NeighborWho Opt-Out: How to Remove Yourself (2026 Guide)

NeighborWho has two free opt-outs on its own site: people search and property records. Each ends with an email link and removes one record online.

NeighborWho has two free opt-outs, both on neighborwho.com: a People Search opt-out at neighborwho.com/svc/optout/search/optouts, where you search your name, and a Property Search opt-out at neighborwho.com/svc/optout/search/optouts/property, where you search your address. Each one ends with a link in a verification email. If you show up in both, do both.

NeighborWho is a property and owner search site. Its footer says its mission is to help people find in-depth information about properties and property owners. Its privacy policy says the site is provided by The Lifetime Value Co. LLC, acting through NeighborWho LLC, and that its search data comes from third-party data providers. That data can include names, past and current addresses, phone numbers, possible relatives, associates and neighbors, and real estate ownership details, transaction history and property addresses.

Checked against NeighborWho's live People Search and Property Search opt-out pages, its Privacy FAQs, its contact page and its privacy policy (last updated October 10, 2025) on October 23, 2026. We read the pages; we did not submit either form.

How to remove your name from NeighborWho's people search

  1. Go to neighborwho.com/svc/optout/search/optouts. The footer link "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" opens the same page. A short automatic security check may show first; when we checked, it finished by itself after a few seconds and the form loaded.
  2. The page is headed "Looking To Opt-Out of Our People Search?" Enter your first name and last name, choose your state (or leave it on All), and click Search.
  3. Select the record that is yours. If several people share your name, check the details shown before you choose.
  4. NeighborWho sends you a verification email. Click the link in it to confirm the request.
  5. NeighborWho then emails you to confirm that the record was opted out. Its Privacy FAQs say it also tells its data partners not to return that record in future People Search results.

We stopped at the search form, so we did not see the screens after it. Follow what the page shows.

How to remove your name from a property record

  1. On the same page, click the Property Search link, or go to neighborwho.com/svc/optout/search/optouts/property. The page is headed "Looking To Opt-Out of Our Property Search?"
  2. Enter the property address and click Search.
  3. Select the record and follow the emails NeighborWho sends.

This opt-out may leave the house on NeighborWho. NeighborWho says information about the property may still be available, but details about your identity and any association to the property are removed. The property itself may stay listed; what comes off is your name and your link to it.

NeighborWho's Privacy FAQs still say it offers an opt-out only for People Search. The Property Search form was live when we checked on October 23, 2026, so use it.

Both opt-out pages also say your name might still show up in NeighborWho's other search services after you opt out of one of them. That is why it pays to run both forms.

NeighborWho and BeenVerified are separate requests

NeighborWho's privacy policy names The Lifetime Value Co. LLC, the same parent company our BeenVerified, PeopleLooker and Ownerly guides name, and California's data broker registry lists neighborwho.com on the BeenVerified, LLC entry.

Both NeighborWho opt-out pages say it can only remove records from its own site, and neither says a request there carries over to BeenVerified. If you have read that a BeenVerified opt-out also clears NeighborWho, don't count on it. On October 23, 2026, NeighborWho's footer and Privacy FAQs both linked to the form on neighborwho.com. File on each site that lists you.

Found more than one record?

Each form lets you remove one record online, which NeighborWho says is to prevent fraud. For more, email privacy@neighborwho.com and it says it will help. The same address handles a new record that shows up after an earlier opt-out.

NeighborWho says it updates its results from several public and private databases. A new record with a different spelling, initials or address may not match your old one, so it can appear as a separate listing.

How long does it take?

NeighborWho says that once you get its confirmation email, the change shows the next time its servers refresh, in most cases within 24 hours. To check, wait about a day and search your name (or your address, for the property form) again in the opt-out search. If an old result still shows, clear your browser history and search again.

For requests under California privacy law, the privacy policy says NeighborWho will try to answer a verifiable request within 45 days, and up to 90 days if it tells you in writing that it needs more time.

If it doesn't work

  • Email the privacy team. The opt-out pages send extra records, new records and special cases to privacy@neighborwho.com. The contact page also lists support@neighborwho.com, the toll-free number 1-866-202-7417 and a 24-hour AI chat.
  • Use the contact form or the mail. The contact form has a "Do Not Sell My Info" topic. The mailing address is NeighborWho, MSC - 175605, P.O. Box 105168, Atlanta, GA 30348-5168.
  • Judges, prosecutors and law enforcement. People covered by Daniel's Law, and family members in the same household, can email privacy@neighborwho.com instead of using the forms. Include a screenshot of or link to your record, or your full name, date of birth, city and state, and email address.
  • Outside the US. Email privacy@neighborwho.com with your full name and the information you want removed.
  • Use an authorized agent. The privacy policy says an agent must email privacy@neighborwho.com a letter you signed authorizing the request, or a power of attorney under California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465. Deletion and right-to-know requests from an agent must include your first, middle (if any) and last name, a valid email address, your age and your address. Checking the agent's authority may add time.
  • Appeal. Residents of the states the privacy policy lists, among them Colorado, Connecticut, New Jersey, Texas and Virginia, can appeal a denied request by emailing privacy@neighborwho.com with their state and any documents they have.
  • California residents. See the California Delete Act guide for the state's own deletion request.
  • The page still shows in Google. See how to remove your home address from Google search results.

Why your listing can come back

An opt-out removes the record you selected. NeighborWho says a data partner can send it a new record about you that it can't match to the old one, and that record can appear as a new listing. Check again after you buy, sell or move, and keep your confirmation emails.

NeighborWho isn't one of the people-search sites in Defynta's free scan, and Defynta doesn't file removals with it: this one is do-it-yourself. The scan looks you up on the sites we track and gives you a direct link to check each one.

Frequently asked questions

Is the NeighborWho opt-out free?

Yes. Both opt-out pages say you never have to pay to remove your own record, and you don't need to be a member.

Will the opt-out remove my house from NeighborWho?

Not necessarily. NeighborWho says information about the property may still be available after a Property Search opt-out. What it removes is your identity and your association with the property.

Does opting out of BeenVerified remove me from NeighborWho?

Don't count on it. NeighborWho's opt-out pages say it can only remove records from its own site. File on each site that lists you.

What does NeighborWho do with the email address I give it?

The opt-out pages say it uses the address only to send the verification email, and won't sell it or use it for anything else without your consent.
