Steps
- Find your listing. Search freepeopledirectory.com for your name and city. Open the result that is you and copy the page address from your browser bar. The opt-out form usually asks for it.
- Open the opt-out form. Go to FreePeopleDirectory (Spokeo data)'s opt-out page and fill in the form with the details that match your listing.
- Check again later. Search for yourself again in a few days. Brokers often re-add people from new public records, so put a reminder on your calendar to check again in 6 months.
