What is Unmask?
Unmask is a background-check and reverse-lookup service that compiles contact details, address history, relatives, social profiles and public records into reports searchable by name, phone, email or address. Its reverse-lookup tools let someone start from a single phone number or email address and unmask the person behind it, which makes it popular for skip-tracing and tracking people down. This guide covers the listing held by Unmask; removing it here does not erase the original government, employer, court, property, or social source.
Data Unmask collects about you
- •Full name and aliases
- •Current and past addresses
- •Phone numbers
- •Email addresses
- •Relatives, associates and roommates
- •Social media and online profiles
- •Court and public records
- •Full name and known aliases
- •Current and past home addresses
- •Phone numbers (landline and mobile)
- •Age and approximate date of birth
- •Relatives, household members and associates
Why Your Data Appears on Unmask
Unmask aggregates public records, social media and commercial data into an automatically generated profile keyed to your identity. The same record powers its reverse-phone, reverse-email and reverse-address tools, so opting out suppresses your data across all of them at once. The record can be matched through your full name together 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.
Where Unmask gets your data
- →Voter registration records
- →Property tax and deed records
- →Court and other public records
- →USPS National Change of Address (NCOA)
- →Marketing and subscription lists
- →Purchases from other data brokers
Step-by-Step: How to Remove Your Data from Unmask
The opt-out process is free. Estimated time: 5–7 days for removal to take effect after completing these steps.
Find your listing on Unmask
Open unmask.com in a private/incognito window and search your full name together with your city or state. Unmask often shows several listings if you have lived at more than one address: identify each listing that is actually you before you start.
Copy the exact listing URL
Open your listing and copy the full URL from the address bar. Unmask's opt-out form matches on the exact listing, so the precise URL for each one is what you paste in.
Open the opt-out / suppression page
Go to https://www.unmask.com/opt-out. If that link has moved, scroll to the unmask.com footer and look for "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information", "Opt Out", "Privacy" or "Suppress My Listing": every broker operating in the US is required to expose one. Paste your listing URL into the form.
Confirm by email and submit
Unmask emails you a confirmation link to prove the request is yours. Use a real inbox you control and click the link: the removal is not queued until you confirm, and you do not need to create an account.
Re-check and repeat for every listing
Removals here typically take 5–7 days. After that window, search unmask.com again in a private window. Submit a separate request for each remaining listing, and use Google's "Remove Outdated Content" tool if a cached copy lingers in search results.
How Long Does Unmask Removal Take?
What Documents Unmask 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 Unmask Removal Fails
If the standard opt-out process does not work, follow these escalation steps in order:
If your Unmask 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 opt-out form is broken or the link has moved, email contact@unmask.com with the subject "Do Not Sell / Delete: Personal Information" and a clear statement of your request plus your listing URL.
If Unmask 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)
The opt-out above is free and works for Unmask specifically. The catch is that Unmask is only one of 500+ data brokers, to actually disappear you would repeat a similar process for each site, which is typically 20–40 hours of research and follow-up.
