How to Opt Out of UnMask

UnMask is a people-search and reverse lookup service that allows anyone to find personal information using a name, phone number, or address. Your profile on UnMask may reveal your home address, phone numbers, relatives, and more to complete strangers. Here's how to opt out and remove your data.

What Is UnMask?

UnMask (unmask.com) is an online people-search platform that provides background checks, reverse phone lookups, and people searches. It compiles data from public records and commercial sources to create detailed personal profiles.

A typical UnMask profile may include:

• Full name and known aliases or maiden names
• Current and previous addresses with dates of residence
• Phone numbers including mobile, landline, and VoIP
• Email addresses
• Age and date of birth
• Known relatives and associates
• Social media profiles
• Property ownership records

UnMask sources its data from public records including voter registrations, property filings, court records, phone directories, and commercial data aggregators.

Alternative Opt-Out Method: Email Request

If the website opt-out form doesn't work or isn't available, send a direct email:

• Email their support or privacy contact (check the website's privacy policy or contact page for the address)
• Include: Your full name, the URL(s) of your profile(s), and a clear statement requesting data removal
• Reference applicable privacy laws such as the CCPA or your state's data privacy act
• Request confirmation once removal is complete

Dealing With Cached Search Results

Even after UnMask removes your profile, it may still appear in Google search results for a period. To speed up removal from search engines:

• Use Google's URL removal tool to request de-indexing of the specific page
• Submit a request to Google's "Results About You" feature which allows you to request removal of search results containing personal contact information
• Check other search engines like Bing and Yahoo, which have their own content removal processes

Don't Stop at UnMask

UnMask is part of a larger ecosystem of people-search sites that share and repackage the same data. Removing your information from one site while leaving it on dozens of others provides limited protection.

PrivacyOn removes your data from 100+ data brokers and people-search sites simultaneously, including sites like UnMask and their affiliated platforms. With continuous monitoring and automatic re-removal, PrivacyOn keeps your personal information private across the entire data broker ecosystem — not just one site at a time.
