What is RecordsFinder?
RecordsFinder is a public-records search engine that compiles court records, contact details, property data and relatives into reports searchable by name, phone number or address. It presents itself as a records portal, but it is a private broker that republishes copies of public records bundled with commercial data and sells lookups. Its reports can surface your criminal and court history next to your home address and phone number. This guide covers the property listing held by RecordsFinder; removing it here does not erase the original government, employer, court, property, or social source.
Data RecordsFinder collects about you
- •Full name and aliases
- •Court, criminal and arrest records
- •Current and past addresses
- •Phone numbers
- •Property records
- •Relatives and associates
- •Full name and known aliases
- •Current and past home addresses
- •Phone numbers (landline and mobile)
- •Email addresses
- •Age and approximate date of birth
- •Relatives, household members and associates
Why Your Data Appears on RecordsFinder
RecordsFinder aggregates government public-record feeds and commercial data into an automatically generated profile keyed to your name. Because new court, property and voter records are imported continuously, a removed listing can be regenerated when a fresh record appears. The record can be matched through your name and any address you own or have lived at. 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 opt-out process is free. Estimated time: 24–48 hours for removal to take effect after completing these steps.
Confirm what RecordsFinder holds on you
Search recordsfinder.com for your name and any address you own or have lived at. Note the URL of any property 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 privacy@recordsfinder.com
Email privacy@recordsfinder.com with the subject "Privacy / Do Not Sell: Personal Information Removal Request". State clearly: "Remove my records from RecordsFinder." Cite your rights under the CCPA/CPRA and your state privacy law, and ask RecordsFinder 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 property listing URL so RecordsFinder 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 RecordsFinder 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
RecordsFinder states requests take 24–48 hours. If you have not had confirmation by the end of that window, reply on the same thread asking for a status update. Re-check recordsfinder.com once the change is confirmed.
How Long Does RecordsFinder Removal Take?
What Documents RecordsFinder 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 RecordsFinder Removal Fails
If the standard opt-out process does not work, follow these escalation steps in order:
If your RecordsFinder 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 privacy@recordsfinder.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 RecordsFinder 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
🔧 Manual removal (free)
