ThatsThem Opt Out Guide

ThatsThem is a free people search site. It can show your name, address, and phone number together. This can expand your digital footprint and create consumer privacy and cybersecurity headaches, including identity theft. The website typically aggregates consumer information from public records and commercial sources, then displays it in a searchable database.

How to opt out of ThatsThem

Visit thatsthem.com. Find your listing, open the official request page, and send a single opt-out request using the details shown (email/phone). Confirm via the on-page message. The opt-out process usually takes 5–14 days.

Checklist:

• Search for your record
• Locate the form
• Submit identifiers
• Complete the CAPTCHA
• Save the confirmation message
• Set a reminder to re-opt out

thatsthem.com is a directory-style lookup that functions like a people search site and a data broker. ThatsThem offers search by name and contact fields. It also provides reverse-style lookups. The data broker may pull information from public sources, and you can see more than one listing for the same person.

Common data you may find:

• First and last name
• Phone numbers
• Email addresses
• Current and past addresses
• Relatives/household links
• Property or government records
• IP address lookups

Step-by-Step Guide

Search for your record first

Use the search engine on ThatsThem. Enter your full name with a city/state. Then, open the result that matches you. Copy the listing details information exactly as it appears. If you see multiple records, plan to submit separate requests later. Before sharing screenshots, redact any personal info and blur sensitive personal information.

Locate the opt-out form

Scroll to the page footer on ThatsThem and look for the “Do Not Sell” link. Open it in a new tab so you can compare fields with your listing without losing your place.

Submit your identifiers

Fill in the form fields using the details from your listing. These are your name, address, email address, and phone number. Double-check spelling and spacing so the matching works. Consider a disposable email address if you prefer not to use your primary inbox.

Confirm deletion

Complete the CAPTCHA and submit. Look for the on-page confirmation text and save it. If you’re prompted for an extra choice, keep the submission limited to what’s required to match the listing.

Track confirmation & timeline

Store the confirmation message and re-check the listing after 5–14 days. If it still appears, submit one more opt-out request using the same details from ThatsThem. Once it disappears, personal information will be deleted, and you should mark the date when the record was removed from ThatsThem.

Timelines, Verification & What to Expect

Most requests are processed within 5–14 days as the database refreshes. Confirmation is usually an on-page message. California residents can reference the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) for a privacy request. The listing should no longer appear in the public listing view.

Edge Cases & Troubleshooting

• No access to the original email/phone: use the values displayed on the listing so the match succeeds, then use an inbox you can access for any follow-up.
• “Record not found”: try alternate city/state entries and spelling variations.
• Submission errors: switch browsers or networks and try once.
• Form rejects the opt-out request by region (EU/UK/CA): use the site’s privacy contact path if shown.
• Account closure vs. public listing confusion: closing an account does not automatically remove information from the listing.
• Re-submitting after a failed attempt: correct mismatched fields and resubmit once.
• How to cancel ThatsThem: if you created an account, close it in account settings, then separately submit the listing form.

Will my data reappear?

Listings can return when data broker feeds refresh, when partner aggregators update, or when resellers re-publish. Re-listing risk is real across data broker websites. Set a 3–6 month reminder, keep your information, and repeat quickly if you see a new listing; this helps with online privacy. You can also remove your data from ThatsThem by repeating the same steps when a listing returns. The removal process often needs repeating, and it’s normal to resubmit to remove your data and reduce exposure.

Manual vs Assisted Removal

Manual:

• Pros: Removing data manually gives you control over what you submit and when; you can remove your personal data from a single site quickly.
• Cons: Time investment and repeat monitoring; manual tracking for re-checks.

Assisted:

• Pros: A data removal service can speed up requests, verification, and tracking; recurring checks across hundreds of other data sources.
• Cons: May require paid plans.
