How to Remove Yourself from AnyWho

AnyWho is operated by the same company behind YellowPages.com. It's a white pages directory that lists your name, address, and phone number. The site is basically the online version of that giant phone book that used to show up on your doorstep. Their opt-out process goes through Intelius, which handles the actual data removal.

> Where AnyWho gets your data

AnyWho pulls data from Intelius, which aggregates phone directories, public records, and commercial data sources. Since AnyWho is essentially a branded frontend for Intelius data, the opt-out goes through Intelius. AnyWho also has historical ties to the Yellow Pages directory system, which is why their data heavily focuses on phone numbers and addresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is AnyWho the same as YellowPages?▼
They're related. AnyWho is owned by the same parent company as YellowPages.com. However, they serve different functions. AnyWho focuses on people search while YellowPages focuses on business listings.
Why does AnyWho's opt-out go through Intelius?▼
AnyWho sources its people search data from Intelius. Since the data originates there, the opt-out has to happen at the source. Removing from Intelius should cascade to AnyWho.
How long until AnyWho removes my listing?▼
The Intelius opt-out takes 48-72 hours. AnyWho might take a bit longer to sync. Give it up to a week before checking.
Do I need to opt out of YellowPages separately?▼
If you have a personal listing on YellowPages (not common unless you have a home business), you'd need to handle that separately. AnyWho and YellowPages have different data sets.

Done with AnyWho? You probably have 20 to 40 more broker listings to remove.
