How to Remove Yourself from TruePeopleSearch

TruePeopleSearch is one of the most annoying data brokers because it gives away everything for free. No paywall, no subscription. Just your name, address, phone, email, age, and relatives laid out for anyone to see. On the bright side, their removal process is dead simple. No email verification, no phone call. Just click a button.

> What to do

  1. 1

    Search for yourself

    Go to TruePeopleSearch.com and search your name. You can also search by phone number or address. Find the listing that matches you.

    Search TruePeopleSearch
  2. 2

    Open your profile

    Click on your listing to open the full profile. Scroll down and look for a small "Remove This Record" link. It's usually near the bottom of the page, kind of hidden. They don't want you to find it.

  3. 3

    Confirm removal

    Click "Remove This Record." You'll get a confirmation dialog asking if you're sure. Click yes. Solve the CAPTCHA if one appears. That's it. No email, no phone, no verification.

  4. 4

    Search for more listings

    Search again using different name spellings, old phone numbers, and previous addresses. TruePeopleSearch often has multiple records for the same person. Remove each one individually.

> Where TruePeopleSearch gets your data

TruePeopleSearch aggregates public records, voter registration data, phone directories, and property records. They make money through advertising rather than subscriptions, which is why they show everything for free. This also means your data gets more exposure since there's no paywall stopping casual browsers from viewing your full profile.
