This list, also known as BADBOOL, was started in September 2017 and was most recently updated on January 6th, 2025 to remove Glad I Know and on December 21, 2024 with new information on Dataveria, since the opt-out options were not working properly. We also added a new link for Radaris and hope to crowdsource data comparing the two methods.
This list, also known as BADBOOL, was started in September 2017 and was most recently updated on February 28, 2025 with updated instructions for Nuwber and Radaris. We also removed Pipl due to reports that there no longer appears to be a free way to search for data, and that hitting send on the opt-out form doesn’t work.
How to use this page: We recommend opting out of high-priority sites first. If you only have the time and patience for 14, start with sites marked 💐. If you can do 22, go to sites marked ☠. Once you’ve completed all of those, you can start to work your way through the rest of the list.

### 🎫 PimEyes
PimEyes is an online face search engine that uses face recognition to perform a reverse image search, finding pictures of your face (or others like it) throughout the Internet. If you want to see if your photographs are in PimEyes’ database, consider [uploading a photo](https://pimeyes.com/). (I used a very public photo that I know is already online, but you can also take a photo with your camera—which PimEyes claims it does not store.) To opt out, you’ll need to [upload an image of your face](https://pimeyes.com/en/opt-out-request-form), and also attach a photo ID with all sensitive data (other than your name and photograph) blurred. The easiest way to do this, in my opinion, is through Signal, the encrypted messaging app, which has a blur feature described [in its blog](https://signal.org/blog/blur-tools/). You can also use tools such as Photoshop or even make a copy of your ID and use a Sharpie. Finally, you’ll need to provide your email address.

Find [your information](https://radaris.com/). Fill out [a series of forms](https://radaris.com/control/my-info). Or, try selecting "control information" and "remove information" by clicking on the X next to it or by removing specific listings. You can also privatize your account. You unfortunately need to register to remove information, and are limited to removing six items at a time. (I recommend removing items even if you privatize your account because these settings don’t always stick.) Check out [the details](https://radaris.com/page/how-to-remove).
