Request Removal NowWhat is CocoFinder?
CocoFinder.com is a people-search site that aggregates personal information from public records, social media, and third-party data sources. A typical CocoFinder profile includes your full name, current and past addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, relatives, and in some cases social media profiles and photos. CocoFinder is primarily ad-supported and shows this data to anyone who searches your name, no account or subscription required.
Step-by-step: How to remove yourself from CocoFinder
- Step 1: Find your profile. Go to cocofinder.com in incognito mode and search your name and state. Copy the URL of any profile that appears.
- Step 2: Use the opt-out form. CocoFinder provides a self-serve opt-out process. Navigate to their opt-out page (typically accessible from the profile page or footer) and paste your listing URL. Enter your email address and submit.
- Step 3: Verify the removal request. Check your email for a confirmation message from CocoFinder. Click the verification link to process the removal, without this step the request is not finalized.
💡 Tip: CocoFinder sources from many of the same public-record feeds as USPhoneBook and FastPeopleSearch. After removing your CocoFinder listing, submit opt-outs to those sites as well to prevent your data from simply moving between sources.
- Step 4: Submit a formal CCPA request if the standard process fails. If your profile reappears or the opt-out form does not work, email CocoFinder's privacy team citing California Civil Code § 1798.105 (CCPA deletion right). They are legally required to respond within 45 days.

What to do if removal fails
If your CocoFinder profile is not removed within the stated timeframe, send a follow-up email citing the applicable privacy law and deadline. Persistent non-compliance can be reported to the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) at cppa.ca.gov or the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
