How to Remove Your Data from PeopleLookerStep-by-Step Guide 2026
To remove a PeopleLooker profile, open the provider's current opt-out route, locate the matching listing, complete any current verification, and save the acknowledgement. A paid subscription is separate: cancel billing through the provider's current account or support route, then use the opt-out route for a public listing. The current catalog does not record a routine government-ID requirement for PeopleLooker; that is not a promise that the live route will never ask for verification. A BeenVerified sister site, removal here does not automatically remove you from BeenVerified.
Cancelling a paid PeopleLooker account vs. removing your listing
Log in to your PeopleLooker account, click "Contact Us" in the footer, and choose the "Cancel My Account" option, or email support@peoplelooker.com with your name and your 9-digit member ID (shown on the right side of your dashboard and in your welcome email). Canceling your subscription only stops billing, your public listing stays in PeopleLooker's search results until you complete the separate free opt-out described above.
Free exposure check
Eight yes/no questions rate which broker categories are likely to hold a record on you, and name the brokers to remove first. No name or email needed.
Check my exposure
Your record may be duplicated across related databases or sister sites like BeenVerified, Spokeo, Whitepages, Intelius. Removing your data from PeopleLooker does not prove that these other properties changed.

What is PeopleLooker?
PeopleLooker is a people-search and background-check service operated by The Lifetime Value Co. (New York, NY), the same parent company that operates BeenVerified, NeighborWho, Ownerly, and several other data broker brands. PeopleLooker compiles contact information, address history, relatives, and public records into consumer reports. Because it shares infrastructure with BeenVerified, a removal from PeopleLooker alone does not clear your record from BeenVerified or the other sister sites.

Why Your Data Appears on PeopleLooker

Step-by-Step: How to Remove Your Data from PeopleLooker
The provider may offer a no-charge request route, but terms can change. Verify the result against the live listing after submitting.
Go to the PeopleLooker opt-out page
Navigate to peoplelooker.com/svc/optout/search/optouts. Enter your first name, last name, and state, then click Search.
Find and select your record
Select the record you want opted out and enter your email address when asked. PeopleLooker says it uses that address only to send the verification email.
Confirm via email
PeopleLooker sends a verification email; click its link to confirm the request. After you verify, PeopleLooker emails you a confirmation that the selected record has been opted out.
Opt out of sister sites separately
PeopleLooker's opt-out covers its own People Search results. Related people-search sites run their own opt-out databases: BeenVerified (beenverified.com/svc/optout/search/optouts), NeighborWho (neighborwho.com/svc/optout/search/optouts), and Ownerly (ownerly.com/svc/optout/search/optouts). Search each one separately.
How Long Does PeopleLooker Removal Take?
This guide has no verified processing time for PeopleLooker. Keep the confirmation or acknowledgement from the request, then search for the exact listing again after the route's last step to see whether it changed.
What Documents PeopleLooker May Request
No routine ID requirement recorded
- •First name, last name, and state (to search the opt-out database)
- •An email address for the verification link
Safety note on ID uploads
PeopleLooker's automated opt-out uses a name-and-state search plus email verification, not an ID upload. Covered persons under New Jersey's Daniel's Law can instead email privacy@peoplelooker.com with a link or screenshot of the record (or name, date of birth, city, state, and email).

What to Do If PeopleLooker Removal Fails
If the standard opt-out process does not work, follow these escalation steps in order:
Re-submit via peoplelooker.com/svc/optout/search/optouts.
If the record still appears or the verification email never arrives, email privacy@peoplelooker.com, the address PeopleLooker publishes for opt-out questions and privacy requests.
If PeopleLooker does not respond within the period stated by its current notice or the law that applies to you, keep the request and any acknowledgement, then use the relevant regulator or complaint channel.
Alternative Options
Manual removal
PeopleLooker says you do not have to be a member or pay to remove your own record. Related people-search sites such as BeenVerified, NeighborWho, and Ownerly each run their own opt-out, so check them separately.

No universal processing window is established here for PeopleLooker. Follow the provider's current instructions, keep the request evidence, and verify the exact listing yourself.
