FAQ

How long does it take Whitepages to process my 411.com opt-out request?

Your 411.com opt-out request should be processed immediately if you use the Whitepages opt-out form to submit your request.

When will 411.com delete my information?

Whitepages should delete your information from the 411.com results within 24 hours. Search for yourself on www.411.com a day or more after you complete the opt-out process. Clear your browser cache and try again if your listing is still there after this time. If it still shows up after doing this, contact Whitepages using their contact form.

How does 411.com get my information?

Whitepages, the data broker that provides 411.com’s search results, gets your information from a combination of publicly available and third-party sources. 

Publicly available sources include public records, published phone directories, and social media profiles. Third-party sources include aggregated public information, details provided as part of contests, sweepstakes and subscriptions, and a range of undisclosed private data sources.

Can 411.com add my information again, even after they approve my opt-out request?

Yes, 411.com (and Whitepages) can add your information again, even after you’ve opted out of their data collection activities. This is a big problem with most data brokers. It happens because data brokers are constantly scraping and purchasing data: if incoming data isn’t properly identified as belonging to you, a new listing will be created in your name.
This is why we recommend regularly checking back with sites like 411.com to make sure your data doesn’t reappear under a new listing. When it does, simply repeat the opt-out procedure using the URL of the new listing. An automated data removal service like Incogni handles all of this for you.

Does 411.com have the right to use my data?

Yes, 411.com has the legal right to use your data. Given that it’s governed by laws like the CCPA, you also have the right to request that your data be removed from its search results and databases. Depending on your location, 411.com might have no choice but to honor your request.
