  1. Access the PeopleConnect “suppression center” at https://suppression.peopleconnect.us/login

    Click on the “verify email” button in the email.
    CAUTION: Providing your email address is associated with certain risks (it’s not clear what PeopleConnect intends to do with your email once you’ve verified it). The risk of leaving your personal information up on PeopleConnect, Intelius, and PublicRecords.com is greater, though.

10. Continue your data removal journey

Congratulations! Your record should be removed from PublicRecords.com within 72 hours. But, if your data was on this website, it could be on hundreds of other data broker websites that operate in the US.

You can find these websites by searching your name online. You might find dozens of records ranging from social media profiles to court records. Once you find these data brokers, you should send individual opt-out requests to each one. 

If this sounds like too much work, Incogni can handle all the legwork for you. We send out dozens of opt-out requests at a time and regularly monitor these sites to ensure your data doesn’t respawn over time.

We will remove your data from dozens of the biggest data brokers at a time and send you regular progress reports to keep you in the loop.

We also recommend you check back periodically as such records have a tendency to re-spawn over time. Sadly, this means that you may have to repeat the opt-out process on many data broker sites every few months.
