PeopleLooker's opt-out is free and sits on its own site at peoplelooker.com/svc/optout/search/optouts: search your name, select your record, and click the link in the verification email. It is a separate request from the BeenVerified opt-out, even though the two sites have the same parent company.
PeopleLooker is a paid people-search service. Its FAQ says members can search a name for addresses, phone numbers, relatives and court records, and can also search by address, phone number and email address. Its privacy policy says the site is provided by The Lifetime Value Co. LLC, acting through PeopleLooker LLC.
Checked against PeopleLooker's live People Search and Property Search opt-out pages, its FAQ, its privacy policy (last updated October 10, 2025) and its help-center article on removal on October 21, 2026. We read the pages; we did not submit the form.
How to remove yourself from PeopleLooker
- Go to peoplelooker.com/svc/optout/search/optouts. The footer link "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" opens the same page. You may see a short security check first; ours cleared on its own.
- 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.
- Select the record that is yours. If several people share your name, check the details shown before you choose.
- PeopleLooker sends you a verification email. Click the link in it to confirm the request.
- PeopleLooker then emails you to confirm that the record was opted out. Its help center says 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. PeopleLooker's help article still links to peoplelooker.com/f/optout/search, which returned a "page not found" error when we checked. Use the address in step 1.
PeopleLooker and BeenVerified: two requests
PeopleLooker and BeenVerified have the same parent. Each site's privacy policy says it is provided by The Lifetime Value Co. LLC, and California's data broker registry lists peoplelooker.com and beenverified.com on one entry, under BeenVerified, LLC and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
They do not share an opt-out. PeopleLooker's opt-out page and BeenVerified's both say the company can only remove records from its own site. Neither page says a request on one carries over to the other.
- If both sites list you, file on both. Our BeenVerified guide covers its form.
- If you have read that PeopleLooker's opt-out link sends you to BeenVerified, that is not what we found. On October 21, 2026, the footer link opened PeopleLooker's own copy of the form on peoplelooker.com.
Found more than one record?
PeopleLooker lets you remove one record through the online opt-out, which it says is to prevent fraud. For more than one, email privacy@peoplelooker.com and it says it will help.
PeopleLooker explains why extras happen. It updates its results from several public and private databases, and a new record with a different spelling, initials or address may not match your old one, so it can show up as a separate listing. Email the same address if a new record appears after an earlier opt-out.
People Search and Property Search are separate
The opt-out page links to a second form for Property Search at peoplelooker.com/svc/optout/search/optouts/property. You search a property address, select the record, and confirm by email in the same way. PeopleLooker says information about the property may still be available, but details about your identity and any link to the property are removed.
The People Search opt-out page also warns that your name might still show up in PeopleLooker's other search services after you opt out. Its FAQ adds that other information about you can appear when it can't be tied to the record you removed, and that you can opt that out too.
How long does it take?
PeopleLooker 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 again in the opt-out search. If an old result still shows, clear your browser history and search again.
If it doesn't work
- Email the privacy team. The opt-out page sends problems to privacy@peoplelooker.com. The FAQ also lists support@peoplelooker.com and 1-800-592-7153.
- Judges, prosecutors and law enforcement. People covered by Daniel's Law, and family members in the same household, can email privacy@peoplelooker.com instead of using the form. 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@peoplelooker.com with your full name and the information you want removed.
- Use an authorized agent. The privacy policy says an agent must email privacy@peoplelooker.com a letter you signed authorizing the request, or a power of attorney under California Probate Code sections 4000 to 4465. The request 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.
- California residents. The privacy policy says PeopleLooker aims to answer a verifiable request within 45 days, and up to 90 days if it tells you it needs more time. See the California Delete Act guide for the state's own deletion request.
Why your listing can come back
An opt-out removes the record you selected. PeopleLooker 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 move or change your phone number, and keep your confirmation emails.

Frequently asked questions
Is the PeopleLooker opt-out free?
Yes. The opt-out page says you never have to pay to remove your own record, and you don't need to be a member.
Does opting out of BeenVerified remove me from PeopleLooker?
Don't count on it. Both opt-out pages say the company can only remove records from its own site. Search both sites and file on each one that lists you.
What does PeopleLooker do with the email address I give it?
The opt-out page says it uses the address only to send the verification email, and won't sell it or use it for anything else without your consent.
PeopleLooker is one of several sites under one parent, several of them with their own opt-out. Check the sites we track in one pass with a free Defynta scan.
