How to Opt Out of TruePeopleSearch and Protect Your Privacy

How to easily remove your information and opt out of TruePeopleSearch
TruePeopleSearch is a free people search website offering details such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. If safeguarding your online privacy is a concern for you, removing your personal information from TruePeopleSearch might be a step you’d want to take.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to doing just that.
Opt Out of TruePeopleSearch
Step 1: Get started by heading to the TruePeopleSearch removal page, accessible at https://www.truepeoplesearch.com/removal.
Step 2: Input a valid email, confirm that the record you’re removing belongs to you by checking the box, and then complete the CAPTCHA challenge. Press “Begin Removal” afterward. A heads-up: be prepared to receive an email from TruePeopleSearch. We recommend using a proxy email so you aren’t providing your personal email address. There are many sites such as TempMail which is free and provides this temporary email service.

Step 3: Next you will be brought to a search box to look for your record or the record you intend to remove on TruePeopleSearch. Inputting your name and address generally makes the search process smoother. Don’t be concerned when you land on this page. It looks like the homescreen search page but you are still going through the opt out process.

Step 4: It’s quite likely that multiple records with your name might appear. Your task is to identify which one is yours. You can do this using the additional data linked to each record (such as age, residence, past addresses, and relatives).

Step 5: When you’ve located your record accurately, scroll down until you find the “Remove This Record” button situated at the bottom of the record.

Step 6: Once you click to remove your record, you’ll be navigated to another page. It will confirm that an email has been dispatched to your provided email address.

Step 7: Check your inbox for an email from TruePeopleSearch.com. Open it and click the given link to finalize the opt-out process.
