How To Remove Yourself From Locate Family
If you’ve ever typed your name into Google and found your phone number or old address sitting on LocateFamily.com, you know how unsettling that feels. This site collects details most of us never agreed to share, and suddenly they’re out there for anyone to see.
What LocateFamily Does
LocateFamily pitches itself as a way to help people “find lost relatives.” In reality, it’s a giant directory built by scraping records and data sources, then stitching everything into profiles. A typical listing might include:
Your name and people who might be related to you
Current and past addresses
Phone numbers or email addresses
For some, this isn’t just awkward — it can feel like a real privacy risk.
Why People Want Their Info Removed
Having your details on LocateFamily can create problems, such as:
Strangers or marketers contacting you out of the blue
Extra exposure for scammers and identity thieves
Old information resurfacing when you thought it was gone
The general unease of knowing your private life is searchable by anyone
Plenty of people would rather not deal with that.
How to Request Removal
Here’s the manual process LocateFamily offers:
Visit their “Remove a Listing” page.
Complete the form with your name, address, and the link to the profile you want taken down.
Submit your request. They usually send a short confirmation message on screen.
Wait a few business days, then check again to see if your profile is gone.
If it’s still showing, repeat the process or follow up with their support.
The Catch
Even if your profile disappears, there’s a chance it could pop back up later. LocateFamily refreshes its data from outside sources, so if those sources still have your information, it can get re-added.
That’s why it helps to think of this as ongoing maintenance rather than a one-and-done fix.
How DeleteMyInfo Fits In
Doing one removal request isn’t bad. Doing dozens across different sites? That’s a headache. DeleteMyInfo handles the messy parts:
-

-
We keep an eye out for your information if it shows up again
-

In short, you don’t have to keep playing defense against sites that thrive on recycling your data.
Wrapping Up
