Remove your information from PeopleOwl

Submit an opt-out request below.

If your information appears in PeopleOwl search results and you want it removed, you can submit an opt-out request below. Once verified, we'll suppress the specific phone numbers, addresses, or emails you submit from future PeopleOwl searches within 30 days.

What this does, and doesn't do

An opt-out suppresses the specific data points you submit — the phone number, email, or address you tell us about. It does not:

Track changes to your information. If you get a new phone number, move to a new address, change your email, or change your name, that new information may appear in future searches. We have no way to know when your information changes, so we can't suppress it automatically. You'd need to submit a new opt-out for the new data.
Remove your information from public records. Voter rolls, deed records, and court filings stay public regardless of what we do. To address those, contact the relevant government agency directly.
Remove your information from other people-search sites. Each site has its own opt-out process. PeopleOwl is just one.
Erase records of you held by our data providers. Enformion and other providers maintain their own databases. Our suppression filters their results before showing them to PeopleOwl users, but the underlying data is still held upstream.

If you want comprehensive removal across many people-search sites, services like DeleteMe and Kanary monitor and submit opt-outs across hundreds of brokers on an ongoing basis. We're not affiliated with them; mentioning them as honest context.

Common questions

What if my phone number, address, or name changes later?

Your previous opt-out only covers the specific information you submitted. If your data changes, the new information isn't suppressed automatically — you'd need to submit a new opt-out request for the new phone, address, or other detail. We have no way to track changes to your information on our own.

How long does this take?

We process verified opt-out requests within 30 days. Most take less than a week.

Will my information come back?

Once suppressed, your information stays suppressed from PeopleOwl. However, if our data providers continue to index your public records, your information may reappear in our raw data sources. Our suppression list filters these out before showing results.

I don't have an email address. Can I still opt out?

Email verification is required to prevent malicious opt-outs (someone trying to remove someone else's data). If you can't provide an email, contact support@peopleowl.com directly with photo ID and we'll process the request manually.

Can I opt out someone else (a deceased relative, a minor)?

For deceased individuals or minors you have legal authority over, contact support@peopleowl.com directly with documentation (death certificate, custody papers, etc.).

Is opting out free?

Yes. We don't charge for opt-out requests, and we never will. If anyone asks you to pay for an opt-out service that promises to remove you from PeopleOwl, that is a scam.

What about the California Delete Act?

California residents have additional rights under the Delete Act (SB 362). Submitting this form satisfies that right for PeopleOwl specifically. To use the state's one-stop deletion mechanism (when it goes live), visit the California Privacy Protection Agency website.
