FastPeopleSearch Opt-Out Guide

What Is FastPeopleSearch?

FastPeopleSearch is a free people search site that gives away basic personal information and charges for detailed reports. Because it's free, it gets heavy traffic from people casually looking up others - making your exposed data highly visible.

Your FastPeopleSearch profile might include:

• Full name and aliases: Including maiden names and nicknames
• Current and past addresses: Sometimes going back many years
• Phone numbers: Mobile and landline, current and historical
• Email addresses: Any publicly associated with your name
• Age and date of birth: Often prominently displayed
• Relatives and associates: Names of people connected to you
• Neighbors: People who lived near your addresses

Step-by-Step Opt-Out Process

Step 1: Go to the Hidden Removal Page

Navigate directly to the opt-out page:

fastpeoplesearch.com/removal

FastPeopleSearch also publishes a separate Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page, which covers state privacy law requests. The removal page below is the faster route for a single listing.

Step 2: Begin the Removal Process

1. Enter your email address
2. Read and check the box to agree to their terms and conditions
3. Complete the "I'm not a robot" CAPTCHA
4. Click "Begin Removal Process"

Step 3: Search for Your Profile

1. Enter your full name
2. Enter your city and state
3. Click "Free Search"

FastPeopleSearch will display a list of matching profiles.

Step 4: Find and View Your Profile

1. Scan through the results to find your listing
2. Match by age, city, and any relatives shown
3. Click "View Free Details" on your profile

Step 5: Request Removal

1. On your profile page, click "Remove My Record"
2. You'll see a confirmation that a verification email has been sent

Step 6: Verify via Email

1. Check your inbox for an email from FastPeopleSearch
2. If not in inbox, check spam/junk folders
3. Click the button that says "Click here to remove [Your Name]"
4. You'll see confirmation that your profile will be removed within 24 to 72 hours

Step 7: Verify Removal

After 24 to 72 hours, search for yourself on FastPeopleSearch again to confirm your profile is gone.

Multiple Profiles

If you find several listings with your information (different addresses, phone numbers, etc.), you'll need to repeat the process for each one.

There is no bulk removal option, so each listing needs its own request and its own email confirmation.

Removal services report a limit of 5 opt-out requests per email address, which would let you clear several listings in one session. FastPeopleSearch does not publish that limit anywhere in its privacy policy or its state notice, so treat it as unofficial and be ready to switch to a second email address if you hit a ceiling.

Alternative Methods

By Phone

Call FastPeopleSearch at (866) 679-8725 and request removal of your personal information. That is the number listed for privacy requests in FastPeopleSearch's own privacy policy and state supplemental notice. Be prepared to verify your identity.

By Mail

Send a written request to:

Include in your letter:

• Full name
• Date of birth
• Current and previous addresses
• URL of your listing (if you have it)
• Clear statement requesting removal

California Residents: CCPA Rights

California residents can add legal weight to their request. Include this language:

"Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.105, I am exercising my right to deletion. Please delete all personal information you have collected about me and confirm deletion within 45 days as required by law."

Your Data Will Return

Troubleshooting

Can't Find Your Profile

• Try different name variations (maiden name, middle name, nicknames)
• Search with previous cities/states you've lived in
• Try searching with just first name and state (broader search)

Verification Email Never Arrived

• Check spam/junk folders thoroughly
• Wait 15 minutes and check again
• Try submitting with a different email address
• Contact them by phone: (866) 679-8725

Profile Still Visible After 72 Hours

• Clear browser cache and cookies
• Check from an incognito/private browser window
• Try from a different device or network
• Contact them by phone to follow up

"Maximum Requests" Error

Some users hit a per-email ceiling partway through a batch. FastPeopleSearch does not publish the limit, so just switch to a different email address for the remaining requests.

Removing from Google Search Results

After FastPeopleSearch removes your profile, it may still appear in Google results due to caching:

1. Verify your profile is actually removed from FastPeopleSearch
2. Go to Google's Remove Outdated Content tool
3. Submit the URL of your old FastPeopleSearch profile
4. Google will remove it from search results within days to weeks
