How to Opt Out of VeriPages

VeriPages is a people-search site that aggregates public records and commercial data sources to build detailed profiles on millions of Americans. If you search your name on VeriPages, you'll likely find your home address, phone number, age, relatives, and more — all freely accessible to anyone with an internet connection. The good news is that VeriPages offers a free opt-out process. Here's exactly how to remove your information.

What Data Does VeriPages Collect?

A typical VeriPages profile can include:

• Full name and any known aliases or maiden names
• Current and previous home addresses
• Phone numbers — both landline and mobile
• Email addresses
• Age and date of birth
• Known relatives and associates
• Possible neighbors based on address records

VeriPages pulls this information from public records databases, voter registrations, property records, commercial data aggregators, and other publicly available sources. Even if you've never heard of VeriPages, there's a good chance they have a profile on you.

Why You Should Remove Yourself From VeriPages

Having your personal details on a people-search site creates real risks. Scammers use these profiles to craft convincing phishing messages. Stalkers and harassers use them to find home addresses. Robocallers harvest phone numbers from them. And because VeriPages profiles often rank in search engine results, anyone who Googles your name can find your personal details in seconds.

Removing your VeriPages listing is a straightforward step toward reducing your online exposure.

How to Opt Out of VeriPages (Step by Step)

1. Find your profile on VeriPages.

   Go to veripages.com and search for your name using the search bar on the homepage. Enter your first name, last name, and your city or state to narrow the results. Click through the listings until you find the one that matches your information — verify by checking the listed addresses, phone numbers, or relatives.

2. Copy your profile URL.

   Once you've opened your profile page, copy the full URL from your browser's address bar. You'll need this for the opt-out form.

3. Navigate to the opt-out page.

   Scroll to the bottom of any VeriPages page and click the "Do Not Sell My Info" link in the footer. Alternatively, you can click the "Control Profile" button that appears on individual profile pages. Either option will take you to the VeriPages opt-out request form.

4. Complete the opt-out form.

   Paste your profile URL into the designated field (it may auto-fill if you came from the profile page). Enter your full name and a valid email address. Complete the CAPTCHA verification, then click "Submit Opt Out Request."

5. Confirm via email.

   Check your inbox for a verification email from VeriPages. Click the confirmation link in the email to finalize your removal request. Your opt-out will not be processed until you complete this step.

6. Verify removal after processing.

   Return to veripages.com after 2 to 7 days and search for your name again. Your profile should no longer appear in the results. If it does, allow a few more days — some requests take up to a full week to fully propagate.

Multiple Profiles? Opt Out of Each One

It's common to have more than one listing on VeriPages — especially if you've moved, changed your name, or have a common name. Each profile has its own unique URL and must be opted out separately. After completing your first removal, search VeriPages again using:

• Your name with different cities or states where you've lived
• Maiden names or previous names
• Name variations (middle name, initials, nicknames)

Submit a separate opt-out request for every listing you find.

Tips for a Successful Opt-Out

• Use a disposable email address. Don't give VeriPages an email they don't already have. Use a throwaway address for the verification step to avoid adding new data to your profile.
• Check your spam folder. The confirmation email sometimes lands in spam or junk folders. Without clicking the verification link, your request won't be processed.
• Screenshot everything. Save screenshots of your opt-out submission and email confirmation. If your removal doesn't go through, you'll have documentation for follow-up.
• Don't provide extra information. Only enter the minimum required by the form. Adding phone numbers, addresses, or other details that VeriPages doesn't already have gives them more data, not less.

What About Your State Privacy Rights?

If you live in a state with a comprehensive privacy law — California (CCPA/CPRA), Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon, or others — you have a legal right to request deletion of your personal information, not just suppression. VeriPages is required to comply with these requests. The standard opt-out form described above is the fastest way to get your listing removed, but you can also submit a formal deletion request citing your state's privacy statute for stronger legal standing.

VeriPages Is Just One of Many

VeriPages is one of more than a hundred people-search and data broker sites that publish personal information online. Even after you successfully opt out of VeriPages, your data remains exposed on sites like Spokeo, BeenVerified, Whitepages, FastPeopleSearch, and dozens of others. Many of these sites share data sources, so information you remove from one can persist — or reappear — on another.

Opting out of every broker manually, then monitoring each one for re-listings, is a time-consuming process that never truly ends. PrivacyOn automates this entire workflow across 100+ data broker sites. We find your profiles, submit removal requests, and continuously monitor for your information to reappear — so you don't have to repeat this process site by site, month after month.
