To opt out of ZabaSearch in 2026, go to the PeopleConnect Suppression Center at suppression.peopleconnect.us/login, verify your email within 15 minutes, enter your date of birth and legal name, select your record, and set visibility to "Suppressed." The process is free, takes about 10 minutes, and removes your data within 5–7 business days.
What Information Does ZabaSearch Display?
ZabaSearch is a free people search engine owned by PeopleConnect (parent of Intelius, TruthFinder, and Instant Checkmate). Its public profiles typically expose:
- Full name and known aliases
- Current and past addresses — including full street addresses
- Phone numbers — landline, cell, and sometimes unlisted numbers
- Birth month and year
- Relatives, roommates, and past co-residents
- Satellite and aerial photos of your home address
Data is scraped from voter registration rolls, court records, property transaction records, business directories, and sweepstakes entries. Through Intelius, deeper background reports (criminal history, bankruptcies, liens) are also sold for a fee.
Step 1: Confirm Your Listing
Visit zabasearch.com and search your first and last name. Note the city, age, and relative names shown — you'll need these to identify the correct record during opt-out. If you appear under multiple name variations (maiden name, middle initial variants), record each one; you may need separate suppression requests.
Step 2: Open the PeopleConnect Suppression Center
ZabaSearch has no opt-out form of its own. All removals route through the shared PeopleConnect Suppression Center at suppression.peopleconnect.us/login. You can also reach it by scrolling to the ZabaSearch footer and clicking "Do Not Sell Or Share My Personal Information."
Step 3: Verify Your Email
Enter an email address, accept the terms, and click Continue. PeopleConnect will send a verification email with the subject "Confirm your email address." Click Verify Email. The link expires in 15 minutes — have your inbox open before you start.
Step 4: Enter Date of Birth and Legal Name
Submit your date of birth, then your first, middle, and last legal name. Confirm the verification statement and continue.
Step 5: Select Your Record
The Suppression Center will display matching records. Pick the one that matches the city, age range, and relatives shown on ZabaSearch. Repeat this step for each variant if multiple records exist.
Step 6: Verify Identity via Phone or Email
Choose a phone number or email tied to the record and click Request Verification Code. Enter the 6-digit code you receive.
Step 7: Set Visibility to Suppressed
Under "Desired Behavior," select Suppressed and click Save. Your ZabaSearch listing should disappear within 5–7 business days — many users see removal in 24–72 hours.
Bonus: 8 Sites Removed From One Opt-Out
A single PeopleConnect suppression also clears your data from Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, US Search, Classmates.com, AnyWho, Addresses.com, PublicRecords.com, and PeopleFinder — one of the most efficient opt-outs in the broker ecosystem.

Prefer Full Deletion? Here's How
Suppression hides your record from public search, but PeopleConnect still stores it internally. For complete deletion, choose Delete My User Data on the control page after suppressing, then confirm via the follow-up email. Deletion is irreversible — you can't reactivate a listing you've deleted.
Your Data Will Try to Come Back
PeopleConnect continuously purchases fresh data feeds — voter files, property transfers, court records. When new data arrives that doesn't cleanly match your suppression profile, a new listing can appear. Check every 3–6 months and re-suppress if needed.
Tips to Save Time and Avoid Gotchas
- Use a throwaway email. PeopleConnect may add your email to marketing lists. A disposable inbox keeps your primary email clean.
- Start with the email open. The 15-minute verification window is unforgiving.
- Check name variants. Maiden names, hyphenated last names, and middle-initial spellings each need their own suppression.
- Escalate if stuck. If your listing survives past 7 business days, email privacy@peopleconnect.us or call (888) 245-1655 (Mon–Fri, 7 AM – 4 PM PT).
Automate Removals Across 100+ Data Brokers
ZabaSearch is one site. The average American appears on 60–100 people-search sites, each with its own opt-out process, verification quirks, and re-listing timeline. Manually opting out — and re-opting-out every few months — becomes a part-time job.
PrivacyOn automates the entire cycle: we submit opt-out requests across 100+ data brokers, monitor for re-listings, and re-submit whenever your data reappears. Plans start at $8.33/month, include dark web monitoring, and cover up to 5 family members. Run a free scan to see where your data is exposed right now.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is opting out of ZabaSearch free?
Yes. The PeopleConnect Suppression Center is 100% free. Never pay a third party claiming they can remove your ZabaSearch listing — the official process costs nothing.
How long does ZabaSearch removal take?
Most listings are suppressed within 5–7 business days. Some users see their record disappear in as little as 24–72 hours. If nothing has changed after 7 business days, contact privacy@peopleconnect.us.
Does opting out of ZabaSearch also remove me from Intelius and TruthFinder?
Yes. Because all three sites are owned by PeopleConnect, one suppression request clears your listing from ZabaSearch, Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, US Search, Classmates, AnyWho, Addresses.com, PublicRecords.com, and PeopleFinder.
Will my ZabaSearch listing come back after I opt out?
It can. PeopleConnect regularly purchases new public-records data. If a fresh feed contains your info under a slightly different name, address, or phone number, a new listing may be created. Re-check every 3–6 months, or use a service like PrivacyOn that monitors and re-submits automatically.
Do I need to opt out under every name variation?
Yes. Maiden names, middle-initial variants, and old addresses often produce separate records in PeopleConnect's system. Each variant needs its own suppression request to fully remove you.
What's the difference between suppression and deletion on PeopleConnect?
Suppression hides your record from public search but keeps it in PeopleConnect's internal database. Deletion permanently removes your data. Suppression is the safer default because a new listing tied to your identity can still be caught by your suppression profile; deletion is irreversible.
