How to Remove Your Address from People-Search Sites
Your home address appearing on people-search sites is more than an inconvenience — it can be a safety concern. Here's what you need to know about removing it.
Important: No service can guarantee complete removal of personal information from the internet. Opt-out processes and timelines vary by source.
Why your address is online
People-search sites aggregate data from property records, voter registration, public court filings, and commercial data brokers. Any public record tied to your name can surface your address.
The challenge of DIY removal
There are dozens of sites that may list your address. Each has its own opt-out process, timeline, and verification requirements. Manually opting out of each one can take hours and needs to be repeated periodically.
California residents have stronger rights
Under CCPA and the California Delete Act, California residents can request deletion of personal information from data brokers. These laws provide additional leverage that our team uses when submitting removal requests.
A better approach
DeleteMyTrace assesses the current launch-approved set of 8 sources for your address and other personal data, then submits lawful removal requests to every supported site your cleanup plan flags. We verify removals and watch for reappearances.
