How to Remove Your Data from TruthFinderStep-by-Step Guide 2026
TruthFinder's opt-out link (truthfinder.com/opt-out) now redirects to the PeopleConnect Suppression Center: enter your email, agree to the terms, click the link in the verification email, then confirm your identity and suppress your report. PeopleConnect says one suppression covers name searches on its family of sites, including TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, Intelius, and USSearch. Paid-account cancellation and email preferences are separate actions. The current catalog does not record a routine government-ID requirement for TruthFinder; that is not a promise that the live route will never ask for verification. A PeopleConnect brand whose opt-out runs through the shared PeopleConnect Suppression Center.
Cancelling a paid TruthFinder account vs. removing your listing
TruthFinder's contact page says there are two ways to cancel: online, or by phone through Member Care at (855) 921-3711 (Mon-Fri, 7am-4pm PT). Canceling your paid membership does not remove your own listing from TruthFinder's search results; use the PeopleConnect suppression opt-out described above for that.
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 Intelius, Instant Checkmate, Spokeo, BeenVerified. Removing your data from TruthFinder does not prove that these other properties changed.

Step-by-Step: How to Remove Your Data from TruthFinder
The provider may offer a no-charge request route, but terms can change. Verify the result against the live listing after submitting.
Open TruthFinder's opt-out link
Go to truthfinder.com/opt-out. It redirects to the PeopleConnect Suppression Center (suppression.peopleconnect.us), the tool TruthFinder's help center links for suppressing your public data. There is no name-and-state search or "Remove This Record" button on this route any more.
Enter your email and agree to the terms
In the PeopleConnect Suppression Center, enter your email address, tick the box agreeing to its Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and to transactional emails about the tool, and click "Continue". PeopleConnect says the address is used only to process the suppression request.
Click the link in the verification email
PeopleConnect sends a verification email with a link to proceed. Click it to continue; check spam or promotions folders if it does not arrive.
Confirm your identity and suppress your report
Follow the Suppression Center's on-screen steps to find and suppress your background report. Intelius, which links the same tool, says you confirm your identity with your full name, date of birth, and a phone or email address that you can verify; no ID upload is described.
Know what one suppression covers
PeopleConnect says the Suppression Tool manages the display of your background report in name searches on all people-search sites in the PeopleConnect family, including TruthFinder.com, InstantCheckmate.com, Intelius.com, and USSearch.com. It is a free tool; PeopleConnect also says your details may still appear in phone, address, or email reports searched by those details, or on registered sex offender lists, and that suppression does not change the original third-party sources.
Re-check a TruthFinder name search
After the Suppression Center confirms the request, search your name on TruthFinder in a private browser window and record whether your report still appears. PeopleConnect asks you to contact it if Public Data about you still appears after you have used the Suppression Tool; its published privacy address is privacy@peopleconnect.us.
How Long Does TruthFinder Removal Take?
This guide has no verified processing time for TruthFinder. 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 TruthFinder May Request
No routine ID requirement recorded
Safety note on ID uploads
The PeopleConnect suppression route verifies your email and then your identity (Intelius, which links the same tool, lists full name, date of birth, and a verifiable phone or email); it does not describe an ID upload. Deleting TruthFinder user data is a separate privacy-center request, and PeopleConnect says deleting user data also deletes any suppressions tied to it.
