Start Here: The Complete Removal Checklist

Removing yourself from everything at once is overwhelming. This is the order that gets you the most privacy per hour of effort.

Step 1 — The big people-search sites (do these first)

These get the most traffic and feed everything else: Whitepages, Spokeo, BeenVerified, Radaris, Intelius, TruePeopleSearch, FastPeopleSearch. About an hour total.

Step 2 — Cut the data off at the source

The master aggregators supply the small sites: LexisNexis and Acxiom. Slower to process, but high leverage.

Step 3 — Your face

PimEyes and Clearview AI — facial-recognition search is the fastest-growing privacy threat.

Step 4 — Google

Use Results About You to sweep what search still shows, and blur your house if you want.

Step 5 — Phone, mailbox, inbox

Do Not Call Registry, junk mail opt-outs, pre-screened credit offers, and our safe unsubscribing guide.

Step 6 — Maintenance

Brokers re-list you from fresh public records. Re-check Step 1 sites every 3–6 months. Californians: use DROP to hit 600+ brokers in one request.
