Remove Yourself From People-Search Sites

People-search sites (Whitepages, BeenVerified, Radaris and dozens more) republish your personal details. Removing yourself from all of them is the same process, repeated.

Step-by-step

  1. Make a list of the major people-search sites that list you (a free scan finds them fast).
  2. Visit each site's opt-out or 'suppression' page.
  3. Find your record and submit the removal request.
  4. Confirm via any email they send.
  5. Set a reminder to re-check monthly — they re-list people constantly.
Most brokers re-list your information within weeks. A one-time opt-out is rarely permanent — ongoing monitoring is what keeps you off.

FAQ

Is this free?

Yes. Opting out of data brokers is free by law. idsealed simply automates it across hundreds of them so you don't have to.

Will my data come back?

Often yes — brokers re-list people within weeks. Ongoing monitoring and automatic re-removal is the only way to stay off.
