What PeopleWhiz knows about you

PeopleWhiz is a people-search site. It lists your name, current and prior addresses, phone numbers, approximate age, relatives, household members, and property and public records.

Its data comes from government records, public web and social sources, and feeds bought from other brokers. That means a record here usually points to records on other people-search sites too.

PeopleWhiz also runs alongside several near-identical sites with similar names, including PeopleWhiz.net, PeopleWhized.com, and PeopleWizard.net. Removing yourself from one does not remove you from the others.

Why it matters if you're on the job

Anyone running a name search across people-search sites can land on your PeopleWhiz page. The report ties your name to your current address, your phone number, and the people who live with you. A listing on you is also a listing on your family.

Property records are part of the profile. That connects your name directly to the address of the home you own.

The site is sold to general consumers, and checkout does not ask why someone is searching.

One more thing to know before you file: PeopleWhiz asks you to upload a photo of a government ID to process the removal. That is a real trade-off, handing an ID to a data broker to get taken off its site. Weigh it before you submit.

How to opt out

Open the PeopleWhiz "Remove my info" page, linked from the site footer. Search your name with your city and state, select the listing that matches you, and enter an email address. The form asks you to upload a photo of a government ID. After you submit, click the verification link PeopleWhiz emails you. The request stops if you skip that step.

Removal usually takes about 7 business days after you verify, and sometimes up to 10. A wait past a week is not always a stalled request.

If you have held an address from a prior assignment, search that too. Each address can carry its own listing.

We reviewed this opt-out flow on July 11, 2026, using published removal guides rather than a direct check of the site. PeopleWhiz has moved its removal link across different URLs, so confirm the current page from the site footer before you rely on it.

How long until you're back

An opt-out clears what PeopleWhiz shows now. It does not stop the site from rebuilding your profile later. A new public filing, an address change, or a fresh feed from one of its suppliers can put you back in the index. Plan on checking again rather than treating one removal as final.

What we do that's faster

We submit the PeopleWhiz request, handle the verification email when it lands, and keep checking your listing after that. When your record comes back, we file again. We run the same process across the other brokers that have you, including the sister sites that share PeopleWhiz's data, so you are not working through them one at a time. We handle most of the work and tell you clearly when a site needs something only you can provide, such as the ID upload above.

Who owns it

Searchers of Records

Better Business Bureau records list PeopleWhiz.com under a business named Searchers of Records in Huntington Beach, California, and name Kourosh Cyrus Zahabian as its owner. BBB ties the same owner to a related site, Background Alert. We have not confirmed the full corporate structure from state filings, so treat the corporate detail as reported rather than certain.
