How to opt out yourself

Direct opt-out: https://www.beenverified.com/app/optout/search

  1. Open PeopleLooker's site and scroll to the footer.
  2. Click 'Do not sell my personal information.' This redirects to the BeenVerified opt-out portal, the shared removal system for the LTVCo brands.
  3. Search your first name, last name, and state. Leave the city blank, because a narrower search can hide your record.
  4. Select the listing that matches you and click 'Proceed to opt out.' If more than one record shows your name, claim each one.
  5. Enter an email address and complete the CAPTCHA to send the verification email.
  6. Open the email and click the verification link. The opt-out only completes after you click it.
