Truth Finder Opt Out Guide
Seeing your private information on TruthFinder can be overwhelming, especially with how much detail they include in their reports. You can submit a manual opt-out request to reclaim your privacy, and we’ll walk you through the process step by step. Want it handled for you? Vanish Me automatically removes your data from TruthFinder and many other broker sites.
What is Truth Finder?
TruthFinder is a data broker and people search website founded in 2015 and based in San Diego, California. The platform aggregates personal information from public records, court filings, social media, and commercial databases to create in-depth reports about individuals.
TruthFinder reports often include current and past addresses, contact information, relatives, property records, criminal history, and social profiles. The company promotes itself as a way to verify identities, reconnect with people, or research neighbors, dates, or acquaintances.
While TruthFinder highlights its comprehensive reports, the platform has also raised privacy concerns due to the level of detail it exposes. Users often report difficulty canceling subscriptions, and the site has been criticized for using fear-based marketing language around criminal records. Like other data brokers, TruthFinder is not a Consumer Reporting Agency under the FCRA, meaning its reports cannot be used for hiring, tenant screening, or credit checks. Because of its reach and sensitivity of the information displayed, many people opt out of TruthFinder to reduce their digital footprint.
How to Remove Your Information from TruthFinder (Step by Step)
Truth Finder is owned by parent company People Connect. People Connect has a centralized tool that opts you out of all of the data broker sites that they own, which includes:
Classmates® – a longstanding social network for reuniting with old school friends.
Intelius – known for reverse phone/address lookups and background checks.
TruthFinder – a deep-dive people search platform offering detailed personal reports.
Instant Checkmate – another robust background-check service.
US Search – a legacy people search site they also operate.

How Long Does TruthFinder Take to Remove Your Info?
TruthFinder usually completes opt-out requests in 48 hours, though it can sometimes take up to a week for your profile to stop appearing. As with most data brokers, TruthFinder pulls from multiple sources, so your information may reappear after future updates. If you’d rather not go through the hassle of repeating opt-outs, Vanish Me offers an automated service that ensures your TruthFinder listings stay removed over the long run.
