How to Opt Out of PeopleConnect (2026)

Q: How long does PeopleConnect take to remove my data?

Most requests are processed within 24 to 72 hours after email verification. In some cases it can take up to a week. If your listing has not been removed after seven days, resubmit the request.

Q: Does PeopleConnect share data with other brokers?

PeopleConnect is part of a broader data-broker ecosystem and may share or license data to affiliated sites. Opting out of PeopleConnect alone does not guarantee your data is gone from related properties. You should submit opt-outs to each site individually or use a service that handles them in bulk.

Q: What if I can't find my listing on PeopleConnect?

Try searching with variations of your name, including middle initials or common misspellings. If you still cannot locate a listing, your data may not currently be indexed on the site. Check again after a few months, as new records are added regularly.

Opt-Out Guides

PeopleConnect is a public-records data broker that aggregates names, addresses, relatives, and phone numbers from court records and other public sources. This guide walks you through each step to get your data off PeopleConnect 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 PeopleConnect?

PeopleConnect compiles profiles that include home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and relatives. Anyone can retrieve this information for free or a small fee. Three risks stand out: stalkers can locate your address; scammers can use the aggregated data for targeted phishing; and old inaccurate records can damage your reputation. Opting out removes your listing and reduces exposure across affiliated sites.

How to opt out of PeopleConnect

Go to the PeopleConnect website. Open peopleconnect.us in your browser. The site hosts a searchable directory of public records compiled from government and commercial data sources.
Search for your listing. Enter your first name, last name, and state to locate your profile. Review the results to confirm you have found the correct record.
Open the opt-out form. Navigate to the privacy or opt-out section of the site. Look for a 'Do Not Sell My Personal Information' or 'Remove My Info' link, typically in the footer.
Submit your removal request. Fill in the required fields — your name, location, and the URL of the listing you want removed — then submit the form.
Verify by email. PeopleConnect will send a confirmation email. Click the verification link to finalize your removal request. Without this step, the request will not be processed.
Check back after 72 hours. Revisit the site a few days later and search for your name to confirm the listing has been removed. If it still appears, resubmit using the same process.

Steps current as of 2026; if the broker has changed their flow, see their current privacy or opt-out page.
