How to Opt Out and Remove Yourself from ClustrMaps
Opting out of people search sites like ClustrMaps can be tricky. Fortunately, ClustrMaps has an opt-out page with a moderately easy data removal process.
All you need to do is find your listing on their website, paste the URL into the CustrMaps opt-out page, and indicate all of the information you want them to delete. Once you submit the removal request, they should delete your listing immediately.
While opting out of ClustrMaps is simple, it might not be a permanent solution. Most websites like ClustrMaps add your data to their website again after some time. This can happen even when they have a “suppression list” that’s designed to keep them from collecting information on individuals who have chosen to opt out.
To ensure your data stays off these websites, we recommend you check back every few months to re-submit data removal requests.
