Removal guide · SecretInfo
Three screens clear a listing here, and none of them costs anything or wants an account. You search for your record, press REMOVE beside it, then hand over an email address on a short verification form. Nothing actually happens until you open the message SecretInfo sends back, which it says can take up to two days. Budget a few minutes now and one click later.
Curious who's behind it? The SecretInfo profile has the operator, the litigation, and where this brand sits in the 2024 MC2 Data leak.

People Searcher · its own form
Getting delisted won't stop a charge. Those are two different requests. SecretInfo's terms point cancellations at (866) 409-0140, and its twin brand publishes a different line, so check your statement and ring whichever one matches it.
The steps
Go straight to secretinfo.org/api/helper/optOutLight/search, headed "Remove My Information". Give it a first name, last name, city and state. The zip, phone and email boxes below say optional and they are, though filling them narrows a crowded result set. Press SEARCH. Several CAPTCHAs turn up in a row on this platform, so keep answering until they stop.
What comes back is a column of candidates under "Select the person you would like to remove", each showing an age and a run of past cities. Common names crowd together here, so read the age and the locations before you press anything.
Anything that describes a different version of you counts separately. A maiden name, a house you left a decade ago, a middle initial that wandered - all of those are their own listings and each wants its own trip through this form.
Photograph the listing before it goes. Should the record turn up again, a dated capture of what was published is what you'll want to point at.
A last form wants your email, full name, address and phone so SecretInfo can match you to the record you picked, then SUBMIT sends it. Reach for a masked or spare address if you keep one. Handing a people-search operation a brand new identifier while you're clearing out the ones it already holds is a poor trade.
Read the small print on that page carefully. SecretInfo says it writes back inside 48 hours, and that opening its message is what finishes the job. Pressing SUBMIT gets you nowhere on its own, so leave that inbox somewhere you'll notice it for the next couple of days.
The sibling
peoplesearcher.com is this same operation wearing another name. Same homepage down to the byte, same California registration under The People Searchers LLC, same three screens waiting at the same path on its own domain.
What neither site will tell you is whether clearing one clears the other. Each opt-out page talks only about itself, and the two hand out different cancellation numbers, which isn't how a single shared system usually behaves. Treat them as two jobs until somebody puts it in writing.
Walkthrough for that side: the People Searcher removal guide covers its flow and its separate billing line.
Confirm
Give it a day or two, then look yourself up on both domains again. Worth running your name past a search engine alongside site:secretinfo.org and site:peoplesearcher.com as well, because listing pages get indexed and a record can sit in a cache for a while after the site itself has dropped it.
Hang on to whatever confirmation emails arrive. They're your only evidence that a request went in, and the only thing worth waving if the listing turns up again.
One pass clears what's published today, not what lands tomorrow. Sites like this rebuild themselves out of public records and other brokers, so a record you cleared can walk back in months later from a source you've never dealt with. Check this pair again every few months, and check the wider family while you're at it, because the fifteen brands sharing the MC2 backend tend to resurface together. Redact's data-broker scan follows the whole set so the list doesn't have to live in your head.
If it fails
Nothing in the inbox. Look in spam first, then run the form again with a different address. That form is the only thing that sends the message.
It's back a few weeks later. This brand rides an aggregator backend, so a suppressed record can resurface the moment fresh public-records data flows through. Send it again and hold on to the dated captures.
The charges keep coming. Delisting and cancelling are separate errands. Ring (866) 409-0140 or write to support@peoplesearcher.com. The terms call fees non-refundable, so take it to your card issuer if support digs in.
Covered under Daniel's Law. Judges, prosecutors, law-enforcement officers and their immediate families have a statutory route in New Jersey that doesn't depend on this form, and the company behind this site is already a defendant in that litigation.
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.
