How to remove yourself from PrivateEye (2026 opt-out guide)

PrivateEye is a Confi-Chek brand that shares its database with PeopleFinders. Its opt-out page on privateeye.com works; the old PDF form linked around the web is gone.

Open the official PrivateEye opt-out Check if you are listed

Direct link to privateeye.com. Opt-outs on this page are free; you never need to pay PrivateEye or us to use them.

Check if you are listed on PrivateEye

PrivateEye does not expose a stable public search URL we can prefill, so find your listing directly: open privateeye.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.

Step by step

Remove yourself from PrivateEye

5 steps. Do them in a normal browser; most broker forms block automation and VPN exits.

01
Open the PrivateEye opt-out page linked above.
02
Enter an email address you control and follow the prompts to search for your record.
03
Select the record that matches your age and past addresses and submit the opt-out.
04
Open the confirmation email and click the link if PrivateEye sends one.
05
Because PrivateEye and PeopleFinders share data, file the PeopleFinders opt-out too, then re-check both after a week.

What you need

An email address you control (they send a confirmation link)
The URL of your listing (search privateeye.com for yourself first).

Gotchas

The secure.privateeye.com PDF form referenced in older guides no longer resolves.
Processing takes about a week; do not resubmit early.
Opting out of PeopleFinders does not automatically clear PrivateEye.
Re-listing after new record pulls is common.

Guided handoff, then tracked

Leak Check Me opens the PrivateEye form and tracks the outcome.

PrivateEye requires a step only you can do (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.
