Last updated 2025

Remove your data from BeenVerified

BeenVerified is a data broker that aggregates personal information from public records, social media, and other sources to create detailed profiles accessible through its people search platform. These profiles can include names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and more. If you value your privacy and wish to prevent others from accessing your personal information through BeenVerified, you can follow their opt-out process to have your data removed from their database

Opt-Out Summary

  • Easy

  • Approximately 5 minutes per record

  • Yes, via email confirmation

  • Typically within 24–72 hours

Pain Points

Multiple Listings: If you have multiple records (e.g., due to name variations or past addresses), you'll need to repeat the opt-out process for each listing individually.

Email Verification Required: The process requires you to provide an email address to receive a verification link. It's advisable to use a dedicated or disposable email address to protect your primary email from potential exposure.

Reappearance of Information: Even after opting out, your information might reappear if BeenVerified updates its database with new public records. Regular monitoring is recommended.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Visit the Opt-Out Page: Navigate to the BeenVerified Opt-Out Page.

  1. Search for Your Listing:

    • Enter your first and last name, along with your state.

    • Click the "Search" button to locate your records.

  2. Identify Your Record:

    • Review the search results to find your listing.

    • Click on the "Proceed to Opt Out" button next to the appropriate record.

  3. Submit Opt-Out Request:

    • Enter your email address (preferably a dedicated or disposable one).

    • Complete the CAPTCHA verification.

    • Click the "Send Verification Email" button.

  4. Confirm Your Request:

    • Check your email inbox for a message from BeenVerified.

    • Click on the "Verify Opt-Out" link within the email to confirm your request.

  5. Repeat if Necessary:

    • If multiple records pertain to you, repeat steps 2–5 for each listing.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Didn't Receive Verification Email?

    - Check your spam or junk mail folders.

    - Ensure you entered the correct email address.

    - If using a disposable email, make sure it's still active.

  • Record Not Found?

    - Try searching with different variations of your name or previous states of residence.

    - Consider that your information might not be listed, or it may appear under a different variation.

  • Information Reappears Later?

    - BeenVerified periodically updates its database.

    - Regularly monitor the site and repeat the opt-out process if necessary.

Post-Removal Checklist

  • Confirm Deletion: After 72 hours, revisit BeenVerified and search for your name to ensure your information has been removed.

  • Monitor Regularly: Set reminders to check BeenVerified periodically, as new data might be added over time.

  • Opt Out of Other Data Brokers: BeenVerified is just one of many data brokers. Consider removing your information from other similar sites to enhance your privacy.

  • Use Privacy Tools: Consider using privacy-focused services or tools that help monitor and remove your personal information from various online sources.

"Really happy with this service 👌🏻 if you've ever tried taking on the arduous task of removing your own info from these people search sites, you know it's a huge hassle. So I was a bit skeptical mePrism would actually handle it all for me like they claim to. But after my first scan found 34 sites making money off of my personal data, it got right to work removing my info from each one. 2 days later, all 34 were marked as removed 👏 Couldn't have been any easier. Highly recommended!"
