How to Remove your Data from US Search

Last updated 2025

Remove your data from US Search

US Search is a people-search data broker that compiles public records like names, addresses, phone numbers, relatives, and criminal history. The platform is part of the PeopleConnect network and shares your data across affiliated services. Removing your information from US Search helps reduce your exposure to unwanted solicitations, scams, and identity risks. You can opt out through their official suppression process.

Opt-Out Summary

  • Medium

  • 10 to 15 minutes+

  • Email confirmation required

  • 7 to 14 business days

Pain Points

The opt-out process requires submitting sensitive personal information such as your legal name and date of birth, and verifying your identity via email. Users must manually identify their record in a list of matches. Listings may reappear over time, requiring repeated opt-out submissions.

Step-by-Step Instructions

OPT OUT GUIDE

  1. Enter your email address
    Use a privacy-focused or alias email address to protect your primary inbox.

  2. Agree to terms and submit
    Check the required boxes to agree to the site's privacy policy and terms of service, then click "Next".

  3. Confirm your email
    Open the email sent from PeopleConnect and click the verification link or enter the code provided.

  4. Provide your personal information
    Enter your full legal name and date of birth. You may include additional known aliases.

  5. Search for your record
    Review the list of potential matches and select the record that matches your data.

  6. Choose the opt-out action
    Select "Suppress" or "Do Not Share" from the dropdown menu and confirm your request.

  7. Wait for confirmation
    You should receive a confirmation email once the suppression is processed.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If you do not receive the email verification, check your spam or junk folders.

  • If you cannot find your record, try variations of your name, city, or state.

  • Repeat the process if your listing reappears after several weeks or months.

Post-Removal Checklist

  • Confirm your listing is removed within two weeks by revisiting the site.

  • Search your name on Google and US Search to confirm removal.

  • Use Google's "Remove Outdated Content" tool if your info still appears in search results.

  • Set a calendar reminder to check US Search again every few months in case your listing resurfaces.

"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!"
