AnyWho
A people searchsite that exposes your name, address, phone, and relatives. Here's what they collect, how to opt out, and why it matters if you're on the job.
What AnyWho collects
- Full name
- Phone numbers (landline and cell)
- Current and prior addresses
- Reverse phone-lookup data
How to opt out yourself
Direct opt-out: https://corporate.thryv.com/privacy/
- Open the Thryv corporate privacy page (Thryv owns AnyWho).
- Submit a removal request through the privacy form.
- Provide your name, phone number, and address.
- Allow 7-10 business days for the listing to drop.
What AnyWho knows about you
AnyWho is a reverse-phone-lookup site that descends from the original Yellow Pages directory business. Search a phone number and you get back a name and address. Search a name and you get back the phone. Standard mid-tier broker data.
Why it matters if you're on the job
That's the angle that hurts. Your cell number is on file with vendors, schools, and gyms — any one of them can leak it and pull back your home address. AnyWho is one of the older sources for this kind of lookup.
How to opt out
Submit through Thryv's corporate privacy form (Thryv owns AnyWho). Slower than typical brokers but durable.
What we do that's faster
We file the Thryv opt-out and re-check every two weeks. Same monthly rhythm across the people-search sites that actually move the needle.
Doing this for one broker is straightforward. Doing it for 200, on a continuous basis, is what we do.
