PeopleWhiz Opt Out Guide

PeopleWhiz is a data broker that can display your name, home address, phones, and other personal details, which can raise online privacy risk and support identity theft. It typically compiles publicly available information from public records and commercial sources into profiles, so personal information may also appear in Google search results.

How to opt out of PeopleWhiz

Go to the privacy page first. Then, find your listing in the search results, submit the online opt-out form, and confirm your request via email. The removal process often finishes within 7 days. 

Checklist:

• Open the privacy page
• Search for your record
• Verify your email
• Complete CAPTCHA verification
• Verify your identity
• Save the confirmation email
• Set a reminder to re-opt out

PeopleWhiz is a data broker site that collects and sells personal profiles. Information from PeopleWhiz is collected from public and commercial sources. It’s a people search site for background checks.

Common data you may find:

• Names and known aliases
• Current and past addresses
• Phone numbers
• Email contact points
• Relatives or household links
• Property references and personal records
• Court records, legal filings, criminal records, or bankruptcy (if available)
• Social media profiles or public links

Step-by-Step Guide

Open the privacy page

Start on the PeopleWhiz main page. Select the link labeled “Remove My Info” in the footer to begin the removal process. If you save screenshots, blur anything that exposes personal information online. Tip: Keep the tab open until you reach the final confirmation screen.

Search for your record

To get your information removed, enter your name and location first in the search bar. Then, select the matching listing. Choose the control that indicates “That’s me.” If there is more than one match, repeat for each one and remove information like full addresses from any saved screenshots.

Verify your email and confirm your identity

When prompted, enter your email address and proceed. When you remove your information from peoplewhiz.com, the page also asks for a document to verify your identity. Redact sensitive fields before you upload. To limit new exposure, consider using a blurred email. Open the message and confirm your request via email.

Confirm deletion

After you click the link, return to the page and look for a final confirmation message; this helps ensure your information is removed.

Track confirmation & timeline

Save the confirmation email and note the date. If data is still visible after 9 days, submit one more request and keep the email thread for your records.

Timelines, Verification & What to Expect

Most requests take 7–9 days. Confirmation may appear on-screen and by email. If nothing changes after 9 days, use the contact path on the opt-out page and submit once more, keeping your confirmation email for reference.

Edge Cases & Troubleshooting

• No access to the original email/phone: try a different email address; if blocked, contact support.
• “Record not found”: try prior cities, initials, or alternate spellings.
• CAPTCHA or submission errors: refresh, disable blockers, and try another browser.
• Code not arriving: check Spam/Promotions, wait a few minutes, then resend once.
• Form rejects the request by region (EU/UK/CA): the page may limit access; use their regional contact path.
• Account deletion vs. public listing removal confusion: an account is separate from listing deletion.
• Re-submitting after a failed attempt: wait 24 hours, then try again and keep the confirmation email.

Will my data reappear?

Listings can reappear when data brokers refresh from partner feeds or resellers. Thus, the re-listing risk is not zero even after data deletion. Set a reminder every 3–6 months, keep confirmations, and re-submit quickly. Also, check other people search sites like PeopleWhiz because information from data brokers can circulate across similar sites.
