How to opt out yourself

Direct opt-out: https://service.transunion.com/dss/ccpa_optout.page

  1. Open https://service.transunion.com/dss/ccpa_optout.page in a private window.
  2. Pick the 'Right to Opt Out of Sale/Sharing' option for the TRADS data set.
  3. Submit name, current address, prior addresses, DOB, and the last four of your SSN.
  4. Verify your identity through the email link they send.
  5. Separately, request deletion under the TRADS privacy notice. The opt-out from sale and the deletion request are two different rights.
  6. Allow 45 days for processing. CCPA permits one 45-day extension, so plan for up to 90.
  7. If you're a California officer, the DROP platform launches August 1 2026 and covers TRADS in one filing.

What TransUnion TLOxp knows about you

TransUnion is a credit bureau most people only think about at mortgage time. TLOxp is the other side of the house — investigative data, sold to people whose job is finding people.

The file is deep. Address history, unlisted phone numbers, employer name and tenure, relatives and neighbors mapped to your household, vehicle records, court files, real property, utility connection records that pin down move-in dates. Through Neustar and KONTXT, they pull telecom data — which name owns which phone line. Public materials cite over 100 billion data points covering roughly 95 percent of US adults.

Accuracy is high because everything keys off SSN on the back end.

Why it matters if you're on the job

TLOxp is marketed directly to law enforcement as an investigative platform. You may use it yourself. The problem is who else gets it. Licensed private investigators. Attorneys representing people you arrested. Bail bondsmen. Skip tracers working for collection agencies.

A PI doesn't need to follow you home. They run TLOxp, get your last seven addresses, your spouse's relatives, your kids' likely school district from the ZIP, and the names of three neighbors who could be social-engineered. That's a target package in under a minute.

For a firefighter or paramedic in a smaller agency, same risk. A patient's family member who blames you can hire a PI cheaper than an attorney.

How to opt out

The CCPA opt-out form lives at service.transunion.com/dss/ccpa_optout.page. The TRADS privacy notice took effect January 28 2026 and covers the right to opt out of sale and sharing, the right to delete, and the right to access.

Read the fine print. The notice retains data for fraud prevention, security, legal obligations, and public-interest research. Translation: even after a deletion request, they keep what they argue they need. The opt-out hits marketing and consumer products. TLOxp itself, sold only to credentialed subscribers, is not fully suppressed.

Processing runs 45 days. CCPA allows one extension, so 90 is realistic.

California officers should use DROP — the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform — when it launches August 1 2026. One filing covers every registered broker in the state, including TRADS.

How long until you're back

About 12 months. TRADS isn't refreshing weekly the way consumer people-search sites do. Re-listing is triggered by a new event keyed to your SSN or address — a credit application, a utility connection, a vehicle registration, a court filing. We monitor for new attachments and re-file when one shows up.

What we do that's faster

We file the CCPA opt-out, file the TRADS deletion request, and re-check every two weeks. For California officers, we file on DROP the day it opens. Same playbook across every risk-data and people-search broker we cover, so you only deal with one form on our end instead of forty on theirs.

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