How to remove yourself from Clearview AI

Some steps required · Last verified July 2026

Clearview AI scraped billions of face images from the web and sells face-matching to law enforcement and businesses. You cannot search it yourself, but you can demand deletion.

  1. Residents of CA, CO, CT, IL, IA, MT, NE, NH, UT, VA and the EU/UK can submit a privacy/deletion request via Clearview's privacy request page (clearview.ai → Privacy).
  2. You'll need to supply a photo so they can locate your records — they state it is used only for the request.
  3. Also submit a CCPA/GDPR deletion request in writing if you're covered; keep copies.
  4. If you're in California, the DROP platform covers registered brokers with one request.

Data brokers re-acquire records from public sources — re-check your listing every 3–6 months.
