Removing your information from our search results
Please be aware that public records can be obtained from official
public records custodians or repositories and are made available
upon request to the general public. In order to request a copy or
removal of your official public record, please contact the official
custodians of the public record you wish to be removed/withheld from
public access. The process by which you may request for your
official public record/s to be removed varies by state, so please
check with your local government public record repository/ies for
further details.
As a courtesy, you may opt-out of having your information included
in the data that appears in search results of this website. Your
identifying information such as your name, address, phone number (as
it appears on this website) will be withheld/removed upon written
request submitted to our Data Management Department, as further
explained below.
It is vital that we are able to confirm your identity in order to
locate and remove your information from our databases. In order for
us to do this, we require that all data removal request forms
submitted to our Data Management Department are accompanied by
official proof of identity, such as a state issued ID or a driver’s
license. This will ensure that we have fully matched the information
you would like removed with the information stored on our databases.
Please be sure to obscure or redact your photo and ID/driver’s
license number prior to sending us the copy of one of these
documents.
We understand that you may have some security concerns when sending
us your information. We wish to reassure you that we abide by very
stringent security protocols. All information you provide through
the data removal request process is ONLY used for the purposes of
removing data from our databases. The information you submit to us
is not stored, shared, sold, or used for any marketing purposes. It
is used strictly to assist in the facilitation of the data removal
request.
Please print, fill out all the requested/mandatory information on
the Data Removal Request Form available at
www.PeoplePublicRecords.org/opt_out_form.pdf
Be sure to include any of the following reasons for your request:
1.
You are a state, local or federal law enforcement officer or public
official and your position exposes you to a threat of death or
serious bodily harm.
2. You are a victim of identity theft.
3. You are at risk of physical harm.
4. You have evidence the record is incorrect or expunged.
It may further help us locate the information you wish to be
removed/withheld, if you provide us such details as the location of
the data in question in a form of website/URL link.
Please fax or mail your Data Removal Request along with your proof
of ID and copies of any applicable court orders to:
Fax: 617-507-0410 (This fax number is for data opt-out requests
ONLY. The Data Management Department does not manage any customer
related issues)
Opt Out Compliance Department
P.O. Box 990043
Boston, MA 02199
Please allow upwards of 30 days for us to fully process your Data
Removal Request.
Please note: We do not process Data Removal Requests by email or
over the phone. We may not be able to process incomplete requests
which are missing proof of identification and/or vital information
such as name, address and date of birth.
Although most information is usually removed or blocked permanently,
we do not guarantee the information will not be available again in
the future, as we are not in direct control of the information
distributed and obtained from official public records/government or
third party sources. It is for this reason that we recommend you
contact the custodian of the original record to request it be
removed or corrected.
In addition, we have no control over any information displayed by
other online public records vendors, and your Data Removal Request
will not remove information from third party websites.
Please be aware that we are not a “consumer reporting agency" as
defined by the FCRA, as we do not provide any data for use in
credit, insurance, or employment screening. We explicitly prohibit
the use of our service and the data it supplies for such purposes.
