What ZabaSearch knows about you

ZabaSearch is a legacy people-search site dating to the mid-2000s. A listing carries the standard set: your full name and aliases, current and prior home addresses, phone numbers, and approximate age. Traffic is lower than Spokeo or Whitepages today, but the listings stay indexed and searchable. The site has been thinned out in pieces over the years, and some older profiles still surface in Google results even after ZabaSearch has trimmed the live page.

Why it matters if you're on the job

The exposure here is your home address tied to your name in a public search result. Someone you arrested, cited, or testified against can run your name and land on where you live. A prior address, like the one you had coming out of the academy, still points toward your current home through relatives and property records. And a home address is never just yours. It puts your spouse, your kids, and your parents on the same page. Old cached listings make this harder to shake. Google can keep an older snippet readable in search results after ZabaSearch has already thinned the live page. Suppressing the record at the source is what eventually clears it.

How to opt out

ZabaSearch no longer runs its own opt-out form. Removal now goes through the PeopleConnect Suppression Center, which covers ZabaSearch and its sister sites, including Intelius, TruthFinder, USSearch, and Instant Checkmate. The steps are listed above. Confirm the current process before you rely on it, since PeopleConnect changes its flow from time to time.

How long until you're back

Re-listing on ZabaSearch tends to be slower than on the busiest people-search sites. When it happens, it usually follows a new public record: a property transaction, an address change, or a fresh phone directory entry feeding the Intelius pipeline. Treat one removal as a checkpoint, not a finish line, and search again periodically.

What we do that's faster

We file the PeopleConnect suppression for you and keep checking for the listing to come back. If ZabaSearch or another site in the network relists you, we file again. We handle most of the process and tell you clearly when a step needs something only you can provide, like an identity confirmation tied to your own record.
