RecordsFinder looks like a stand-alone public-records search site. It isn't: its footer says RecordsFinder.com is a service of InfoPay, Inc., the company behind InfoTracer and PropertyChecker. Its terms and privacy policy name a second owner too, saying the site is provided and wholly owned by InfoPay, Inc. and Globicom.
The removal request is a short form. RecordsFinder's "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" page says that if you want your information removed from its search results, you can submit the form on that page or send your request to privacy@recordsfinder.com. Its FAQ says information is typically removed within 24-48 hours, with an email confirmation once it's done.
Checked on November 5, 2026: RecordsFinder's home page, its "Your Privacy Choices" page, its Do Not Sell or Share page and form, its FAQ, contact page, privacy policy (effective August 19, 2026) and terms of service (effective February 17, 2026); and California's data broker registry. The separate privacy-rights request form did not load for us. We read the pages; we did not search for anyone or submit anything.
What is RecordsFinder?
Its home page offers searches by name, phone, email, address, user ID, VIN and license plate, and says RecordsFinder.com aggregates over two billion public records. It says a search can turn up someone's current and past addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. Its FAQ lists background reports, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, criminal and traffic records, court records and vehicle reports, where available.
The FAQ says the data comes from public agencies and third-party providers; the privacy policy says government entities, commercial data providers and websites. The home page says search reports are only generated with the purchase of the report or account registration.
Before you start
- List your name variations and past cities. The FAQ says RecordsFinder may hold more than one record for you, for example from name variations or past addresses.
- Send only what the form asks for. That's your first name, last name and state, and a city if you want to narrow it.
- Plan more than one request. The FAQ says opting out removes your information from RecordsFinder's database only. InfoTracer and PropertyChecker each need their own request.
How to remove yourself from RecordsFinder, step by step
Step 1: Open the Do Not Sell or Share page
Go to recordsfinder.com/do-not-sell-share-my-personal-information. The opt-out address, recordsfinder.com/optout, opens a page called "Your Privacy Choices" with no removal form on it. That page links to the Do Not Sell or Share page, and so does the site's footer.
Step 2: Fill in the form
The form is headed "Request to Opt-Out of the Sale and/or Sharing of Your Personal Information." It asks for your first name, last name and state (there is an "All States" option), all three required, plus an optional city. Enter them as your record shows them and press Submit.
Step 3: Select every record that is you
A note under the form says submitting it removes only the specific records you select, that each additional record must be submitted separately, and that you should review all results associated with your name. The FAQ says something different: that you can select all relevant records during the opt-out process and remove them in one request. We didn't submit the form, so we haven't seen the selection screen. Either way, make sure every record that is you is covered, and run the form again for any you missed.
The FAQ says you'll get an email confirmation, but the form's first step asks for no email address. We can't say which later screen asks for one.
Step 4 (instead): email privacy@recordsfinder.com
The Do Not Sell or Share page offers email as the alternative to the form. It doesn't list what to include, so use the form's fields as a guide. A suggested wording:
To: privacy@recordsfinder.com
Subject: Remove my information from your search results
Please remove my information from RecordsFinder'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 it has been removed.
Step 5: Watch for the confirmation
The FAQ says you'll receive an email confirmation once removal is complete, and that if it doesn't arrive you should check your spam folder or contact the Compliance Team (see below). The note under the form says that if you chose to receive a confirmation and haven't had it within 15 days, you should write to privacy@recordsfinder.com.
Special cases RecordsFinder handles by email
- Covered persons. The Your Privacy Choices page cites the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act and relevant federal and state laws. It includes current, former or retired judges, prosecutors and law enforcement members, and their immediate family members living in the same household. Email privacy@recordsfinder.com with the subject line "Attention Covered Person Removal Request", with your complete name, residence and email address, and your status as a covered person.
- Expunged or sealed records. The same page says records that were expunged, sealed or otherwise restricted by a court order may still appear, because RecordsFinder aggregates publicly available sources. Email privacy@recordsfinder.com with the subject line "Attention Expungement Records". It says it will review your inquiry and respond in accordance with applicable law.
- Other privacy rights. Access, correction, deletion, portability and the other rights the page lists go through a separate request form linked from Your Privacy Choices. The page says these rights may apply in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia, and that RecordsFinder will respond within 45 days or tell you if it needs more time. That form did not load for us, so we can't list its fields.
How long does removal take?
The FAQ says information is typically removed within 24-48 hours after you submit your request, and that you'll receive an email confirmation once the process is complete. The other clocks are the 15 days after which you should chase a confirmation you asked for, and 45 days for formal privacy-rights requests. Search engines can keep showing an old copy of a removed page for longer; see how to remove your home address from Google search results.
What the opt-out doesn't cover
- Other sites, InfoPay's included. The FAQ says opting out only removes your information from RecordsFinder's database, and that you'll need to send an opt-out request to each other site individually.
- The original records. RecordsFinder's terms say its information is sourced from records made publicly available by state and local offices, agencies or departments. An opt-out doesn't change those records.
- Deletion from the database. The FAQ says an opt-out means your details no longer appear in search results on RecordsFinder, and describes a Deletion Request as asking for removal of your personal information from its database. Deletion is one of the rights that go through the separate request form.
If it doesn't work
- Contact the Compliance Team. The FAQ gives privacy@recordsfinder.com or 844-777-0503, 8 am to 6 pm Eastern, 7 days a week, for problems with the opt-out.
- Appeal. The Your Privacy Choices page says you can appeal a denied request by email to privacy@recordsfinder.com. The privacy policy says that if your appeal is denied, you may contact the Attorney General or another authority.
- Customer support. RecordsFinder's pages give 800-433-0567, and its FAQ and terms give support@recordsfinder.com. Its contact form has a "Privacy Issues" subject.
- California residents. RecordsFinder appears twice on California's data broker registry (see below), so it is one of the brokers the state's DROP deletion request reaches. See the California Delete Act guide.
Why your listing can come back
RecordsFinder's FAQ says that if your personal information is republished in public records or other sources it uses in a new record, it may reappear in its database, and that you can then submit another opt-out request. It recommends checking your status yearly. We'd check every few months, and again after a move, since a new address can create a new record that your old request doesn't cover.
RecordsFinder isn't one of the sites in Defynta's free scan, and Defynta doesn't file requests with it: this one is do-it-yourself.
Who runs RecordsFinder. The footer says RecordsFinder.com is a service of InfoPay, Inc., and the terms and privacy policy say it is provided and wholly owned by InfoPay, Inc. and Globicom. Both give an address of 1070 Montgomery Rd, Altamonte Springs, FL 32714. California's data broker registry lists InfoPay, Inc, of Boston, with thirteen websites, among them recordsfinder.com, infotracer.com and propertychecker.com. It also has a separate entry for Globicom Inc, doing business as Records Finder Inc, with recordsfinder.com and peoplepublicrecords.org. Peoplepublicrecords.org did not load for us on November 5, 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Is the RecordsFinder opt-out free?
None of the RecordsFinder pages we read mention a fee for opting out, and the form page we read asked for no account or login.
Who owns RecordsFinder?
InfoPay, Inc., by its footer, which also runs InfoTracer and PropertyChecker. Its terms and privacy policy name Globicom as a co-owner, and California's registry has entries for both companies listing recordsfinder.com.
Does opting out of RecordsFinder remove me from InfoTracer?
No, by RecordsFinder's FAQ, which says an opt-out only removes your information from its own database and that other sites need their own requests. See our InfoTracer guide.
Can I opt out a family member?
The FAQ says yes: you give their details to locate the record and verify that they gave you permission, and in some cases verify your relationship, for example as a parent, guardian or legal representative. For formal privacy requests, the privacy policy says only you or your authorized agent may make a request, and that RecordsFinder may require written permission for the agent and ask you to verify your own identity directly.
Does turning on Global Privacy Control remove my record?
RecordsFinder doesn't say it does. Its Your Privacy Choices page says it treats a Global Privacy Control signal as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and a rejection of non-necessary cookies. Nothing we read says that takes your record out of its search results, so use the form or email above.
RecordsFinder is one of several InfoPay sites, and each takes its own request. See which of the sites we track list you with a free Defynta scan.
