What PeopleByName knows about you
PeopleByName is a mid-tier people-search site. Standard data: name, address, prior addresses, phone, age, relatives. Lower traffic than tier-1 brokers but still indexed and searchable. The data is name-keyed only — there's no reverse-phone or reverse-address surface, so a removal here doesn't need to be checked from multiple directions like USPhoneBook or That's Them.
Why it matters if you're on the job
The page is a clean broker hit when someone Googles your name. No paywall friction, just type and read. That's the part that matters — anyone running a quick canvas of broker sites lands here.
How to opt out
Standard search-claim-verify-by-email flow. Steps in optOutSteps above.
What we do that's faster
We file the PeopleByName opt-out and re-check every two weeks.
Doing this for one broker is straightforward. Doing it for 200, on a continuous basis, is what we do.
