How to remove yourself from PeopleSearchNow

PeopleSearchNow's opt-out is an email-gated two-form flow at peoplesearchnow.com/opt-out - same shape as the sibling sites FastPeopleSearch and USPhoneBook since all three run on Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC. Submit a short form (name + email + consent + CAPTCHA), click the black "Click here to fill out the form" button in the email PeopleSearchNow sends you, fill out a longer detailed form on the site, then see the confirmation. About 5-10 minutes; the site processes within 3 days or less. The verification email lands in the inbox (not Gmail spam like USPhoneBook's), so the flow is a bit smoother than the USPB sibling.

Already opted out of FastPeopleSearch or USPhoneBook? Do this one too. All three sites are operated by Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC. Its filing says one request covers the sale of personal information across its sites, but we have not verified that a record clears either sibling, so do each one. Plan to run all three back-to-back if you're cleaning up your exposure to the LLC's data product. See the profile network section for the shared-operator context.

Good news on the email side. Unlike the sibling USPhoneBook (whose verification email lands in Gmail's spam folder by default), PeopleSearchNow's verification email from support@peoplesearchnow.com arrives directly in the inbox. Still worth glancing at spam if it doesn't appear within a few minutes, but the spam-gauntlet headache from the USPB walkthrough isn't present here.

I'd use a forwarding / disposable email. The first form asks for your email and PeopleSearchNow sends the verification link there. A masked address via Apple Hide My Email, Firefox Relay, or SimpleLogin limits how much new contact data the broker collects from you through the opt-out itself.

Prereqs

What you'll need before you start

3 things
  • A real email inbox you can check today. PeopleSearchNow sends the verification link from support@peoplesearchnow.com. The opt-out doesn't advance until you click it, and the link expires in 24 hours per the email's own warning.

  • Your full name + DOB + address + phone + zip. The first form just needs your name + email, but the second form (after the email link) asks for First / Middle / Last name, Date of Birth, Phone, Street Address, City, State (dropdown), Zip Code, and Email - have all of that ready before you start.

  • An uninterrupted 10 minutes. The email link is single-use and time-limited. I'd plan to do both forms in one sitting rather than walking away mid-flow.

The 4 steps

Remove your listing

~5-10 minutes total
01

Go to peoplesearchnow.com/opt-out, fill the short form, click Begin Removal Process

Open peoplesearchnow.com/opt-out. The page is titled People Search Now Opt-Out Form and walks you through the four-step removal at the top, then the form sits below. Leave the "I am:" dropdown set to The subject of the request, fill in First Name, Middle Name (optional), Last Name, and Email, check the authorization box, solve the reCAPTCHA, and click Begin Removal Process.

PeopleSearchNow /opt-out page titled 'People Search Now Opt-Out Form' with breadcrumb 'PeopleSearchNow / Opt Out Form'. The page lists four numbered removal steps at the top: (1) Enter your email address and name and complete the captcha below; PeopleSearchNow will send a link to your email that will take you to the opt-out form, (2) Click the link sent to your email (note 24-hour expiry), (3) Enter your information on the form (should match the record you want opted out), (4) You'll be taken to a confirmation page and receive a confirmation email, allow 3 days for processing. Below the instructions sits a notice paragraph and an 'I am:' dropdown set to 'The subject of the request'.

02

Open the email from support@peoplesearchnow.com and click the black "Click here to fill out the form" button

Check your inbox for an email titled "Complete your peoplesearchnow.com Privacy Request" from support@peoplesearchnow.com. Unlike the USPhoneBook sibling site this one lands directly in your inbox (not spam) per the live walkthrough. The body warns about a 24-hour link expiry and includes a black "Click here to fill out the form" button in the middle. Click it.

PeopleSearchNow verification email titled 'Complete your peoplesearchnow.com Privacy Request' from support@peoplesearchnow.com, displayed in Gmail with 'External' and 'Inbox' tags (notably NOT in spam, unlike the USPhoneBook sibling email). Body reads 'Here are the final steps for completing your privacy request on peoplesearchnow. If you waited longer than 24 hours to click the link below, you will need to start over and generate another link.' followed by '1. Please completely and accurately fill out the form at the link below.' A black 'Click here to fill out the form' button sits in the middle of the body. Below the button: '2. Once you fill out the form, you will be taken to a confirmation page. You will also receive a confirmation email verifying we have received your request.' Signed 'peoplesearchnow Compliance'.
Email arrives in inbox (not spam). Black button "Click here to fill out the form".
03

Fill out the detailed second form, check the review box + reCAPTCHA, click Confirm Removal Process

The email link takes you back to PeopleSearchNow with a detailed form pre-loaded with your name. Fill in Date of Birth, Phone, Street Address, City, State (dropdown), Zip Code, and confirm the Email field. Tick the "Please review the information above to ensure it is accurate. You will not be able to modify the information once you click submit" checkbox, solve the second reCAPTCHA, and click the blue Confirm Removal Process button.

PeopleSearchNow detailed second form with header text 'If incomplete or inaccurate information is provided on our opt-out form, we may be unable to locate all records associated with the subject. If we receive new data connected to a record that we were unable to identify based on your original request, information you submit here may appear on our site in the future. To prevent this, we encourage you to provide the requested information on our opt-out form.' Fields: First Name (required, pre-filled), Middle Name, Last Name (required, pre-filled), Date of Birth (mm/dd/yyyy), Phone, Street Address, City (required), State (required, dropdown), Zip Code (required), Email (required, pre-filled). Below sits a 'Please review the information above to ensure it is accurate. You will not be able to modify the information once you click submit' acknowledgment checkbox, an 'I'm not a robot' reCAPTCHA, and a blue 'Confirm Removal Process' button.
Detailed form: DOB, phone, address, state, zip + review checkbox + reCAPTCHA + Confirm.

See the Opt-Out Request Confirmation page

Submitting lands you on the Opt-Out Request Confirmation page (breadcrumb: PeopleSearchNow / Opt Out Confirmation). The page reads "The following information was submitted to our system successfully. We will locate and remove your record based on the information you provided. Expect your information to be fully removed in 3 days or less." It echoes the data you submitted - First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, DOB, Street, City, State - and reminds you to clear your browser cache before checking for removal. Screenshot the page as evidence.

PeopleSearchNow 'Opt-Out Request Confirmation' page with breadcrumb 'PeopleSearchNow / Opt Out Confirmation' and the message 'The following information was submitted to our system successfully. We will locate and remove your record based on the information you provided. Expect your information to be fully removed in 3 days or less.' Below: 'If you notice an error on the information you submitted below, or have additional information to provide, you may submit a new request by restarting the process at Opt Out Form.' and 'Please make sure you clear your browser cache before attempting to confirm removal, or your device may pull up an old, stored version of our website. Also make sure you initiate a new search. Please do not verify removal by clicking on a saved link.' A bulleted summary of the submitted fields is shown below: First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, DOB, Street, City, State.
Submitted. 3 days or less. Clear cache before verifying.

Confirm it worked

Did it actually work?

3 days or less
  1. Wait up to 3 days after submitting the detailed second form. That's PeopleSearchNow's stated processing window, matching the FPS / USPB sibling sites exactly.
  2. Clear your browser cache (or open a private / incognito window) before re-checking. The confirmation page warns about cached copies and explicitly says not to verify removal by clicking a saved link.
  3. Go to peoplesearchnow.com and run a fresh search by name + city / state. Spot- check by phone number too since the reverse-phone- lookup product indexes the same person under multiple keys.
  4. Your record should no longer appear in the results.
  5. If you matched multiple listings (older addresses, nickname variants, secondary phones), we recommend re-running steps 1-4 once per listing.
  6. Don't forget the sister sites. If you haven't already opted out of FastPeopleSearch or USPhoneBook, do those next - same Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC operator, same general flow, and we have not verified that a removal here reaches them.
  7. Set a 90-day reminder to re-check. The Mississippi Tornado Alley brands continuously re-index public records, so a new listing can appear weeks or months after a successful opt-out.

Troubleshooting

If it doesn't work

Common failures
  • The verification email never arrived. Check spam / promotions for support@peoplesearchnow.com. Live walkthrough shows the email arrives in inbox (unlike USPB which lands in Gmail spam), but if your corporate filter is aggressive it could still be caught. If it's not there after 30 minutes even in spam, restart from step 1.

  • You waited and the 24-hour email link expired. The link is single-use and time-limited. Restart from step 1 to generate a new one.

  • reCAPTCHA won't pass. Try a different browser, disable ad-blockers / privacy extensions for the session, clear cookies, and avoid VPN / Tor exit nodes - all three tend to bump reCAPTCHA into harder challenges.

  • The detailed second form throws an error. Try a different browser, disable ad-blockers / privacy extensions for the session, clear cookies. If the error persists, call the BBB-listed phone (888) 553-5506 to file the opt-out by phone instead.

  • Record still appears after 3 days. Clear cache first - the confirmation page specifically warns about stale cached copies. If it's still there after a fresh search, re-run the entire flow once. If still up after another week, escalate by phone ((888) 553-5506).

  • Multiple records under your name. PeopleSearchNow indexes by name, address, and phone - so a single person commonly has multiple records across historical addresses, secondary phones, and old email addresses. Each is a separate opt-out submission.

Stay off

Keep your record off the site

Re-listing is common
  • We recommend re-checking quarterly. The Mississippi Tornado Alley brands continuously re-index public records, so a new listing can appear weeks or months after a successful opt-out as new property, voter, or directory data surfaces.

  • Opt out of all three sibling sites on the same schedule. Mississippi Tornado Alley LLC operates FastPeopleSearch, USPhoneBook, and PeopleSearchNow, and we have not verified that one removal reaches the others. I'd add all three to the same quarterly re-check reminder so the trio stays in sync.

  • Watch for multiple profiles. Address changes and name variants (middle initial, nickname, maiden name) tend to produce separate PeopleSearchNow records. I'd re-check by all the variants you've used, not just your current legal name.

  • Watch the reverse-phone-lookup angle. Like USPhoneBook, PeopleSearchNow leans on phone-number lookups; even if your name search is clean, your phone number could still surface in a reverse lookup. Search yourself by phone too during the quarterly re-check.

  • Suppress upstream sources where possible. Voter registration, property assessor data, and published phone directories are the most common re-listing triggers we've seen; some states allow address confidentiality programs (often for victims of stalking or domestic violence) that suppress your record at the source.

  • I'd suggest a forwarding mailbox or PO Box for non-essential mail and a masked email forwarder for non-essential signups. New property records and new email-list signups are the biggest re-listing triggers across the people-search category.

Take yourself off data broker sites

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.
