How to Keep ZabaSearch from Exposing Your Identity

Deletemyinfo ZabaSearch

Seeing your name, old addresses, or phone number show up on ZabaSearch can feel like someone peeled back your curtain. The good news: you do have tools to push back and protect yourself. Below’s a practical guide — no jargon, just steps you can take.

What’s the Deal with ZabaSearch Anyway?

ZabaSearch is a people-search / data aggregator site. It pulls together bits from public records, third-party databases, and other sources to create profiles with contact info, past addresses, possible relatives, etc.

Because it leans on public or semi-public data, a lot of what’s on ZabaSearch isn’t necessarily verified. That means mistakes, mismatches, or outdated entries happen. But those entries still feel personal — and that can be risky.

Why You Want to Push Back

If you leave your data visible, some of the downsides include:

  • Targeted spam, robocalls, or phishing attempts

  • Identity fraud or scams that use bits of your info

  • Unwanted attention or stalking (especially if someone can piece together your address history)

  • Inaccurate info being taken as fact

Protecting your exposure helps reduce those risks.

How to Opt Out of ZabaSearch (Step by Step)

Here’s how to suppress or remove your data from ZabaSearch:

  1. Scroll to the bottom of the ZabaSearch page
    Look for a link like “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” or “Suppress My Data.”

  2. You’ll be redirected to Intelius / PeopleConnect’s suppression tool
    Since ZabaSearch is powered by Intelius (through PeopleConnect), the actual opt-out happens via their system.

  3. Enter your email and agree to terms
    That kicks off the process — they’ll send an email for verification.

  4. Click the verification link in your email
    That confirms your request.

  5. Add more identifying details
    They’ll ask for your date of birth, full legal name (and maybe alternate names), etc., to match your record.

  6. Pick the matching profile or record
    There might be multiple versions of your name — choose the one that matches your details.

  7. Verify via email or phone
    Use the method they provide to confirm it’s you.

  8. Choose “Suppress” or similar option
    Set the listing to “suppressed” or “hidden” so it’s removed from public view.

  9. Wait & check back
    Give it a few days. Then search yourself in incognito or private mode to see if your listing is gone.

What to Do If It Reappears (Yes, It Can)

Even after you successfully suppress your listing, ZabaSearch (or Intelius) might repopulate your data if they pull from new sources. To stay ahead:

  • Periodically repeat the opt-out process

  • Use a name variation (if applicable) when searching

  • Monitor your own name, address, and phone across different people-search sites

  • Use alerts (e.g. Google Alerts) to catch when your info resurfaces
