This list, also known as BADBOOL, was started in September 2017 and was most recently updated on June 22, 2025 to update the PeekYou and Veripages opt-out URLs, update information on credit freezes, to add information on Spokeo, to add Ofsearch, Private Eye, and Unmask to the list, and to remove Peoplefinders since opting out of SmartBackgroundChecks seems to lead to removal from that broker and is free. We also changed ☠ 💐icons to just 💐. This list, also known as BADBOOL, was started in September 2017 and was most recently updated on July 29, 2025 to reorder the list by priority. We also removed PeekYou (which has entirely aggregate data), removed notes about Verecor/Vericora limitations which no longer exist, explained how to remove more types of Radaris records, improved CheckPeople, removed IDTrue (the site has been dead for a minute), updated USA People Search, and added to💰 SpyFly.
_NOTE: THIS LIST WILL BE REORDERED BY PRIORITY IN THE NEXT UPDATE, SO PLEASE MAKE A COPY NOW IF THIS WILL MESS UP YOUR PROCESS._ How to use this page: We recommend opting out of high-priority sites first. If you only have the time and patience for 13, start with sites marked 💐. If you can do 19, go to sites marked ☠. Once you’ve completed all of those, you can start to work your way through the rest of the list.

### 💐 BeenVerified
Find your information and opt out of [people search](https://www.beenverified.com/app/optout/search) and [property search](https://www.beenverified.com/app/optout/address-search). BeenVerified also owns PeopleLooker and PeopleSmart. Be aware that BeenVerified only allows one opt-out per email address, so you may need to reach out via email for additional opt-outs. You will need to confirm your opt-out request by clicking on a link sent to you via email.
### 💐 CheckPeople
Look for [your contact info](https://checkpeople.com/do-not-sell-info). If it shows up, select your record for removal. You will need to fill out your name and email address and solve a captcha. You will receive an email which will require you to confirm your opt-out request.
### 💐 ClustrMaps
[Find your information](https://clustrmaps.com/), and then [remove it](https://clustrmaps.com/bl/opt-out). It will ask you to check off anything associated with your account that you want removed.
### 💐 Dataveria
[Find your information](https://dataveria.com/). Opt out by entering the specific profile URL you find into the [opt-out form](https://dataveria.com/ng/control/privacy). You will need to confirm your opt-out request by clicking on a link sent to you via email. If the opt-out form doesn’t work, you can send each profile URL in a separate email to <support@federal-data.com>, but the company may redirect you back to the site that doesn’t work. (The link currently on the site bounces.) Stand by for an update once we find a more consistent working method.
### 💐 Intelius
[Find your information](https://www.intelius.com/). Opt out by emailing <support@mailer.intelius.com>, calling 1-888-245-1655, or [filling out a form](https://suppression.peopleconnect.us/login). If you’re told that Intelius can't find your account, you may need to confirm your mailing address, phone number, old email addresses, or other information via email. (As always, make sure Intelius already has the information before providing it.) Intelius owns Addresses.com, Addresssearch.com, Anywho, Classmates, DateCheck, Instant Checkmate, InstantPeopleFinder, iSearch, LookUpAnyone, Peopleconnect.us, PeopleFinder, PeopleLookup, Phonesbook, Publicrecords, Spock, Truthfinder, US Search, and Zabasearch.
### 💐 📞 MyLife
[Find your information](https://www.mylife.com), and then [opt out](https://www.mylife.com/ccpa/index.pubview). Although this is CCPA-focused, non-California folks have successfully removed their profiles. However, another option is to email your removal request to <privacy@mylife.com> with your name and a link to your profile. MyLife will try to get you to create an account with a copy of your driver’s license to submit a profile removal request, and we’ve received reports that emailing the <info@mylife.com> or <removalrequests@mylife.com> email addresses will require a phone call to (888) 704-1900. Previously, calling that number and pressing 2 allowed you to be removed from MyLife (and Wink.com) after providing your name, age, date of birth, email address, current mailing address, and a previous mailing address, but this no longer appears to be the case. (It also appears that you can sign up for a free membership to remove your reputation profile, though not your personal information such as your home address.)
### 💐 Nuwber
[Find your information](https://nuwber.com/). Try to opt out on the [removal form](https://nuwber.com/removal/link). Try "filter by state" to isolate the "person" URL you need. Don’t bother trying to get a full report; it’ll just waste your time with multiple steps and deceptive design trying to get you to pay for a subscription. If the URL you generate doesn't work in the form or you run across other problems, take a screenshot of your results and send them to <support@nuwber.com>, asking them to opt you out.
### 💐 PublicDataUSA
Find [your information](https://www.publicdatausa.com/). Copy the URL with your results and enter it along with your name and email address on the [remove page](https://www.publicdatausa.com/remove.php).
### 💐 Radaris
Find [your information](https://radaris.com/). You can ignore sponsored links that take you to other sites. It is possible you do not have a Radaris listing even if you find sponsored links. Once you find your information you can remove it in one of two ways. If your information has a "View Profile" button, copy the URL. Use the URL to complete [a series of forms](https://radaris.com/control-privacy), hitting “next” and waiting for new pages to load. If your information does not have a "View Profile" button, copy the text of your information or take a screenshot of it. Write an email to [customer-service@radaris.com](mailto:customer-service@radaris.com). Include your information and ask them to take it down. They will send you an automatic reply telling you to use the online form. Respond to their automatic reply to tell them the form does not accept your information. You may need to reply to them several times before they confirm removal.
### 💐 SmartBackgroundChecks
Find [your information](https://www.smartbackgroundchecks.com/). Then, [opt out](https://www.smartbackgroundchecks.com/optout). This will likely also remove your information from PeopleFinders.
### 💐 💰 Spokeo
Find [your information](https://www.spokeo.com/search) and remove your information by entering the URL of the profile you want removed and your email address on the [opt-out page](https://www.spokeo.com/optout). Make sure to scroll down to the grammatically incorrect “opt out your information” section. You will need to confirm your opt-out request by clicking on a link sent to you via email. Unfortunately, we’ve received reports that Spokeo retains removed information for paid accounts, even if it doesn’t show up in free searches. It may be worth paying for a $1 trial to see if the data is still showing up even after you have opted out.
### 💐 That’s Them
Find [your information](https://thatsthem.com/). If it shows up, try to [opt out](https://thatsthem.com/optout). Do not click on the Spokeo identity theft protection link, as it is a paid product.
### 💐 📞 💰 White Pages
Find [your information](https://www.whitepages.com/), and then [opt out](https://www.whitepages.com/suppression_requests). You will need to provide a phone number and enter an opt-out code when you receive the phone call. Opt-out information [is available](https://support.whitepages.com/hc/en-us/articles/115010106908-How-do-I-edit-or-remove-a-personal-listing). You can also [send a request form](https://support.whitepages.com/hc/en-us/requests/new). (I am including multiple options because these sites have a tendency to disappear.) Sometimes, information is removed from White Pages but not White Pages Premium, so make sure to double-check for your listing. Unfortunately, it may not be possible to opt out of White Pages Premium pages without an account. White Pages also owns [411.com](https://www.411.com/), so check for your information there. The opt-out is the same. You may need to verify your opt-out by receiving an automated voice call and entering a four-digit code into your phone.
