BlockShopper Opt Out Guide

BlockShopper is a real estate data broker that may show a name, home location, and sale history tied to a property. This, in turn, can affect privacy. Records come from government sources, and its news pages use material already made publicly available on the web. 

How to opt out of BlockShopper

Open the official privacy page and choose “Do Not Sell My Info”. Also, find the listing, copy the URL, and send an opt-out request by email. Some safety-based cases get a reply within 48 hours, while others may take longer under the policy.

Checklist:

• Open the privacy page
• Click the Do Not Sell toggle
• Search for your record
• Contact the support team
• Save the confirmation message
• Set a reminder to re-opt-out

BlockShopper is a homeowner and real estate service that displays data linked to homes, taxes, sales, and local coverage. Its policy describes the handling of personal information, personal data, and related rights.

• Sale prices
• Tax history
• Assessed values
• Ownership history
• Neighborhood notes
• Related news posts

Step-by-Step Guide

Open the privacy page

Open the footer link (Do Not Sell My Personal Information).

Click the Do Not Sell toggle

Move the toggle to the on position if you want to opt out of sales tied to tailored ads in that browser. This does not delete a listing, but it can reduce some tracking. Redact anything sensitive in screenshots. If the setting does not stick, try again in the same browser later.

Search for your record

Use the site lookup to search by name or place and open the exact profile you want reviewed. Copy the URL and make sure the property is yours before you send anything. If you take a screenshot, hide personal info first. Check both the homeowner and place views if one result is missing.

Send a request to support

Write a short request asking BlockShopper to review the page. Submit your name, URL, and enough identifiers to verify identity. Exceptions may apply for some government officials, law enforcement, public safety workers, people under an order of protection, or people facing a documented threat, like a police report. 

Track confirmation & timeline

Watch for a reply in your inbox or Spam folder and keep a copy. Qualifying safety cases should hear back within 48 hours. A verifiable consumer request may be answered within 45 days, with one extension when needed. If nothing arrives after the stated window, send one follow-up and keep the information removed note in your file.

Timelines, Verification & What to Expect

BlockShopper gives two timing tracks. Exception cases should get a response within 24–48 hours or sooner. A verifiable rights request may be completed within 45 days, with one added 45-day extension when needed. If no one responds after the stated window, use the same contact route once, include the original URL, and ask support to respond with a status check. The policy also notes that disclosures may be provided in a format that lets one entity transmit information to another entity and may keep records where needed to resolve disputes. 

Edge Cases & Troubleshooting

• No access to the original email or phone: explain that in the request and provide the page URL plus enough detail for verification.
• “Record not found”: try name and place variations, then switch views.
• CAPTCHA or submission errors: reload, change browser, and save a redacted screenshot.
• Verification code not arriving: check Spam, then retry once.
• Form rejects the request by region (EU/UK/CA): state your resident status clearly; privacy laws may affect the scope.
• Account deletion vs. listing confusion: browser controls are not the same as listing removal.
• Re-submitting after a failed attempt: wait for the window to pass, then try one more time.
• Google still shows old results: cached pages can take more time to refresh after content changes, which can affect user experience.

Will my data reappear?

A listing can return when publishing systems refresh from open sources, partner feeds, or later updates. The service uses official records and web materials, so repeated exposure is possible even after one action. To protect yourself, save each message, keep the exact URL, and set a 3–6 month reminder. If the same page returns, submit a fresh request quickly and check the related broker pages next. This is also a good time to review information from blockshopper.com in web results. Some pages may stay visible longer during indexing, and the service may offer only limited help outside its stated rules. 

Manual vs Assisted Removal

Manual:

• Pros: Full control; lower service cost; useful for one page.
• Cons: More time; ongoing checks; easy to miss re-listing.

Assisted:

• Pros: Faster repeated work; tracking dashboard; recurring checks.
• Cons: Paid service; some cases still need direct review; you may need to verify identity.
