How to Opt Out of Trulia (2026 Guide)
Trulia is a data broker that collects and publishes personal information from public records. If you have found your name, address, phone number, or other personal details listed on Trulia, you have the right to request removal. This guide explains exactly how to opt out of Trulia in 2026, what to expect after submitting your request, and why opting out matters for your privacy and safety.
The reality of data brokers. Niche and regional people-search sites feed the larger broker ecosystem. One unaddressed listing can re-seed dozens of others within weeks. Priwall by mePrism watches the long tail of brokers — including smaller sites most consumers never think to check — and removes your data continuously.
Why opt out of Trulia?
Trulia is a major real estate platform that displays detailed property listings, including owner names, sale prices, and neighborhood statistics. While Trulia's primary purpose is to help buyers and renters find homes, the information it surfaces creates real privacy concerns. First, your name and home address are publicly linked in Trulia's property database, which can be used to verify where a person lives by anyone who searches your address. Second, historical sale data reveals when you bought your home and for how much, which may expose financial information you prefer to keep private. Third, Trulia's neighborhood profiles include crime data and school ratings that, in combination with your address, can reveal sensitive details about your living situation.

One down. Hundreds to go.

What to expect after opting out
Trulia and its parent company Zillow Group process privacy-related requests within approximately 3 to 10 business days. Because Trulia's listings are sourced from Multiple Listing Services (MLS), county property databases, and user-submitted data, complete removal of all information associated with a property may not always be possible — MLS data in particular is subject to its own rules. Trulia can suppress owner name data and adjust certain listing details. Property records themselves are public government documents and cannot be altered through Trulia. If your name reappears following a county records update, contact Trulia support again.
Frequently asked questions
Can I completely remove my property from Trulia?
Full removal of active or historical listings is not always possible because Trulia sources data from MLS feeds and public property records. However, you can request that personally identifiable owner information be suppressed or edited.
Does opting out of Trulia remove my listing from Zillow too?
Trulia is owned by Zillow Group, but the two platforms maintain separate databases. A request on Trulia does not automatically apply to Zillow. Submit a separate request on Zillow if needed.
Is my name shown on Trulia without my consent?
Trulia sources owner names from public property records, which are generally lawfully obtainable. However, you can request removal of your name from their displayed listing by contacting their support team.
I rent — does Trulia have data about me?
Trulia primarily focuses on property ownership and sale data. If you rent, your name is unlikely to appear prominently. Renters may still appear in connection with rental listings if the landlord included that information.
How do I stop a Trulia listing from showing up in Google search results?
After Trulia removes or edits your listing, the updated version should propagate to Google within a few weeks. You can also request removal of stale cached pages via Google Search Console.
