How to Opt Out of USPhoneBook

USPhoneBook is a people search site that aggregates phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and other personal details from public records and data brokers. If you've searched for yourself online, there's a good chance your information appears on USPhoneBook — and anyone else can find it just as easily.

What Information Does USPhoneBook Display?

USPhoneBook collects and publishes a surprising amount of personal data, including:

• Full name, age, and date of birth
• Current and past home addresses
• Phone numbers — both landline and cell, including carrier details
• Email addresses
• Names of relatives, associates, and neighbors
• Marriage and divorce records
• Criminal history and court documents
• Property ownership details

This data is sourced from public records (voter registrations, court documents, property records), phone directories, other data brokers, and even public social media profiles.

How to Remove Your Information From USPhoneBook

The opt-out process is free and takes about 5–10 minutes. Here's how to do it:

1. Visit the opt-out page:

   Go to usphonebook.com/opt-out. You can also find this link in the footer of USPhoneBook's homepage under "Do Not Sell My Personal Information."

2. Agree to the terms and enter your email:

   Check both required boxes (Terms of Use and Privacy Policy), enter your email address, complete the reCAPTCHA, and click "Begin Removal Request."

3. Search for your listing:

   Use the search tool to find your profile by name, phone number, or address. Scroll through the results until you locate yours.

4. Open and verify your profile:

   Click "View Full Address & Phone" to open your full listing and confirm it belongs to you.

5. Request removal:

   Click the red "Remove Record" button on your profile page.

6. Confirm via email:

   Check the inbox of the email address you provided (including spam and junk folders) for a message from USPhoneBook. Click the blue "Click here to remove [your name]" button in the email.

7. Done:

   You'll be redirected to a confirmation page. Your listing should be removed within 72 hours, though some users report removal in as little as 12 hours.

Important Tips for a Successful Opt-Out

• Use a disposable email address. Don't give USPhoneBook your primary email. Use a temporary email service — just make sure it stays active long enough for you to click the confirmation link.
• Only provide information they already have. Don't volunteer any personal details beyond what's already displayed on your listing.
• Search for yourself first. Before starting the process, search for your name on USPhoneBook so you know exactly which listing to look for during the opt-out.
• Clear your browser cache afterward. Locally cached versions of your profile can persist even after removal.

What If the Online Process Doesn't Work?

If the "Remove Record" button doesn't appear or gives you an error, try these steps:

• Clear your browser cache (Ctrl+F5) or use incognito/private browsing mode
• Try again at a different time of day
• Call USPhoneBook directly at (888) 747-4095 to request removal by phone
• Email customercare@usphonebook.com with your removal request
• Write to: PO Box 660675, Dallas, TX 75266-0675

Don't Forget About Other Data Brokers

USPhoneBook is just one of over 100 data broker sites that may be publishing your personal information. Removing yourself from one site doesn't affect the others — and since these brokers often share data with each other, your information can easily migrate back.

For comprehensive protection, you'll need to opt out of dozens of sites individually and monitor them on an ongoing basis. PrivacyOn automates this entire process, submitting removal requests to 100+ data broker sites on your behalf and continuously monitoring for re-listings so your personal information stays private.
