6. Continue your data removal journey

That’s it! If you’ve followed our steps, your information should be removed from CocoFinder within 48 hours. However, while looking for your record, you may have noticed pop-ups and links to other people search sites like BeenVerified, Spokeo, and PeopleLooker.

Odds are, if CocoFinder has your personal information, there will be dozens of other data brokers that have it too. They constantly collect data from the internet, public records, and other data aggregators and compile detailed personal records.

Strangers having access to the kind of personal information they collect, all in one neat bundle, can expose you to all sorts of negative consequences such as robocalls, scams, identity theft, cyberbullying, and even online harassment and cyberstalking.

If you want your information removed from the web, use popular search engines to look up your name to find other people search sites. To find data brokers that don’t deal with individuals but with businesses such as marketing agencies and insurance companies, you’ll have to research which brokers are active in your area.

You can start your manual opt out from these opt out guides:

• NeighborWho Opt Out
• 411 Locate data removal
• Advanced Background Checks Opt Out
• Cyber Background Checks Opt Out
• Remove your information from Fast Background Check
• Intelius Opt Out
• LexisNexis Opt Out
• Numlookup Opt Out
• Clustrmap Opt Out
• US Search Opt Out

Once you opt out from all the data brokers you find, though, it doesn’t end there. Personal records have a way of respawning on these sites over time. We recommend you check back at least every few months to keep your data off the market.

You can also avoid the hassle and opt for an automated personal data removal service like Incogni. We send out dozens of opt-out requests at a time and handle every step of the removal process on your behalf.
