Trulia is a major real estate platform focused on neighborhood insights, home listings, and rental properties. Owned by Zillow Group since 2015, Trulia displays property details, sales history, home values, and listing photos for millions of addresses across the United States. If your property information is on Trulia and you want it removed, here is how to do it.
What Information Does Trulia Display?
Trulia's property pages can include extensive details about your home:
- Your property address and map location
- Home value estimates and price trends
- Property tax amounts and assessment history
- Square footage, lot size, bedrooms, and bathrooms
- Interior and exterior photos from current or past listings
- Complete sale history with dates and transaction prices
- Neighborhood crime data, school ratings, and commute information
- Nearby recent sales and market comparisons
Because Trulia is owned by Zillow Group, much of this data is shared between Trulia, Zillow, StreetEasy, and HotPads. The good news is that privacy changes made through Zillow Group typically apply across all of these platforms.
How to Remove Your Data Through the Zillow Group Privacy Portal
Since Trulia is part of Zillow Group, the most effective way to remove your data is through the centralized privacy portal:
- Visit the Privacy Portal: Go to privacy.zillowgroup.com. This is the central hub for managing your privacy across all Zillow Group properties
- Sign in or create an account: If you have a Zillow or Trulia account, sign in. If not, you may need to create one to access the self-service privacy tools
- Navigate to Account Settings: Go to your Account Settings page
- Access the Privacy Portal: Under the Manage Account section, select Go to Privacy Portal
- Request data deletion: Scroll to the Delete Your Data section and click Get Started
- Confirm deletion: Click the Delete Data button and confirm by selecting Delete Data and Account(s) in the pop-up
This process permanently deletes your Zillow Group account and personal data across Trulia, Zillow, StreetEasy, and HotPads simultaneously.
Public Records Remain
Zillow Group will remove your personal account data, but property information sourced from public records — including tax assessments, sale history, and some listing details — may remain visible. This data comes from county assessor offices and MLS databases that Trulia aggregates but does not control.
How to Remove Photos From Trulia
Interior listing photos are a major privacy concern because they reveal your home's layout, security setup, and personal belongings. To remove them from Trulia:
Contact Trulia Support
- Visit the Trulia Help Center at trulia.com/help
- Look for the contact or support request option
- Provide the property address and the URL of the listing page
- Request removal of interior photos and explain your privacy concerns
Trulia and Zillow Group typically process privacy-related requests within 3 to 10 business days.
Contact the Listing Agent
The most effective way to remove listing photos is through the real estate agent who originally listed the property. They can request photo removal directly from the MLS, which cascades to Trulia, Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com. If you purchased the home, contact the seller's agent. If you sold the home, contact your own listing agent.
Skip the manual opt-outs
One opt-out won't stop them — brokers relist your data. PrivacyOn removes your info from 100+ sites and keeps it removed.

Your Legal Rights
With twenty states now having comprehensive privacy laws in effect as of 2026, you have strong legal grounds to request data removal:
- CCPA (California): Right to delete personal information and opt out of data sales
- CPA (Colorado): Right to delete personal data with limited exceptions
- VCDPA (Virginia): Right to request deletion of personal data
- CTDPA (Connecticut): Right to delete personal data
- California DELETE Act: In 2026, the DROP portal at privacy.ca.gov/drop allows California residents to submit a single deletion request to over 600 registered data brokers
Your Address Is Exposed on Far More Than Trulia
Removing your information from Trulia helps, but your home address, phone number, and personal details are also displayed on dozens of data broker and people-search sites. Anyone can find your address through a simple name search on Spokeo, BeenVerified, Whitepages, or TruePeopleSearch. PrivacyOn removes your personal data from over 100 data brokers and continuously monitors for re-listings. With dark web monitoring, 24/7 scanning, and family plans for up to 5 people starting at $8.33 per month, PrivacyOn is the fastest way to protect your address privacy across the entire internet.
Additional Steps to Protect Your Address
After removing your information from Trulia, take these extra steps:
- Remove from Zillow: Since Trulia and Zillow share data, confirm your information is also removed from Zillow directly
- Remove from other real estate sites: Also request removal from Redfin, Realtor.com, PropertyShark, Rehold, and BlockShopper
- Consider property ownership through an LLC: An LLC or trust can keep your name off public property records entirely
- Monitor for re-listing: Property data is re-ingested from public records regularly. Use ongoing monitoring to catch when your information reappears
