What is ZabaSearch?

ZabaSearch is a free people-search engine operated by Intelius, LLC (San Diego, California), a brand of PeopleConnect, Inc. It is one of 21 consumer properties in the Intelius / PeopleConnect network, alongside US Search, PeopleFinder.com, Addresses.com, PublicRecords.com, and CriminalRecords.com. Because all 21 sites share the same data back-end, targeting ZabaSearch in isolation will not clear your record from the sibling properties, use the PeopleConnect parent portal instead.

Why your data appears on ZabaSearch

ZabaSearch is specifically known for free landline and address lookup data sourced from traditional phone directory records, property records, and voter rolls. All data is processed through Intelius's shared pipeline, which reported 32,339 consumer deletion requests in 2024.

Step-by-step: How to remove yourself from ZabaSearch

Step 1: Use the PeopleConnect suppression portal. Navigate to suppression.peopleconnect.us. This is the most efficient path, a single submission removes your record from ZabaSearch and all 20 other PeopleConnect properties simultaneously.
💡 Tip: Going directly to zabasearch.com and trying to find an opt-out link will redirect you to the PeopleConnect portal anyway, skip that step and go directly to suppression.peopleconnect.us.
Step 2: Create a free account. Register with an email address and verify it. Log in to the suppression portal.
Step 3: Search for your records. Enter your name and state. The portal displays all matching records across the entire PeopleConnect network, not just ZabaSearch.
Step 4: Select and remove each record. Click "Remove" next to each listing that matches your information. Submit the removal request.
Step 5: Wait 7 business days. PeopleConnect processes removals within 7 business days. After that, verify removal on zabasearch.com, intelius.com, peoplefinder.com, and usasearch.com in an incognito window.
Step 6: Monitor quarterly. PeopleConnect re-imports from public records every 3–6 months. Re-check and resubmit via the portal if listings reappear.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does ZabaSearch take to remove my data?

Most data brokers respond within 30–45 days for CCPA requests and 30 days for GDPR requests. ZabaSearch typically confirms removal within that window, though the listing may reappear if their data source re-scrapes public records. Re-checking every few months is recommended.

Will ZabaSearch relist me after removal?

Possibly. Data brokers like ZabaSearch often re-scrape public records, voter rolls, and court documents, meaning your info can reappear months later. Offlist.me helps you re-send opt-out requests across 300+ brokers periodically so new listings are removed as they surface.

Do I need to upload ID to opt out of ZabaSearch?

Some brokers ask for ID verification, but it is not always legally required. A clearly worded CCPA/GDPR request referencing your record usually suffices. Offlist.me's generated emails are structured to request removal without ID upload wherever possible.
