To opt out of Spokeo, find your listing on spokeo.com, copy the profile URL, paste it into Spokeo’s opt-out form, and confirm via email. Spokeo is a major people search site: a type of data broker that aggregates data from social media, public records, and commercial sources into searchable personal profiles.

How to Remove Yourself from Spokeo: Step by Step

• Search for your listing. Go to spokeo.com and search your name, email, phone, or address.

• Find your profile. Click through to the full listing. Copy the profile URL from your browser’s address bar.

• Go to the Spokeo opt-out page. Navigate to spokeo.com/optout.

• Paste your profile URL and enter your email. Enter both in the opt-out form, then complete the CAPTCHA challenge and click “Remove This Listing.”

• Confirm via email. Check your inbox for a confirmation email from Spokeo and click the verification link. The confirmation link expires after 72 hours: Spokeo removal won’t process without this step.

• Wait for processing. Spokeo removal typically takes 24–72 hours after email confirmation.

• Verify. Search your name again to confirm the listing is gone. If you have multiple listings under name variations, each requires a separate opt-out.

Why Spokeo Removal Needs to Be Repeated

Spokeo refreshes its database from public records, social media, and commercial data partners on a continuous basis. What makes Spokeo’s re-listing particularly aggressive is its social media integration: any update to your public social profiles can trigger a fresh data match in Spokeo’s system, even after a successful opt-out. This isn’t a bug in the opt-out process, it’s how Spokeo’s business model works: they re-collect to keep their product current for paying customers. Learn how the re-listing cycle works →

Every social media update is a fresh trigger for Spokeo to rebuild your profile. RemoveMe watches for these re-listings and removes them automatically, so one public post doesn’t undo your opt-out.
