How to Remove your Data from PeopleConnect
Last updated 2025
Remove your data from PeopleConnect
PeopleConnect operates a network of people search sites including Intelius, TruthFinder, InstantCheckmate, USSearch, and others. These platforms aggregate public records such as phone numbers, addresses, and employment history into searchable online profiles. Removing your data via PeopleConnect’s Suppression Center helps suppress your profile across all affiliated sites, protecting your personal privacy.
Opt-Out Summary

Many users report suppression within 24 hours, but allow up to several weeks for full removal from all affiliated platforms.
Pain Points
The process may require providing your full legal name, date of birth, and full address, which can feel very invasive. Some users report that matching records do not always appear, even when they are listed on affiliated sites. A time-sensitive code sent via email or phone is required for verification, and this code typically expires within 15 minutes. Additionally, suppression is not the same as permanent deletion. Your data may be re-collected from public sources over time.
