How to opt out yourself

Direct opt-out: https://www.lookup.com/optout

  1. Confirm the opt-out URL and steps on Lookup.com first. We could not independently re-verify them for this page, and broker opt-out flows change often.
  2. Open https://www.lookup.com/optout in a private window.
  3. Search your name on Lookup.com to confirm a record exists.
  4. Submit the opt-out form with your record URL.
  5. Provide a working email address.
  6. Click the verification link in the email. The request does not process until you do.
  7. Allow several business days, then re-check by searching your name again.

What Lookup.com knows about you

Lookup.com is a re-host. It carries your name, current and prior addresses, phone numbers, approximate age, and a list of relatives. A free preview shows enough to place you; the full report sits behind a paywall. The data is not original to Lookup.com. It comes from the same public records and commercial broker feeds that supply Spokeo, Whitepages, and the other high-traffic sites. If you appear on those, you almost certainly appear here. The listing looks different from Spokeo's, but the address it publishes is the same.

That is the problem with re-host brokers. You can clear the headline sites and still have your home address sitting on a second-tier site a relative stumbles onto later.

Why it matters if you're on the job

A second site hosting the same home address is still your home address on the open internet. Lower traffic does not help you. Someone working down a list of broker sites only needs one page to load. Prior-address overlap is the bigger problem: it links your spouse, your parents, and any adult child who once lived with you to the same profile. One listing can expose the whole household.

Many first responders move somewhere quiet so their home address stays private. A re-host site undoes that the same way the original listing did.

How to opt out

Open the opt-out page in a private browser window. Search your name on the main site first to find the listing that is actually you, then submit that record's URL through the form with a working email address. Lookup sends a verification email, and the request does not process until you click the link. Then allow several business days and re-check by searching your name again. The full steps are in the optOutSteps field above.

Confirm the current opt-out URL and process on Lookup.com before you rely on them. We could not independently re-verify them for this page, and broker opt-out flows change often.

How long until you're back

About six months, based on what we see. The upstream feeds keep flowing, so the listing rebuilds on its own. A one-time opt-out delays the exposure; it does not end it.

What we do that's faster

We file the Lookup.com opt-out for you, click the verification email when it arrives, and keep re-checking the site regularly. When your listing comes back, we file again. We run the same process across 200+ broker sites at once, including the other sites that buy from the same feeds Lookup does. That is continuous broker monitoring for individuals, not a one-time scrub.

Where the data comes from

  • Public recordsProperty, voter, and court records aggregated from government sources.
  • Commercial data-broker feedsPurchased from the same wholesale data suppliers that feed the major people-search sites.

Doing this for one broker is straightforward. Doing it for 200, on a continuous basis, is what we do.
