Your Email for Verification

After submitting the form, TruthRecord will send a verification email to the address you provided. Open the email and click the confirmation link or button to verify your identity and finalize your opt-out request.

Step 5: Wait for Removal

After verifying your email, TruthRecord typically processes removal requests within 24 to 48 hours, though it can sometimes take longer depending on their update cycles. Check back after a couple of days to confirm your listing has been removed.

Step 6: Verify the Removal

Search for your name on TruthRecord.org again to make sure your profile is no longer visible. If your listing still appears after several days, repeat the opt-out process or contact TruthRecord's support team directly.

Can Your Data Reappear on TruthRecord?

Yes. TruthRecord, like most people-search sites, regularly refreshes its database by pulling in new data from public records and partner data feeds. This means your information can be re-listed even after you've successfully opted out. Common reasons for reappearance include:

• Database refreshes — when TruthRecord updates its records from public sources
• Partner data feeds — when other data broker networks share updated information
• New public records — when you move, buy property, register to vote, or appear in new court filings

TruthRecord Is Just the Beginning

Your personal information likely appears on many more people-search sites beyond TruthRecord. Sites like Spokeo, BeenVerified, WhitePages, Radaris, and Intelius all pull from similar public record sources. Opting out of one site does nothing to remove your data from the others.

Manually opting out of every data broker is a massive, ongoing task. Each site has its own process, its own timeline, and its own quirks. And because your data can reappear at any time, this isn't something you can do once and forget about.
