Do you want DeleteMyInfo to remove your information from data brokers?
Spokeo Opt-Out: How to Take Back Your Privacy in a Few Minutes
Spokeo can dig up a lot on you — your name, phone number, old addresses, even stuff you forgot existed. Sure, it can help you find people, but it also opens the door for spam, scams, or even stalkers.
The good news? You can remove yourself. And it’s not that hard.
Here’s exactly how to do it — plus a few tips to make sure your info doesn’t keep popping back up.
How to Complete a Spokeo Removal Request
Wait, What Is Spokeo Again?
Spokeo is one of those data broker sites that pulls together your public info from all over the internet. It grabs things like:
Phone numbers
Addresses (past and current)
Social media links
Demographic data
Even court or property records
It packages all that into a nice little profile — searchable by anyone.

Why You Shouldn’t Leave Your Info on Spokeo
Here’s the risk of doing nothing:
Identity theft — Too much exposed info makes you a target
Spam & scams — Your phone and email will thank you
Harassment — If someone’s looking to bother you, Spokeo hands them a map
Privacy drain — Even if it’s public, it shouldn’t be this easy to find
Removing your data won’t erase your digital footprint, but it definitely helps close a few open doors.
FAQ – Real Answers, No Fluff
How long does removal take?
Usually 24 to 72 hours after you click the email confirmation.
Can my listing come back?
Yep. If Spokeo re-scrapes public data, your info might show up again. Just repeat the opt-out.
Is there a fee?
Nope. The removal process is totally free.
What if I have multiple profiles?
You’ll need to opt out of each one separately. Annoying, but necessary.
Will this remove me from other sites too?
Unfortunately not. Spokeo is just one of many data broker sites.
Want to Stay Off the Radar?
If you’re serious about privacy, here’s what else you can do:
Tighten up your social media settings
Don’t overshare on public platforms
Use a VPN and private browsers
Keep an eye on where your name shows up
Opt out of other people-search sites while you’re at it
You don’t need to be paranoid — just proactive.
