VerifyThem.org is a people search site that aggregates and publishes public records — including criminal records, contact details, asset information, and more. If your personal information appears on VerifyThem and you want it removed, the process runs through a related site called Infotracer.com, which manages data removals on VerifyThem's behalf.
What Information Does VerifyThem Expose?
VerifyThem pulls together a wide range of sensitive public records into searchable profiles. A typical listing may include:
- Criminal records
- Marriage and divorce records
- Contact information (phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses)
- Asset records (property ownership, vehicle registrations)
- Bankruptcy records
- Legal judgments and liens
- Birth records
- Personal details (age, relatives, known associates)
The breadth of data VerifyThem aggregates makes it one of the more invasive people search sites. Criminal record information in particular can cause real harm if it appears in search results — even for old, expunged, or dismissed cases.
VerifyThem Removals Go Through Infotracer
VerifyThem.org is associated with Infotracer.com, and Infotracer handles opt-out requests for both sites. You do not submit a removal request directly on VerifyThem — instead, opting out of Infotracer will also remove your data from VerifyThem.
Step-by-Step: How to Remove Your Data from VerifyThem
Because VerifyThem's removal process runs through Infotracer.com, follow these steps to submit your opt-out request.
Step 1: Go to Infotracer.com
Navigate to infotracer.com in your browser. Infotracer is the parent or affiliated site responsible for processing data removal requests on behalf of VerifyThem.
Step 2: Find the Opt-Out or Privacy Page
Look for a privacy, opt-out, or "Do Not Sell My Information" link — typically located in the footer of the Infotracer homepage. Click on it to access the data removal request form.
Step 3: Fill Out the Opt-Out Form
Provide the personal information requested to locate your record. This typically includes your:
- First and last name
- State of residence
- Additional identifying details as prompted (such as age or city)
Be as accurate as possible to ensure the correct record is identified and removed.
Step 4: Submit Your Request
Review the information you've entered and submit the opt-out form. You may receive a confirmation email — if so, open it and click the confirmation link to finalize the request.
California Residents: Additional Rights Available
If you are a California resident, you may be eligible to use the DROP (Data Removal and Opt-out Platform) to exercise your privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). The DROP platform can streamline opt-out requests with multiple data brokers at once. Visit the California Privacy Protection Agency website for more information.
How Long Does Removal Take?
Opt-out requests submitted through Infotracer are typically processed within 72 hours. After that window, check VerifyThem.org directly to confirm your profile has been removed. If your listing still appears after several days, consider submitting the request again.
Can Your Data Come Back?
Yes. People search sites regularly update their databases from public records sources. Even after a successful removal, new data ingestion cycles can cause your profile to reappear. This is especially common for individuals who have recently moved, changed phone numbers, or had new court records created.
Staying Ahead of Reappearances
The only reliable way to keep your data off sites like VerifyThem long-term is to monitor them continuously and re-submit opt-out requests as needed. This is time-consuming when done manually — especially when you factor in that there are dozens of similar people search sites that may also have your information.
VerifyThem Is One of Many Sites to Worry About
VerifyThem and Infotracer are just two entries in a much larger ecosystem of data brokers and people search sites. Sites like Spokeo, BeenVerified, Radaris, Whitepages, Instant Checkmate, and many others may also be publishing your personal records — each with its own opt-out process and timeline.
Manually removing your data from all of them is a significant undertaking, and most people give up after a few sites. The result is that your information remains publicly accessible on the majority of these platforms.
Tips for Protecting Your Privacy After Removal
- Verify removal on both sites: After the 72-hour processing window, search for your name on both VerifyThem.org and Infotracer.com to confirm your listings have been removed from both platforms.
- Check for multiple records: If you have lived in multiple states or your name has common variations, search for each combination. You may have separate records that each need their own opt-out submission.
- Use a dedicated email: When completing the opt-out form, use an email address reserved for data removal requests. This prevents further exposure of your primary email to data brokers.
- Document your requests: Take screenshots of your submissions and any confirmation emails you receive. This creates a paper trail that can be useful if you need to follow up or escalate a stalled request.
- Set reminders to recheck: Data brokers regularly refresh their databases from public records. Set a calendar reminder every two to three months to verify your data has not reappeared on VerifyThem or Infotracer.
- Address upstream public records: Some information on VerifyThem comes directly from government databases. Where possible, limit public exposure by using a P.O. box for official filings and opting out of voter registration public access in states that allow it.
PrivacyOn solves this by automating opt-out requests across 100+ data broker sites, including VerifyThem and Infotracer. Rather than tracking down each site individually and repeating the process every few months, PrivacyOn monitors your data continuously and handles removals on your behalf — so your personal information stays private without requiring ongoing manual effort on your part.
