Pipl Opt Out Guide
Seeing your personal information inside a powerful identity engine like Pipl can feel especially alarming. Pipl specializes in linking deep-web and cross-platform identifiers, which means your email, phone, social profiles, and address history may be connected into a single searchable identity profile. Luckily, you can request removal—but the process requires contacting their privacy team directly. If you prefer a hands-off, automated approach, Vanish Me can file these requests for you and monitor future reappearances.
What is Pipl?
Pipl is a professional-grade identity resolution engine used by security teams, risk departments, financial institutions, law enforcement, and fraud analysts. Unlike typical people-search sites that simply display public records, Pipl aggregates identity graph data, meaning it connects data points from thousands of datasets to build a unified, highly detailed profile for each individual.
Because Pipl pulls from a vast network of commercial data partners, your information may appear even if you’ve never interacted with Pipl directly. Their database is not primarily consumer-facing; instead, it’s used by investigators and institutions to validate identities and detect fraud. This makes opting out especially important if you want to minimize the visibility of your personal data.
How to Remove Your Information from Pipl (Step by Step)
Step 1: First, head over to the Pipl website.
Step 2: Scroll down to the website footer. Then, click the “Do not sell or share my information” link
Step 3: Now you’re in their privacy center. Click the big blue button, as outlined in the pic below.
Step 4: Fill out their opt out form with all of your information. Use a valid email address (not a fake one!) as this is what will be used to look up your profile.
Step 5: Now you’ve submitted all your info to the Pipl privacy team. Wait for a confirmation email from them affirming that your information has been removed.

How Long Does Pipl Take to Remove Your Info?
Pipl typically processes opt-out requests within 7 to 21 days, depending on whether they require additional verification or manual identity matching. Because they work with highly structured identity graphs, removals are not always instant.
Additionally:
Pipl periodically refreshes its identity graph using external data partners.
If your information recirculates through these partners, it may reappear later.
You may need to resubmit removal requests in the future.
This is why many people prefer an automated service like Vanish Me that checks regularly and re-files requests as needed.
Continue Protecting Your Privacy
Removing your data from Pipl is a meaningful step, but your information can still appear across many other databases that contribute to the broader identity-data ecosystem. To reduce exposure further, consider opting out of these platforms as well:
NJ Property Records – Publishes property ownership, residency data, and property-linked personal information.
Wiza – Scrapes business and professional contact data from online sources and LinkedIn.
ZoomInfo – One of the largest B2B identity and contact databases used by sales, marketing, and recruiting teams.
Address Search – A people-search platform that shares address histories, household data, and contact information.
Since these sites feed data to different parts of the information ecosystem, opting out of each one strengthens your privacy overall. If you’d prefer an automated option, Vanish Me handles removals across hundreds of brokers and continuously monitors for new exposures.
