People By Name Opt Out Guide

Finding your name, address, and phone number on PeopleByName can feel invasive and concerning. Fortunately, you can take back control of your personal data by following their opt-out process. With just a few quick steps, you can remove your listing and reduce your online exposure.

What is People By Name?

PeopleByName (also stylized as People By Name) is a people search and reverse phone lookup site that compiles personal details from public records, marketing databases, and other online sources. It allows users to lookup individuals by name, phone number, or address to access data like contact information, residential history, property records, and sometimes public filings or background details.

The site sources its intelligence from public records (court, property, voter registrations), telecom databases, and data bought from third parties. Because its data is aggregated broadly, many users find their information appearing even if they never signed up for PeopleByName.

PeopleByName is not regulated under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and does not claim to be a consumer reporting agency. Because the site updates and refreshes its data regularly, deleted records may reappear over time, so ongoing removal is often necessary.

How to Remove Your Information from People By Name (Step by Step)

Step 1: Send an email to the People By Name customer support formally requesting the removal of your record. Their email is support@peoplebyname.com. Use the below email as a template to send.

How Long Does People By Name Take to Remove Your Info?

Most removal requests are processed quickly—often within 24 hours or less. However, it may take up to a few business days for the change to fully propagate across their database and search results. Because PeopleByName frequently refreshes its data, your record could reappear later unless removal is maintained.
