How to remove yourself from TruthFinder (2026 opt-out guide)
TruthFinder is a paid background-report service owned by PeopleConnect. You do not opt out on truthfinder.com itself; the link sends you to the PeopleConnect Suppression Center, and one request there covers TruthFinder, Intelius, Instant Checkmate, US Search, and ZabaSearch.
Direct link to truthfinder.com. Opt-outs on this page are free; you never need to pay TruthFinder or us to use them.
Check if you are listed on TruthFinder
TruthFinder does not expose a stable public search URL we can prefill, so find your listing directly: open truthfinder.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 TruthFinder typically shows
- Background reports
- Criminal and court records
- Addresses
- Phone numbers
- Relatives
- Social profiles
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 TruthFinder
6 steps. Do them in a normal browser; most broker forms block automation and VPN exits.
- 01
Open the TruthFinder opt-out link above. It redirects to the PeopleConnect Suppression Center, the single portal that covers TruthFinder and its sister sites.
- 02
Enter an email address you control and tick the consent box. PeopleConnect emails you a verification link before it shows any records.
- 03
Open the verification email and follow the link back to the suppression portal.
- 04
Search for yourself by name and state, then select the records that are yours. You can suppress several matching records in one session.
- 05
Confirm the suppression. PeopleConnect shows an on-screen confirmation and emails a receipt; keep it as proof.
- 06
Re-check TruthFinder after the turnaround window. A suppressed record can return if a new data source is ingested.
What you need
- An email address you control (they send a confirmation link)
- The URL of your listing (search truthfinder.com for yourself first).
Gotchas
- The portal emails a verification link before showing any records; check spam.
- One suppression covers every PeopleConnect brand, but each brand can still surface a differently matched record; search them all afterwards.
- Cloudflare may challenge the redirect; complete it in a normal browser.
- PeopleConnect can re-add you when it ingests a new source, so re-check after a few months.
Leak Check Me opens the TruthFinder form and tracks the outcome.
TruthFinder 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.
TruthFinder opt-out FAQ
Does it cost anything to opt out of TruthFinder?
No. The TruthFinder opt-out at https://www.truthfinder.com/opt-out/ is free. You do not need to pay TruthFinder or Leak Check Me to use the steps on this page.
How long does TruthFinder take to remove my information?
TruthFinder typically processes removals in 48-72 hours. Re-check the listing after that window before assuming it is gone.
What do I need before I start the TruthFinder opt-out?
You will need email confirmation. Most people also want the URL of their listing, so search truthfinder.com for yourself first.
Will my TruthFinder listing come back after I opt out?
Possibly. People-search sites rebuild listings from public records and commercial feeds, so a suppressed record can reappear months later. Re-check every few months and file again if needed.
Does Leak Check Me remove me from TruthFinder automatically?
TruthFinder 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.
