Removal guide · People Searcher
Nothing here costs money and nobody asks you to make an account. You look yourself up on the Remove My Information form, press REMOVE beside your profile, and leave contact details on a second form so People Searcher can match you to it. Then you wait. The company gives itself 48 hours to write back, and its message carries the link that actually does the removing. One warning worth taking seriously. This clears peoplesearcher.com and nothing else, and the same outfit runs SecretInfo off the same registration behind its own separate form.
Want the background first? The People Searcher profile covers who operates the site, the Daniel's Law case against it, and its place in the 2024 MC2 Data leak.

SecretInfo · separate form
Clearing your listing leaves the billing alone. They're separate requests and the form only handles one of them. To stop a charge, write to support@peoplesearcher.com or ring (833) 634-0750. Check the statement first, because the sister brand collects through a different number entirely.
The steps
Open peoplesearcher.com/api/helper/optOutLight/search. The page is titled "Remove My Information" - enter the first name, last name, city, and state of the record you want removed (zip, phone, and email are optional but tighten the match), then hit SEARCH. Expect CAPTCHAs along the way - this platform serves several back to back in one pass, so keep solving and moving.
The results page is headed "Select the person you would like to remove", listing each candidate's name, age, and location history. Pick the record that's actually you - the listings can be close together for common names, so check the age and the cities before clicking REMOVE.
If you find more than one record for yourself - a maiden name, an old address, a middle initial variant - each is a separate listing and each needs its own submission.
Capture the page while it's still up. A dated image of exactly what People Searcher was publishing is worth having if the record ever reappears.
A second Remove My Information form asks for your email, full name, address, and phone number so they can verify you're the matching person. Fill it in and hit SUBMIT. Use an email address you can open - a masked or secondary one is better than your primary.
The page's own wording: after they receive your email and verify your information, they send you an email within 48 hours, and clicking that email completes the removal. So the request isn't done at SUBMIT - watch the inbox for up to two days and click through when it lands.
Then do the same on SecretInfo. secretinfo.org is the same product under a second brand - byte-for-byte the same homepage, on the same California data-broker registration held by The People Searchers LLC. Neither site says whether one submission clears both, and the two even publish different cancellation phone numbers, so until one of them says otherwise, do both. The SecretInfo removal guide covers that side, including its separate billing line.
Confirm
Search your name again on both sites a day or two later. Also search the web for your name alongside site:peoplesearcher.com and site:secretinfo.org - listing pages get indexed, and a removed record can sit in a search cache for a while after it's gone from the site itself.
Keep the confirmation emails. They're the only proof you submitted, and the only thing you'll have to point at if the listing returns.
If it fails
No verification email. Check spam, then try again with a different address. The form is the only channel that triggers the email; support can't confirm it for you.
Listing back after a few weeks. This site sits on an aggregator backend, so a suppressed record can resurface when fresh public-records data flows in. Re-submit and keep the dated screenshots.
Still being billed. Removal and cancellation are separate. Email support@peoplesearcher.com or call (833) 634-0750; for SecretInfo the terms give (866) 409-0140. The terms say fees are non-refundable, so dispute with your card issuer if support won't help.
New Jersey covered persons. If you're a judge, prosecutor, law-enforcement officer, or their immediate family, Daniel's Law gives you a separate statutory route - and this operator is already a defendant in that litigation. Its California filing also lists a dedicated address for those requests.
Staying off
One opt-out is a snapshot, not a permanent state. People-search sites rebuild from public records and data brokers upstream, so the same record can reappear months later from a source you never dealt with.
Recheck this pair quarterly, and recheck the wider family while you're there - the fifteen brands mapped to the MC2 backend share plumbing, and a listing that reappears on one often reappears on several. Redact's data-broker scan tracks the whole set so you don't have to remember which is which.
Redact scans 120+ data broker sites from your device, finds where your details are listed, and submits the removal requests for you. If a broker relists you, it files again.
August 2026 · Steps confirmed by a real run of the form rather than from reading the site, evidenced by the step captures on this page. The platform's sister sites were walked between 7 and 11 August; this one was not dated more precisely at the time. Supporting research dated August 5, 2026 from the operator's own opt-out and terms pages, read through a render proxy because the site serves a JavaScript shell to automated readers.
