CocoFinder

What CocoFinder knows about you

CocoFinder is a free people-search site. Search a name and it returns a profile: current and prior addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, relatives and household associates, linked social media, and criminal or arrest records where it has them. The data set is smaller than Spokeo's or Whitepages's, but the page still ranks in Google, so your record surfaces when someone searches your name.

The information comes from public records, court filings, voter rolls, property records, and commercial feeds bought from other brokers. None of it required your permission to publish.

The free preview shows enough to point someone toward your home. The full report costs money or routes the visitor to a larger broker.

Why it matters if you're on the job

Most people looking for your address start with Spokeo, Whitepages, or TruePeopleSearch. CocoFinder is the backup they find on the second page of results. That still puts your current address in front of them.

Old addresses pull in the people tied to them: your spouse, your parents, an adult child who lived with you. A single listing maps your home and the people in it.

The criminal-records field adds a separate problem. If CocoFinder attaches an old arrest record from someone with a similar name to your profile, that error is now public and searchable under your name.

The ownership is worth knowing. Security researcher Brian Krebs reported in 2024 that CocoFinder is a subsidiary of Shenzhen Duiyun Technology Co., a Chinese company, and that the site lists staff who do not exist. Your personal information sits with an operator that hides who runs it.

How to opt out

CocoFinder runs a free opt-out. Search the site for your listing and copy its URL, then go to https://cocofinder.com/remove-my-info and submit the removal form with your name, email, and the listing URL. You can also email the same details to support@cocofinder.com. CocoFinder states it processes requests in 24 to 48 hours. Search the site again after a couple of days to confirm.

If you've lived in more than one place, search every prior city and town. Each address can build a separate listing, and removing one doesn't touch the others.

How long until you're back

Plan on about six months. Opt-out guides that track CocoFinder report listings returning within roughly that window. CocoFinder processes the request but doesn't keep the page down. Its data feeds rebuild the profile from the same public sources: a new property record, a court filing, or a voter-roll update brings it back.

What we do that's faster

We file the opt-out, complete any confirmation step, and keep checking CocoFinder for your listing. When it comes back, we file again. We do the same across the other people-search sites that carry your information, so you're not tracking and refiling these yourself. We handle most of the process and tell you clearly when a site needs something from you.
