How to Remove Yourself From Spokeo

  3. Go to the opt-out page: spokeo.com/opt_out/new
  4. Paste your profile URL and enter your email address.

Gotchas

  • One URL at a time. Spokeo says each listing has its own URL and must be opted out individually — check for duplicates under old addresses or name variants.
  • It reappears. Spokeo states plainly that it continually receives new public records, so your info "may reappear in the future without notice." Re-check periodically.
  • Source data remains. Opting out hides the Spokeo listing; it doesn't delete the underlying public records.
