How to remove your personal info from ClustrMaps

What is ClustrMaps?

ClustrMaps (clustrmaps.com) is a public records aggregator and people-search directory that compiles home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and relatives into visual neighborhood maps. Unlike typical text-based databases, ClustrMaps maps out your exact residence and overlays it with listings of your neighbors, making it highly invasive for physical location privacy. ClustrMaps also licenses this structured data to commercial marketing lists.

Why your data appears on ClustrMaps

ClustrMaps gathers information from public sources, including county property deeds, voter registration rolls, business filings, and utility bills. When you purchase a home or register to vote, ClustrMaps pulls that data and clusters it geographically to build neighborhood profiles.

Step-by-step: How to remove yourself from ClustrMaps

1. Step 1: Search for your listing. Go to clustrmaps.com in a private window. Search your full name and state/city. Click on your profile card to view the details page.
2. Step 2: Copy your profile URL. Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar (it typically looks like clustrmaps.com/person/John-Smith-abc123). You will need this URL to submit the opt-out.
3. Step 3: Go to the ClustrMaps opt-out page. Navigate to the official suppression page at clustrmaps.com/bl/opt-out.
4. Step 4: Submit the removal form. Fill out the form with your name, email address, physical address, and the profile URL you copied in Step 2. Select the specific data fields you wish to remove and apply the deletion request.
5. Step 5: Alternative email opt-out. If the form is unavailable or fails to process, you can email ClustrMaps support directly at support@clustrmaps.com. Include your name, address, listing URL, and state of residence. Cite CCPA § 1798.105 if you are in the US, or GDPR Article 17 if you are in the EU/UK.
6. Step 6: Confirm removal and de-index. Check if the profile is removed after 7–14 days. Once it is offline, submit the URL to Google's Outdated Content Removal tool to clear it from search results immediately.
