Do you want DeleteMyInfo to remove your information from data brokers?
How to Get Your Information Off PeopleWhiz (Without Losing Your Patience)
PeopleWhiz is one of those sites most people don’t hear about until they accidentally find themselves on it. You search your name, or a phone number, and suddenly there’s a page listing addresses, relatives, and details you never agreed to share.
It’s jarring. And confusing. Especially since you didn’t sign up for anything.
The upside is that you can opt out. It just takes a few steps.
How to Opt Out of Peoplewhiz.net?
What PeopleWhiz Is Doing With Your Data
PeopleWhiz pulls information from public records and shared databases. Stuff like:
• Old addresses
• Phone numbers
• Possible relatives
• Age ranges
• Location history
None of this means you put your info online yourself. It usually came from records that existed somewhere else, then got bundled into a profile.
PeopleWhiz didn’t create the data — they just organized it in a way that makes it easy to find.
Finding Your PeopleWhiz Listing
Before you can remove anything, you need the exact page that’s about you.
Go to PeopleWhiz and search your full name.
If you get a lot of results, add a city or state.
Look through the list until you find the one that matches your details.
Once you’re confident it’s your profile, open it and copy the page URL. You’ll need that link for the opt-out request.
How to remove yourself from Peoplewhiz.net?
1.Open PeopleWhiz.net, scroll down, and click the “Remove My Info” link to access the opt-out page.
2.Click on “Here.”
3.Enter your first and last name, city, choose your state, and click “Search Now.”
4.Locate your record and click the “That’s Me” button.
5.Provide a valid email address to receive a verification email from PeopleWhiz.net and click the “Next” button.
6.At this point, PeopleWhiz.net will request an ID copy to verify your identity. You can upload any image; it’s recommended not to use a real picture of yourself. Click the “Next” button when you’re done.
DeleteMyInfo can help you save time by removing all your information from data brokers.
7.Check your inbox for a verification email from PeopleWhiz.net and click on the “Confirm Opt-out” link to verify your removal request.
8.Your opt-out request has been received.
Don’t Miss the Confirmation Email
After you submit the form, PeopleWhiz usually sends a confirmation email.
Open it.
Click the link inside.
If you don’t do this, the request won’t go through. No confirmation means no removal.
Once confirmed, give it a few days and then search your name again to make sure the listing is gone.
If Your Info Comes Back Later
This catches a lot of people off guard.
PeopleWhiz updates its data from time to time. When that happens, old listings can reappear — even if you opted out successfully before.
It doesn’t mean you failed. It just means the site pulled the same data again from another source.
If it shows up again, you repeat the opt-out.
Why People Choose to Remove Their Info
Most people aren’t trying to disappear. They’re just uncomfortable with:
Strangers seeing their home address
Spam calls tied to old numbers
Family members being listed publicly
Feeling searchable without consent
It’s about boundaries, not secrecy.
How DeleteMyInfo Helps With This
PeopleWhiz is rarely the only site listing your data. There are dozens more doing the same thing, often using overlapping sources.
DeleteMyInfo helps by:
• Finding where your personal information appears
• Submitting opt-out requests across multiple sites
• Checking back to make sure removals stick
• Handling repeat removals when data resurfaces
Instead of dealing with this one site at a time, you can hand it off and move on.
Final Thought
Running into your own profile on PeopleWhiz can feel invasive, but it’s not permanent. Opting out takes a bit of effort, and staying off takes awareness, but you’re not stuck with it.
Once you start removing your data, it gets easier to stay ahead of it.
