How to Remove Yourself from ZabaSearch

ZabaSearch is a free people search directory that shows your name, age, address, and phone number. It looks like it hasn't been redesigned since 2005, and honestly, it probably hasn't. But don't let the dated interface fool you. They still have your data, and people still use them. The removal process goes through Intelius, their parent company, which adds an extra step.

  5. 5

    Verify removal on both sites

    After 48-72 hours, check both ZabaSearch and Intelius to confirm your listing has been removed from both sites. If one still shows your data, submit another request.

> Where ZabaSearch gets your data

ZabaSearch pulls data from Intelius, which aggregates public records, phone directories, and property records. Since ZabaSearch is essentially a frontend for Intelius data, removing yourself from Intelius should also remove you from ZabaSearch. However, the timing can vary, so check both sites after your request is processed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ZabaSearch the same as Intelius?
ZabaSearch is owned by the same parent company as Intelius. They share the same underlying database. Opting out through Intelius should cover both, but verify by checking both sites after removal.
How long does ZabaSearch removal take?
Since the removal goes through Intelius, it takes 48-72 hours on average. ZabaSearch might take slightly longer to reflect the change since it syncs from the Intelius database.
Can I opt out of ZabaSearch directly?
Not really. ZabaSearch's removal page redirects you to Intelius for the actual opt-out process. There's no independent removal form on ZabaSearch itself.
Why does ZabaSearch still exist?
Good question. It's essentially a legacy product that still gets enough traffic to justify keeping around. It ranks well in search engines for people lookup queries, so it continues to serve as a funnel for Intelius.
