What UnMask shows about you
UnMask can show your home address, phone number, relatives and age. UnMask's opt-out uses your name and location rather than a profile URL, so enter them exactly as they appear on your listing.
Or let undoleak handle UnMask for you
Finds every listing
We search UnMask 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 UnMask 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 UnMask.
UnMask: frequently asked questions
Is it free to remove yourself from UnMask?
Yes. UnMask's opt-out is free. You never need to buy a report or a subscription to remove your information.
How long does UnMask take?
UnMask doesn't publish a timeframe. Search again after a few days, and follow up if your information is still there after two weeks.
Will my information come back on UnMask?
It can. UnMask 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.
Does removing myself from UnMask remove me from Google?
Not right away. Google can show an old snippet until it recrawls the page. Once the UnMask page is gone, you can ask Google to refresh the result. See our Google removal guide.
