-
Copy the URL from the browser address bar
You’ll get to a search results page. There may be several records belonging to other people with the same name as you. Review all records, click on the correct one, and copy the URL from the address bar of your search engine.
-
Start the opt-out process
Now that you have the link to your record handy, you can fill out the opt-out form. To do this, go to the OfficialUSA.com opt-out page: https://www.officialusa.com/opt-out/. Enter your email address, the URL you copied before, and your home address. Then click “next step.”
-
Select your profile and click “remove”
A list of records will appear. Select your record from the list and click “remove.” If several records match your personal details, then you will have to remove the process for each one of them separately.
5. Continue your data removal journey
That’s really all it takes to get your information removed from OfficialUSA.com. Your profile should be removed right away, which you can verify by going back to view the record (which should now come up with an error message).
Don’t let your guard down just yet, though. While OfficialUSA.com may have taken down your personal profile for the time being, it’s very likely that they will list your data again. Most data brokers update and replenish their databases on a regular basis. Unfortunately, this means that your personal information may end up on OfficialUSA.com again and again.
This is why we recommend that you return to OfficialUSA.com from time to time and restart the opt-out process if your record reappears. In fact, you should check other people search sites for your information regularly.
