Step-by-Step Guide

Open the official page

Open the website. Next, go to freepeopledirectory.com and select the footer link. Before you save any screenshot, cover sensitive fields. You do not need to sign in.

Submit your identifiers (name/phone/email/address + CAPTCHA)

Submit your identifiers (name/phone/email/address), then use the following verification steps shown on screen. Solve the CAPTCHA and press the submit button once. If the page errors, refresh once and try again in a private window. Keep screenshots redacted.

Verify via code or link (SMS)

Complete the verification prompt as soon as it appears. If a code does not arrive, check Spam and try again once. If you receive a link, click it and follow the on-screen steps until you see confirmation. Save the final confirmation screen for your records. Cover identifiers before sharing any image.

Confirm deletion / Do-Not-Sell request

After you verify, you should see an on-page message that your submission was received. Save that message and note the date for tracking. Choose the option that stops public display of the listing; do not add extra data. If you need help, use the footer support link.

Track confirmation & timeline

Wait 7–14 days, then repeat the same search to confirm the listing is gone. Save a dated screenshot and one short detail about what changed. If the listing is still visible after that window, submit it one time and keep the newest proof.

Timelines, Verification & What to Expect

After you submit and verify, processing typically takes 7–14 days. You may see immediate confirmation, but completion can depend on the next update cycle. Check again after the full window. If you receive no confirmation within 2 days, retry once in a different browser. If nothing changes after 14 days, use the footer support link. Include the URL of your data plus the date, so they can locate the listing.

Edge Cases & Troubleshooting

  • Inbox problem: retry once with a different inbox and keep a screenshot for proof.
  • “Record not found”: repeat the search with past locations, then open each listing to verify.
  • CAPTCHA errors: refresh, disable blockers, or try a new network.
  • Region blocks (EU/UK/CA): look for an alternate portal.
  • Subscription confusion: cancel any separate account, then complete listing takedown.

Will my data reappear?

Listings can return when aggregators refresh feeds or when resellers republish similar entries. To reduce recurrence, set a 3–6 month reminder, keep proof, and submit again quickly if the listing returns. It also helps to check related data broker listings on other sites, because one source can reseed another and affect Google results.

Manual vs Assisted Removal

Manual:

  • Pros: Free and gives you control; do it manually.
  • Cons: More time across each site.

Assisted:

  • Pros: Can automate monitoring; checks run automatically.
  • Cons: Service options vary; choose a plan; paid plans starting at tiered rates; compare sites covered and custom removals.
