InfoTracer Opt-Out: Remove Your Info (2026)
InfoTracer is a background-check and people-search site that compiles records from public databases, court documents, and social media. It presents detailed profiles including addresses, employment history, and criminal records. This guide shows you exactly how to submit an opt-out request to remove your data from InfoTracer in 2026.
The reality of data brokers. Removing yourself from a single broker isn't enough. The FTC and EPIC have documented that personal data resurfaces on people-search sites within 30–90 days because brokers re-source from each other. Priwall by mePrism monitors hundreds of brokers and re-removes you automatically.
Why opt out of InfoTracer?
InfoTracer bundles together a wide variety of personal data in a single searchable profile. The risks this creates are concrete. First, the inclusion of court records and criminal history — even cases that were dismissed or expunged — can cause real-world harm to your employment or housing prospects if an employer or landlord finds outdated information. Second, the combination of your address history and workplace details can give strangers a detailed map of your daily routine. Third, InfoTracer's data is sold to third-party background check services, meaning your information propagates well beyond the original site. Opting out of InfoTracer is an important step toward controlling what shows up in background searches of your name.

How to opt out of InfoTracer
- Go to the InfoTracer website. Open infotracer.com and use the search tool to find your profile by name and state.
- Locate your record. Review the results and identify your listing. Note the URL of your specific profile page.
- Access the opt-out or privacy portal. Look in the site footer or the privacy policy page for an opt-out or data removal link. InfoTracer operates a privacy request portal for data deletion.
- Submit the removal request. Complete the form with your name, the listing URL, and your email address, then submit your request.
- Verify your email. Open the confirmation email from InfoTracer and click the verification link. This step is required to process your removal.
- Follow up if needed. Check back after seven business days. If your listing still appears, contact InfoTracer's privacy team directly through their website.

Tired of the opt-out treadmill?
Priwall by mePrism handles the entire data-broker removal process for you — submitting, verifying, and re-removing across 200+ sites. Set it once and your information stays off the public web.
What to expect after opting out
InfoTracer typically processes removal requests within three to seven business days after email verification. Cached copies of your profile may persist in search engine results for a week or more after the listing is removed from the site. InfoTracer sources data from multiple public and commercial databases, so your profile may be re-indexed if those sources are refreshed. Repeating the opt-out every six months is a reasonable precaution. An automated monitoring service can handle re-removals without requiring you to check manually.
Frequently asked questions
Does InfoTracer charge for data removal?
No. InfoTracer is required to provide a free opt-out mechanism under applicable US privacy laws. The removal form on their privacy portal does not require payment.
Will removing my InfoTracer listing remove my criminal record?
No. Opting out of InfoTracer removes your data from their commercial database only. It does not affect official court records, which are maintained by government agencies. To remove criminal records from government databases, you would need to pursue expungement through the court system.
How does InfoTracer get my information?
InfoTracer aggregates data from publicly available sources including court records, voter registrations, property records, and social media, as well as from commercial data providers that compile and sell consumer information.
How long does InfoTracer take to process an opt-out?
Most requests are completed within three to seven business days after you verify your email. If the listing has not been removed after ten days, resubmit or contact their support team.
Can InfoTracer re-add my data after I opt out?
Yes. If your information appears in newly updated public records or data from partner sources, InfoTracer may re-index your profile. Setting a periodic reminder to re-check, or using a continuous monitoring service, reduces this risk.
