This guide will help you cancel Spokeo so your personal information no longer shows up in the site\u2019s search results.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Spokeo is a people search site where you can find personal details about people that have been aggregated from other public sources, both online and offline. You can start your data broker search with a name, email address, phone number or physical address to look up people you know, including old classmates, coworkers, acquaintances or anyone else you may want private details about.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, that also means that people can use Spoke (and other people search sites) to find personal details about you. When your personal data gets into the wrong hands, all sorts of issues can arise, from stalking to identity theft<\/a> to financial fraud and more.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go over how to find the Spokeo opt out page and submit a personal data removal<\/a> request. If you need immediate help with data broker opt out requests, contact us today at 844-461-3632<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step-by-Step Spokeo Opt Out Guide<\/h2>\n

To opt out of Spokeo and remove your personal data from the website, follow these steps.<\/p>\n

1. Find Your Information on Spokeo<\/h3>\n

Before you go through the Spokeo opt out process, make sure your personal information<\/a> exists on the site. If your information isn\u2019t there, you don\u2019t have to worry about Spokeo, and you can visit other data broker sites to focus your removal efforts there.<\/p>\n

Starting on the Spokeo home page<\/a>, enter your details into the search bar.<\/p>\n

When Your Info Isn\u2019t On Spokeo<\/h4>\n

You may find that your information isn\u2019t on Spokeo if you see this message:<\/p>\n

At that point, you can either search a different way, like by your email address, or you can opt to visit another data broker site to opt out.<\/p>\n

If you have an uncommon name and Spokeo doesn\u2019t turn up any search results, chances are it\u2019s not on the data broker site. You may opt to try a common misspelling of your name to make sure a profile for you doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n

When Your Info Is On Spokeo<\/h4>\n

If a profile matching the personal information you entered does exist, you may be asked to provide more details to narrow down the search results.<\/p>\n

Enter the information Spokeo is asking for, then click the Continue<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not sure of the extra personal information, you can click the Not Sure<\/strong> link instead, and Spokeo will run a search based on what you already entered.<\/p>\n

Select Data Types<\/h4>\n

As Spokeo is running its search, you\u2019ll see a pop-up that says to select data types. You can select individual data types, select them all or opt to skip this step.<\/p>\n

You may get additional questions while the search is running, which you can also answer \u201cyes\u201d or \u201cno,\u201d or select \u201cnot sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Enter Your Contact Information<\/h3>\n

Before you can be shown the results of the Spokeo people search, you have to enter your contact information.<\/p>\n

Once your report is ready, click the Take Me To My Report<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n

Make the payment, then copy the URL from the profile page.<\/p>\n

5. Check Your Email<\/h3>\n

Next, check your email. You should receive a confirmation email. You\u2019ll need to click the verification link to complete the Spokeo opt out request.<\/p>\n

6. Watch for Future Listings<\/h3>\n

Since Spokeo gets its information from data brokers and public sources, it\u2019s possible your information will appear on the site again in the future. It\u2019s important to regularly check different people search sites in case your information appears on them again. If that happens, you\u2019ll need to go through the opt out process once more.<\/p>\n
