Yellowbook's people search is BeenVerified's
The people search on this domain is BeenVerified's. Searches are passed to BeenVerified, which assembles the report and sells the subscription, and a removal filed with BeenVerified is what clears those listings. Hibu keeps contact and payment details, site browsing data and caller ID from its call-tracking numbers. Requests about that go to privacyofficerus@hibu.com or 1-800-700-7303.
Broker profile
Yellowbook
- People search by BeenVerified
- Redact removes listings automatically
Hibu, which runs Yellowbook, says its people directory is provided by its partner BeenVerified, and both the directory's Remove My Info link and Hibu's own privacy policy send removal requests there. The domain promises the old yellow pages, now with a people search, and it does name BeenVerified, in a line at the foot of its people search. The people listings found through it belong to BeenVerified, so that is where their removal has to be filed, and Hibu takes requests about what it keeps itself.

Each broker is scored 1 to 4 across the six dimensions above; higher means more exposure, and the overall gauge is their average.
Complaint record is not established for this broker, so it is left out of the gauge rather than averaged in as a number nobody researched. The figure above is the average of the other five dimensions.
What each dimension means
- Data published: how much and how sensitive the personal data they put out.
- Re-listing frequency: how quickly you reappear after opting out.
- Complaint record: the volume and pattern of complaints across BBB, Trustpilot, and Sitejabber. No listing, or a listing with no reviews, counts against the broker.
- Opt-out friction: how hard the removal process is to complete.
- Operator opacity: how hidden the operating company and its principals are.
- Prior data incidents: history of breaches or leaks of the data they hold.

Background
Background
Hibu, which runs Yellowbook, says its people directory is provided by its partner BeenVerified, and both the directory's Remove My Info link and Hibu's own privacy policy send removal requests there.
Its conditions of use name the operator in full, Hibu Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The people search sits on a tab beside the business listings. Its name pages show ages, cities, phone numbers, email domains and relatives, and a search runs through Yellowbook-hosted loading pages in BeenVerified's branding before reaching BeenVerified's own consent screen.
Hibu keeps a separate privacy route, privacyofficerus@hibu.com or 1-800-700-7303, for the rest of the data it holds, but its privacy policy sends anyone who wants off the people directory to BeenVerified's opt-out. Hibu and the older Yellow Book USA business both hold A+ ratings from the BBB, earned on the business-listings side.
A people-search record found here is BeenVerified's, not Hibu's. The BeenVerified profile has the complaint record and the litigation behind those listings.

FAQ
Q & A
How do I remove my information from Yellowbook?
The people listings belong to BeenVerified, so that is where they have to be removed, and our BeenVerified removal guide walks the process. For anything else Hibu keeps about you, the request goes to privacyofficerus@hibu.com or 1-800-700-7303.
Is Yellowbook a data broker?
It isn't on California's data-broker register, and the people search on it is BeenVerified's. Its privacy route is for what Hibu keeps itself, such as contact and payment details, site browsing data and caller ID from its call-tracking numbers.
Why does Yellowbook exist?
Mainly as Hibu's directory of local businesses. The people search is one tab on it, supplied by its partner BeenVerified.
