Where to Start
New to this? Read the full guide on how to opt out of data brokers for the complete step-by-step process. Otherwise, with 1000+ DIY-ready brokers on this list and 1,100+ tracked overall, start where it matters most. The five highest-traffic people-search sites account for the majority of your public exposure: Whitepages, Spokeo, BeenVerified, TruePeopleSearch, and Nuwber. Opt out of those first, each takes under 5 minutes, then work through the rest in the categories below. Where applicable, each draft can reference a relevant privacy right. Eligibility, exemptions, and response deadlines vary by jurisdiction and provider, so review the details and send each request from your own inbox.
Want to automate the whole process?
Instead of opening each of the 1000+ catalog records manually, use the OfflistMe wizard to generate user-reviewed request drafts in provider-safe batches. Free to start.
California residents: the DROP platform launched in January 2026
California's Delete Request and Opt-Out Platform (DROP) lets you file a single deletion request to every CA-registered data broker for free. It covers only the brokers registered with the CPPA. OfflistMe tracks 1,100+ unique broker domains and generates opt-out drafts for the 1000+ DIY-ready catalog, including many that operate nationally but are not in the CA registry, and works for residents of all 50 states. The two tools are complementary, use DROP for CA-registered brokers and OfflistMe for the rest.
