Step-by-Step: How to Remove Your Data from PeekYou
The opt-out process is free. Estimated time: 14–30 days for removal to take effect after completing these steps.
Confirm what PeekYou holds on you
Search peekyou.com for your full name together with your city or state. Note the URL of any listing and the exact identifiers shown, so your request is specific enough to action without you having to volunteer extra data.
Write your removal email to info@peekyou.com
Email info@peekyou.com with the subject "Privacy / Do Not Sell: Personal Information Removal Request". State clearly: "Remove my listing from PeekYou." Cite your rights under the CCPA/CPRA and your state privacy law, and ask PeekYou to both delete your record and suppress future re-listing.
Include just enough to be matched, and no more
Give your full name, city/state and any listing URL so PeekYou can locate your record. Only add a phone or email if it is already the identifier they index. Do not volunteer your SSN or a full ID.
Request written confirmation
Ask PeekYou to reply in writing once your data is removed, and to confirm the date. Keep the email thread: it is your evidence if you later need to escalate to a regulator.
Follow up and verify
PeekYou states requests take 14–30 days. If you have not had confirmation by the end of that window, reply on the same thread asking for a status update. Re-check peekyou.com once the change is confirmed.
How Long Does PeekYou Removal Take?
What Documents PeekYou May Request
No government ID required
- •The listing URL or the exact data point they index
- •An email address for the confirmation link
⚠️ Safety note on ID uploads
You should not need to upload an ID for a standard people-search opt-out here. If they ask for one, redact everything except your name and address, and never send your Social Security number.
What to Do If PeekYou Removal Fails
If the standard opt-out process does not work, follow these escalation steps in order:
If your PeekYou listing reappears within 30–60 days, simply re-submit the opt-out. Re-listing after a new public record is normal and does not mean your first request failed.
If the email goes unanswered, re-send to info@peekyou.com and CC any "privacy" or "legal" alias on the site with the subject "Do Not Sell / Delete: Personal Information" and a clear statement of your request plus your listing URL.
If PeekYou still does not comply within 45 days, file a complaint with your state Attorney General and the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov. California residents can additionally report non-compliance to the CPPA at cppa.ca.gov.
Alternative Options
