InfoTracer is a paid records-search service with an unusually broad catalog: alongside the standard people-search data, it advertises criminal records, court filings, arrest records, licenses, vehicle records, and more. Subscribers can go from your name to a deep public-records dossier in a couple of clicks.
InfoTracer used to run a self-service opt-out with an in-line record picker. That form is gone. Its opt-out address now opens a "Your Privacy Choices" page, and the way to get your record out of its search results is an email.
Steps checked against InfoTracer's live opt-out and "Do Not Sell or Share" pages on October 16, 2026. We read the pages; we did not send a request, so what happens after you email is as InfoTracer describes it.
What is InfoTracer?
InfoTracer aggregates public and commercial records into subscription reports that can include:
- Name, age, aliases, and relatives
- Current and past addresses
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- Criminal, arrest, and court records where available
- Property, vehicle, and license data
The breadth is the point, and the problem. A single InfoTracer report can stitch together more categories of your records than most brokers hold. The site is run by Infopay, Inc., of Boston.
Before you start
- Find your record first. Search your name on infotracer.com and note the first name, last name, city and state on each result that is you. Those four details are what InfoTracer asks for.
- Count your records. InfoTracer says each record must be submitted separately, so a second listing under a maiden name or an old city needs its own request.
- Send only what it asks for. It needs the four details above to find the record. Don't volunteer your date of birth, phone number or anything else.
How to remove yourself from InfoTracer, step by step
Step 1: Skip the old opt-out form
If you open infotracer.com/optout, you now land on "Your Privacy Choices," a page about privacy rights with no removal form on it. The removal instructions are on the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" page, linked from that page and from the site footer.
Step 2: Email privacy@infotracer.com
InfoTracer's page says to submit a request to remove your information from its search results by emailing privacy@infotracer.com, and to include your first name, last name, state, and city so it can identify the right record. A short message is enough:
Subject: Remove my information from your search results
Please remove my record from InfoTracer's search results and opt me out of the sale or sharing of my personal information.
First name: [your first name]
Last name: [your last name]
City: [your city]
State: [your state]
Please confirm by email when the record has been removed.
Step 3: Send one request per record
InfoTracer removes only the specific record you identify. If you found more than one listing in Step 1, send a separate request for each.
Step 4: Follow up if you hear nothing
InfoTracer says that if you asked for a confirmation and haven't received it within 15 days, you should write to privacy@infotracer.com again. Keep your sent email as your paper trail.
Special cases InfoTracer handles by email
- Covered persons, which InfoTracer describes as including current, former or retired judges, prosecutors, law enforcement members and their household family (it cites the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act and relevant federal and state laws): email privacy@infotracer.com with the subject line "Attention Covered Person Removal Request", giving your full name, residence, email address and your status as a covered person.
- Expunged or sealed records: InfoTracer says these can still appear because it aggregates public sources. Email privacy@infotracer.com with the subject line "Attention Expungement Records".
- Other privacy rights (access, correction, deletion, portability, and so on, in the states that grant them): InfoTracer takes these through a separate request form linked from its "Your Privacy Choices" page and says it responds within 45 days.
How long does removal take?
InfoTracer doesn't publish a turnaround for email removal requests. Its only stated clock is the 15 days after which you should chase a confirmation you asked for, plus 45 days for formal privacy-rights requests. Search for yourself again two weeks after you email.
Verify the removal
Search your name on infotracer.com in a private browsing window, with your city and state, then with name variants and past cities. If your record still appears after you have had a confirmation, reply to that confirmation with the record's details.
Why your listing can come back
InfoTracer re-sources continuously from public records, and (industry-wide) brokers also re-source from each other. Data removed here can flow back in from an upstream aggregator within a few months, particularly after life events that generate records (moving, court matters, new phone accounts).
Re-check quarterly, or hand it to Defynta's Web Watcher. Silver subscribers can turn on monitoring, which rescans InfoTracer and the other sites we read every 30 days by default and emails you when a listing comes back.
Who runs InfoTracer. California's data broker registry (read October 18, 2026) lists InfoPay, Inc. with InfoTracer and twelve more sites, among them GoodCar, PropertyChecker, CourtCaseFinder, CourtRecords.us, StateRecords.org, StateCourts.org, RecordsFinder, ThePublicIndex.org, EntityCheck, Sentinex and IDStrong. We have not checked whether one request to InfoTracer covers them.
Related sites to check next
- TruthFinder and Instant Checkmate, similar records-heavy reports (one PeopleConnect suppression covers both)
- BeenVerified
- CheckPeople

The master opt-out list has the rest.
Frequently asked questions
Is the InfoTracer opt-out free?
Yes. It is an email: no account, no payment.
What happened to the InfoTracer opt-out form?
When we checked on October 16, 2026, infotracer.com/optout showed a "Your Privacy Choices" page instead of the old search-and-select form, and the "Do Not Sell or Share" page directs removal requests to privacy@infotracer.com. Older guides that describe a red "Remove Data" button are out of date.
Will this erase my court or arrest records?
No. Opting out removes your records from InfoTracer's products; the underlying government records stay in official systems, and other brokers may still sell them. Sweeping the whole broker landscape is the realistic goal, start with a scan.
Can I opt out family members?
Each person's record needs its own request with their own details. The simplest route is for each family member to send the email themselves, or for you to help them write it.
Does turning on Global Privacy Control remove my record?
No. InfoTracer says it honors Global Privacy Control as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of data collected from your browser, such as cookies. Removing your record from its search results is still the email request above.
