Find your listing
Search your name and state on TruthFinder so you know which record is yours: age, past cities and relatives help you tell people apart.
Open the PeopleConnect Suppression Center
TruthFinder's opt-outs run through PeopleConnect at suppression.peopleconnect.us. Enter an email address and click the verification link it sends. The link expires quickly, so open it right away.
Confirm your details
Enter your date of birth and full legal name, then pick the record that matches you. Only select records that are really yours.
Verify with a code
PeopleConnect sends a one-time code to an email address or phone number already on the record. Enter it to prove the record is yours.
Set the record to suppressed
Choose to suppress the record and save. Take a screenshot of the confirmation, then search again in a few days.
Official page: PeopleConnect Suppression Center ↗
TruthFinder can show your home address, phone number, criminal and court records, relatives and email. TruthFinder doesn't send a confirmation email when the suppression finishes, so the only way to know is to search again. Google can keep showing an old result for a few days after the page is gone.
If the code can't reach you because the email or phone on your record is old, PeopleConnect's support team can verify you another way. Their contact details are in TruthFinder's privacy policy.
TruthFinder runs on PeopleConnect alongside Intelius, Instant Checkmate and US Search, so one suppression covers them.
Finds every listing
We search TruthFinder for every profile tied to your name, phone, email and past addresses, including duplicates and family listings the opt-out form won't show you.
Files and confirms the opt-out
We submit the removal, handle the verification steps, and check that the listing is actually gone.
Watches for it coming back
People-search sites re-add records from public data. We recheck TruthFinder and file again whenever your listing returns.
Covers the copycat sites
The same records show up on other people-search sites. One scan covers them along with TruthFinder.
Yes. TruthFinder's opt-out is free. You never need to buy a report or a subscription to remove your information.
About 48 hours is typical. Search again after that, and follow up with TruthFinder if the listing is still there.
It can. TruthFinder keeps adding records from public and commercial sources, so a new listing can appear after a move, a new phone number or a data refresh. Check again every few months.
TruthFinder runs on PeopleConnect alongside Intelius, Instant Checkmate and US Search, so one suppression covers them. Every other people-search site needs its own request.
