What is USPhoneBook?
USPhoneBook.com is a free reverse-phone and people-search directory operated by Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC (Sacramento, California). It displays names, addresses, phone numbers, and relative connections. The same operator runs 9 sibling sites: FastPeopleSearch.com, CyberBackgroundChecks.com, AdvancedBackgroundChecks.com, FastBackgroundCheck.com, SmartBackgroundChecks.com, SearchPeopleFree.com, PeopleSearchNow.com, Phonebooks.com, and USA-People-Search.com. Removing yourself from USPhoneBook alone does not clear the sibling sites, each requires a separate request or you can target the parent LLC in one email.
Step-by-step: How to remove yourself from USPhoneBook
- Step 1: Find your listing on USPhoneBook. Go to usphonebook.com in an incognito window. Search your name and state. Note all listings that match your information.
- Step 2: Go to the opt-out page. Navigate to usphonebook.com/opt-out. No account or payment required.
- Step 3: Submit your removal request. Search for your record on the opt-out page. Select your listing and enter your email address for verification. Click submit.
💡 Tip: After removing from USPhoneBook, also submit to FastPeopleSearch (fastpeoplesearch.com/removal) and CyberBackgroundChecks (cyberbackgroundchecks.com/removal), they share the same data but each needs a separate form.
- Step 4: Verify via email. Click the verification link in the confirmation email sent to your address. The removal is not processed until you verify.
- Step 5: Wait 24–48 hours and confirm. USPhoneBook is one of the faster removals. Search your name in an incognito window after 48 hours to confirm the listing is gone.

What to do if removal fails
Email the parent operator at the DSAR URL disclosed in the California registry filing, citing California Civil Code § 1798.105. The operator (Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC) reported 0 deletion requests in 2024, suggesting direct emails are rarely sent and therefore more likely to get individual attention.
