Virtory is a people search website that makes your personal information — including your name, address, phone number, and family connections — publicly accessible to anyone who searches for you. If you have discovered your data on Virtory and want it removed, this guide walks you through the entire opt-out process step by step.
What Information Does Virtory Display?
Virtory compiles data from public records and other sources to build detailed profiles on individuals. A typical Virtory listing may contain:
- Full name and known aliases
- Current and previous home addresses
- Phone numbers — landline and cell
- Email addresses
- Age and date of birth
- Relatives and associates
- Possible neighbors
This information is gathered from publicly available records such as voter registrations, property records, court filings, and commercial data sources. Even if you are careful about your online presence, Virtory likely has a profile on you.
Step-by-Step: How to Opt Out of Virtory
Virtory provides a free opt-out process that you can complete online. Here is how to do it:
- Search for your profile. Visit Virtory.com and use the search bar to look up your name along with your city and state. Find the listing that matches your personal information.
- View your profile. Click the "View Profile" button next to your listing to open the full profile page.
- Find the opt-out section. Scroll down on your profile page until you see the "Control Profile" section.
- Fill out the opt-out form. Enter your full name and email address in the provided fields.
- Complete the CAPTCHA. Solve the CAPTCHA verification to confirm you are not a robot.
- Submit the request. Click "SUBMIT OPT-OUT REQUEST" to send your removal request.
- Confirm via email. Check your inbox for a confirmation email from Virtory. Click the verification link in the email to finalize the removal.
Removal Is Typically Fast
Virtory usually processes opt-out requests within 24 hours after you click the email confirmation link. Check back the next day to verify that your profile has been removed from the site.
Alternative: Opt Out by Email
If you encounter an error while using the online opt-out form, you can email Virtory directly at remove@virtory.com. In your email, include:
- Your full name as it appears on the profile
- The URL of the Virtory profile you want removed
- A clear request to remove your personal information from their site
This can serve as a useful backup if the web form is not functioning properly.
Watch for Multiple Listings
Virtory may have multiple profiles associated with your name, especially if you have different addresses or variations of your name in public records. Search for all variations — including maiden names and nicknames — and submit separate opt-out requests for each profile you find.
Processing Time
Once you confirm your opt-out request by clicking the email verification link, Virtory typically removes your profile within 24 hours. After that time has passed, search for yourself on the site again to confirm your information is no longer listed. If any profiles remain, submit additional opt-out requests for those specific listings.
Will My Data Come Back?
Yes, it is possible. Like most data broker sites, Virtory regularly refreshes its database from public record sources. If new records become available — for example, from a property purchase, new voter registration, or court filing — a new profile may be created for you even after a successful opt-out.
We recommend checking Virtory every few months to ensure your information has not been re-listed. If it has, you will need to go through the opt-out process again.
