This people finder directory aggregates info about people into a searchable database and can include search and reverse phone lookup features, drawing from public records and other sources it can use. It also notes sharing with marketing partners and that no measure can promise security. Separately, many sites use an ad model or sales outreach, which can affect users.

Common info you may find:

  • Names and aliases
  • Current and past contact details (history)
  • Relatives (including a relative connection)
  • Property references
  • Social media profiles
  • Business info

Step-by-Step Guide

Open the official opt-out form

Search for your info and copy the URL. Scroll to the website footer and click on the “Remove My Info” button to reach the request page. Open the linked page in the same browser. Avoid posting screenshots publicly – blur personal information first. Tip: If you don’t see the footer option right away, go to the bottom and try again.

Submit your identifiers (email/phone + CAPTCHA)

Provide the identifiers requested in the fields, including your first and last name, email address, the profile URL, and complete any CAPTCHA. Review for accuracy, then send once. If you’re sending for someone else, have written authorization ready if support asks. Tip: Keep only one tab open to avoid submission errors.

Verify via code or link (email/SMS)

After submission, follow any verification prompt shown on the page. If you’re sent a code or URL, confirm promptly. Tip: Check Spam if the confirmation message is delayed, and redact codes in any screenshots.

Confirm deletion / Do-Not-Sell request

Look for a success notice confirming suppression of the public profile. If you want additional choices, read the policy language about sharing information in response to searches submitted on the Site. Tip: Save a dated note so you can re-check later without repeating work.

Track confirmation & timeline

The request page says processing happens within 48 hours after the request is received, so re-check after two days using a fresh browser session. If you still see the same result, use the support option on that page and send it again. Tip: Ensure your browser cache is cleared before you search. If you don’t see any changes, wait another day before retrying.

Timelines, Verification & What to Expect

Expect confirmation on the page right after you send, and then a change in what appears when you run the same search again. The request page says the index is updated within 48 hours once they receive your request. If nothing changes after 3 days, send one more time with the same URL and keep a private screenshot, but redact personal details. 

Edge Cases & Troubleshooting

  • No access to the original inbox: use the page URL and ask support for an alternate verification path.
  • “Info not found”: expand your search by state and try common name variations.
  • CAPTCHA errors: refresh the page, then try again from a different device.
  • Verification code not arriving: check Spam, wait 30 minutes, then try once more.
  • Region blocks (EU/UK/CA): use the policy page and ask what options apply.
  • Subscription vs profile confusion: a paid account is separate from public profile suppression.
  • Subscription help: if you need to cancel, use the support channel.

Will my data reappear?

Information on Google can return when data brokers and people search sites refresh from public sources, partner feeds, and information from data broker sites. That’s why no process can guarantee permanent deletion. Set a 3–6 month reminder, keep confirmations, and repeat the request quickly if the same profile shows up again.

Manual vs Assisted Removal

  • easier to document each result for your files;
  • helps you get comprehensive visibility into what is shown.

  • time cost is high.

Assisted:

  • recurring scans that can improve consistency.

Cons

  • Subscription cost and less hands-on control;
  • you still review matches for correctness.
