How to remove yourself from PeekYou (2026 opt-out guide)
PeekYou indexes social profiles, usernames, and public web mentions into a single people-search page, so it often surfaces accounts you forgot about. Its opt-out form takes the profile URL and an email address.
Direct link to peekyou.com. Opt-outs on this page are free; you never need to pay PeekYou or us to use them.
Check if you are listed on PeekYou
PeekYou does not expose a stable public search URL we can prefill, so find your listing directly: open peekyou.com, search your full name plus your state (and previous states), and copy the URL of the record that is you. The opt-out form usually asks for that URL or the same name and location.
What PeekYou typically shows
- Social profiles and usernames
- Web mentions
- Age
- Location
- Photos
The free Leak Check Me scan checks the details you provide against known breach records and the people-search sites we cover, so you can see the whole exposure picture before filing forms one by one.
Remove yourself from PeekYou
5 steps. Do them in a normal browser; most broker forms block automation and VPN exits.
- 01
Search peekyou.com for your name and location and copy the URL of the profile that is you. PeekYou profile URLs contain a numeric ID you will need.
- 02
Open the PeekYou opt-out page linked above.
- 03
Paste the profile URL, enter your name and an email address you control, and complete the reCAPTCHA.
- 04
Submit, then open the confirmation email from PeekYou and click the link.
- 05
Re-check the profile after ten days. Because PeekYou builds pages per username, search your usernames too.
What you need
- A CAPTCHA or human check in a normal browser
- An email address you control (they send a confirmation link)
- The URL of your listing (search peekyou.com for yourself first).
Gotchas
- PeekYou is served on the bare domain; the www host did not resolve at verification time.
- The site is Cloudflare-gated for bots; use a normal browser.
- Removing the profile does not remove the social accounts it linked; tighten those separately.
- Processing is slower than most people-search sites.
Leak Check Me opens the PeekYou form and tracks the outcome.
PeekYou requires a step only you can do (a CAPTCHA, email confirmation). After you authorize a mission, our agent opens the official form with your scan details, hands you that step, records the request as filed only when the site confirms it, and re-checks the listing before anything is called removed. If the site blocks the agent, you get the same instructions above instead of a fake status.
Source Removal Sprint is $39 one-time for up to three eligible supported-source requests. MyPrivacyAgent Patrol is $19/month with re-checks; cancel anytime. Nothing is marked removed before a provider or native action succeeds.
