How to Remove your Data from Truthfinder

Last updated 2025

Remove your data from Truthfinder

TruthFinder, owned by PeopleConnect, is a popular data broker and background-check service that aggregates personal details from public records. While they claim to never “sell” data, opting out is crucial to prevent your name, address history, phone, and more from being easily searchable online.

Opt-Out Summary

  • Moderate

  • About 10 to 15 minutes of manual input.

  • Yes — You must confirm via email or phone and provide full legal name and date of birth.

  • Suppression is nearly immediate after submission but may take up to 48 hours to reflect on the site.

Pain Points

Manual form complexity: Requires multiple steps including email, DOB, full legal name, record selection, and identity verification via phone or email.

Re-appearance risk: Suppression doesn’t delete data entirely; fresh records may show up again.

User-unfriendly interface: Some users report delays or ignored requests. Persistence is needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Go to the suppression portal
    Visit the link above and enter your email address.

  2. Verify your email
    Check your inbox (and spam folder) for a confirmation link from PeopleConnect. Click it to proceed.

  3. Enter your date of birth
    Fill in your birthdate and check the confirmation box.

  4. Add your full legal name
    Provide your first, middle, and last names. Add aliases if applicable.

  5. Select your record
    Review the results, choose the correct record, and continue.

  6. Verify your identity
    Choose email or phone verification. Enter the code once received.

  7. Suppress your record
    Select "Suppressed" in the Desired Behavior dropdown. Click Save to complete the request.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Make sure you use the same email associated with the record.

  • Turn off VPNs if the portal fails to load.

  • Complete verification steps quickly to avoid cancellation.

  • If no record appears, contact privacy@peopleconnect.us for manual opt-out assistance.

Post-Removal Checklist

  • Log back in to confirm status is "Suppressed"

  • Search for your profile after 48 hours to verify removal

  • Set a reminder to check again every 3–6 months

  • Consider automated removal services like Incogni, Optery, Onerep, or Aura for ongoing protection

"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!"
