How to Remove Your Data from RecordsFinderStep-by-Step Guide 2026
To remove your information from RecordsFinder, open its Your Privacy Choices page (recordsfinder.com/optout/) and follow "Do Not Sell / Share My Personal Information" to the removal form. Enter your first name, last name, state (required) and city, submit, then select the specific records that are yours; RecordsFinder says only the records you select are removed and each additional record must be submitted separately. You can also email privacy@recordsfinder.com. The current catalog does not record a routine government-ID requirement for RecordsFinder; that is not a promise that the live route will never ask for verification.

What is RecordsFinder?
Catalog context (not a live profile audit): RecordsFinder is a commercial public-records and people-search service. Its current pages say it aggregates public and private source data and offers searches by name, phone, email, address and more. A listing is a provider copy; use the current privacy route for provider-side requests, and do not assume a request changes an underlying court or government record. This guide covers the record listing described in the catalog for RecordsFinder; removing it here does not erase the original government, employer, court, property, or social source.
Catalog-described data types for RecordsFinder
- •Full name and aliases
- •Court, criminal and arrest records
- •Current and past addresses
- •Phone numbers
- •Property records
- •Relatives and associates
Why Your Data Appears on RecordsFinder
Catalog source context (not a complete provenance finding): The provider says its information comes from public and private sources. The source and matching fields for an individual listing are not established by the catalog alone; compare the exact result with your own details and submit only the minimum context the current route requests. The record can be matched through your full name with your city or state. Compare the listing with your own details, save the exact URL, and request removal only after confirming it is you.
Step-by-Step: How to Remove Your Data from RecordsFinder
The provider may offer a no-charge request route, but terms can change. Verify the result against the live listing after submitting.
Open the removal form
Go to recordsfinder.com/do-not-sell-share-my-personal-information (linked as "Do Not Sell / Share My Personal Information" from RecordsFinder's Your Privacy Choices page). RecordsFinder says you can use the form to have your information removed from its search results and opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
Enter your name and location
Enter your first name, last name, and state (required) and your city, then click "Submit".
Select the records that are yours
RecordsFinder says submitting the form removes only the specific records you select, so choose every record that is yours. If you have additional records on the site, each record must be submitted separately.
Keep the confirmation
For step 4, use the provider's current acknowledgement as a follow-up reference, then search recordsfinder.com in a private window and record whether the exact listing changed. A search-result change is separate from source deletion.
Use the email route if needed
RecordsFinder also accepts requests by email at privacy@recordsfinder.com. Covered persons (for example under the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act) and people asking about expunged records have separate instructions on the Your Privacy Choices page.
How Long Does RecordsFinder Removal Take?
This guide has no verified processing time for RecordsFinder. 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 RecordsFinder May Request
No routine ID requirement recorded
- •First name, last name, and state (required) and city
- •The specific records you select as yours
Safety note on ID uploads
The removal form does not ask for an ID. RecordsFinder says it may ask additional questions to confirm the information associated with you; answer only what is needed.

What to Do If RecordsFinder Removal Fails
If the standard opt-out process does not work, follow these escalation steps in order:
If your RecordsFinder listing reappears, preserve the original and new source URLs, compare the matching fields, and use the provider's current route for a follow-up request. A new listing does not by itself prove that the original request failed.
If the opt-out form is broken or the link has moved, email privacy@recordsfinder.com with the subject "Do Not Sell / Delete: Personal Information" and a clear statement of your request plus your listing URL.
If RecordsFinder 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
The opt-out above is intended for RecordsFinder specifically. Because providers operate independently, a broader cleanup usually requires separate review and requests for other sites; the time and fields vary by provider.

RecordsFinder says it will confirm removal of the selected records, and asks you to contact privacy@recordsfinder.com if a requested confirmation has not arrived after the provider's current instructions. Its Privacy Choices page says it responds to rights requests after the provider's current instructions or tells you if more time is needed.
No, only the broker's republished copy. Court records themselves are governed by the courts.
The catalog records a public request route for RecordsFinder, but confirm the current provider terms before submitting. A service fee, verification requirement, or jurisdictional rule can differ from the underlying provider request; do not pay an intermediary merely to access a route that the provider offers directly.
It can. RecordsFinder may receive a new matching record from public or commercial sources, so a new record listing can be generated after a source change. A follow-up request may address the new listing, but a reappearance does not by itself prove that the first request failed.
Know the laws behind this request
A request to RecordsFinder may involve a privacy law, provider policy, or no statutory route depending on your location and the data. These explainers are starting points; read the relevant legal context, then check the current law, scope, exemptions, and provider role before citing one.
