Data broker opt-out guides · 47 sites

Remove yourself from data brokers, one site at a time.

Every guide links straight to the broker's own opt-out page, lists what you need, how long removal takes, and the gotchas that make people give up. Free to use. Each page also says honestly whether Leak Check Me can file that site for you.

Every guide

Grouped by how much effort each opt-out takes.

What Leak Check Me actually files

Of the 47 sites here, 4 have plain forms our agent can submit server-side after you authorize, and 34 are guided handoffs: we open the official form with your scan details, you complete the CAPTCHA, email, or phone step, and we track the outcome. The rest are manual guides. Nothing is marked removed until a re-check finds the listing gone.

Why start with a scan

You do not need to file forty forms. The free scan checks the details you provide against known breach records and the people-search sites we cover, so you can see which listings exist before spending a weekend on opt-outs.

Common questions

Before you start filing forms

Are these opt-out guides free?

Yes. Every guide links directly to the broker's own opt-out page and walks through the steps. You never need to pay to use them.

Which sites should I remove myself from first?

Start with the sites that appear when you search your own name: Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, TruePeopleSearch, FastPeopleSearch, and Radaris. Those are the listings friends, recruiters, and strangers actually find.

Does opting out remove my information from the internet?

No. It removes the copy on that broker's site. Public records, social profiles, and other brokers keep their own copies, and most people-search sites re-list you after new data pulls. Plan on repeating the big ones every few months.

What does Leak Check Me do that this list does not?

The free scan shows which listings we can see for your details. The paid Source Removal Sprint ($39 one-time) and MyPrivacyAgent Patrol ($19/month) file the sites we support, hand you the steps only you can do, and re-check before anything is called removed. Each guide says honestly whether its site is one we file.
