Opted

About Opted

We remove your personal information from the internet.

Because your home address shouldn’t be a search result. We find where your personal information is listed, get it taken down, and show you proof.

Why we do this

Strangers shouldn’t be able to look up where you live.

Type a name into a people-search site and you get a home address, a phone number, an age and a list of relatives. For most people that’s unsettling. For a nurse with a difficult patient, a journalist with an angry reader, or someone who left a bad relationship, it’s dangerous.

The sites that publish this information make money from it, so they make opting out as slow and confusing as they’re allowed to. Most people never finish. Most never start, because they’ve never heard of the sites in the first place.

We started Opted to do that work for people, properly. Find every listing, get it taken down, prove it with a screenshot, and keep checking so it stays down. No scare tactics, no inflated counters, no promises we can’t show you.

Who it’s for

Built for people who can’t afford to be easy to find.

  • Healthcare workers

    Nurses, doctors and clinic staff who don't want a patient turning up at their door.

  • Journalists and creators

    People whose work puts them in front of strangers, some of them angry.

  • Real estate agents

    Your face and number are on every listing. Your home address doesn't need to be.

  • Survivors and name changes

    If you moved to get away from someone, the last thing you need is a site publishing your new address.

And for everyone else who just doesn’t like being looked up.

What we do

  • We find your listings

    We check the sites that collect and sell personal information for your name, address, phone number and relatives.

  • We get it taken down

    We make every site take your listing down, on your behalf, and we stay on them until it's gone.

  • We show you proof and keep checking

    Each removal comes with a screenshot. We recheck every month and remove you again if a site puts you back.

How we work

Three rules we don’t break

  1. Proof, not promises

    Every confirmed removal comes with a before and after screenshot. We never call it removed until it's gone.

  2. Plain words

    Your listings are found, requested or removed. That's the whole vocabulary, and it means what it says.

  3. No ties to data brokers

    We don't sell or share your information with anyone. We use it for one thing: finding and removing your listings.

Being straight with you

What we can’t promise

Some companies in this business will tell you anything. Here is where we stop.

Gone for good
Sites buy fresh data and list people again. That's why we recheck every month and remove you again, for as long as you're with us.
Every site on earth
We cover the people-search sites and data brokers that matter most, and we keep adding. If a site we don't cover has you, tell us.
No more spam calls
Fewer, yes. None, no. Your number is in more places than people-search sites, and we only remove what's publicly listed.

See where you’re listed. Free, in about a minute.

No credit card. Keep the report either way.
