People Search Now Opt-Out & Remove Your Info

People Search Now is a data broker website that specializes in publishing searchable profiles on everyday Americans. Anyone can look you up on PeopleSearchNow.com and find your age, partial address, partial current and past phone numbers, and much more.

All these redacted records don’t seem like much, but not only are they far from harmless, clicking on them takes the user to other data brokers. There, for a small fee, they can view full background reports on you, with everything from your criminal records to your full contact details.

Getting your personal information off People Search Now shouldn’t take you more than 10 minutes, if you follow our guide. We also have guides to get your data off those other sites.

Subscribe to our automated data removal service to turn a huge hassle and never-ending chore into a simple, one-time privacy upgrade.

9. Continue your data removal journey

And with that, you’re done! Well, almost. Your record should be removed from PeopleSearchNow within 72 hours, but it turns out that’s the least of your worries.

You probably noticed a ton of ads trying to blend in with the People Search Now search results. This site might be free, but it’s not designed to satisfy the curiosity of someone looking to pry into your business. Instead, it acts like a sales funnel for other people search and data broker sites. You’ll likely find your search results lousy with links to data brokers like TruthFinder, PeopleFinders, and BeenVerified.

These sites sell personal information they get on you from public records and other sources, often at a nominal price (with trial memberships from as little as $1). As dangerous as these sites are, they’re not even the whole story.

There’s a whole world of shadowy data brokers out there, with databases containing millions of records and billions of data points, each. There are hundreds of these companies in the US alone, and figuring out which of them have your personal information isn’t easy.

We recommend outsourcing the hassle and huge time investment involved in getting your data out of these companies’ hands to an automated data removal service.
