Addresses.com Opt Out & Data Removal Guide

Addresses.com is a data broker website focused on people search services. A free search on Addresses.com will allow anyone to see your mailing address, the previous occupants of your home, and your neighbors.

Your search results on Addresses.com will be filled with links to Intelius search results. Intelius, another and much bigger data broker website, will happily reveal much more of your private information, including your social media profiles, to anyone willing to pay for a trial membership.

Having so much of your private information on Intelius and Addresses.com tempting users to pay for a report on you puts you at greater risk of scams, harassment, discrimination, stalking, and identity theft.

Luckily, all you have to do is fill out one opt-out form to remove yourself from both Addresses.com and Intelius. Your profile page on both data broker sites should be gone within 24 hours.

Use our step-by-step instructions to make the process quick and easy and don’t forget to check out our other opt-out guides. You can also use our personal information service to opt out of Addresses.com and other people search sites automatically. Data brokers want you to feel helpless and overwhelmed, we’re here to help you put them in their place.

Opt-out process:  5 – 10 minutes

Removal Requirements: Email

You’ve seen how these two data broker sites are connected behind the scenes. One company, Addresses.com, here acts like a sales funnel for the other – Intelius. Data brokers like these are often connected in a wide variety of ways. There are hundreds of data brokers worldwide, and you’ve never heard of most of them.

See for yourself: type your name, phone number, or address into a search engine. You’ll likely see search results from people search sites filling your screen.

Many data brokers aren’t interested in having your personal information show up in free searches like this, though. Look into data brokers operating in your area to get a sense of what other data broker sites might have your personal info.

Opting out of every data broker that has or might have your personal data is your only road to data privacy.
