Find the “people site map” on the bottom, and it’ll take you here (with a different initial at the end, depending on your last name): https://www.spoke.com/dir/people/name/a. Click the links to search for your last name. Then do the same for your first name. You will get to a results page. Click each name listing, and suppress it by clicking the "Request Removal" link at the bottom of the page, entering the URL in the contact form it takes you to, and providing your email address. You can also email your removal request to [feedback@readwritelabs.com](mailto:feedback@readwritelabs.com). Unfortunately, Spoke’s opt-out page is working—its link from the FAQ page is dead.
