To opt out of Information.com, go to information.com, scroll to the footer, and click "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information." Search your name and location, select your matching profile, enter your name and a disposable email, and submit. Click the confirmation link in the email you receive. Removal takes 5 to 7 days. No ID is required. If the confirmation email expires before you click it, you must restart the process from the beginning.
If the confirmation email expires, you must restart the entire process
Information.com sends a time-limited confirmation link after you submit your opt-out request. Unlike most data brokers, if this link expires before you click it, your request is cancelled entirely and you cannot simply resubmit your email. You must go back to Step 1 and start over. Have your email inbox accessible before you begin and click the link as soon as it arrives.
Information.com is a people search site that aggregates personal information from public records and other sources. It publishes your full name, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, court records, and social media profiles. This guide covers the official, free opt-out process, last updated May 2026.
No account and no ID required. Use a secondary or disposable email. Have your inbox open and ready before you submit – the confirmation link is time-limited and must be clicked promptly.
Information.com handles removal requests through their privacy opt-out link. You can reach it via the site footer. There is no separate direct URL for the form.
Go to https://www.information.com, scroll to the very bottom of the page, and click "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information."
The opt-out form searches the Information.com database for profiles matching your name and location. City and state narrow the results if you have a common name.
Enter your full name and city or state. Complete the CAPTCHA if one appears, then click Search.
The search results display profiles matching your name and location. Click on the result that belongs to you to open it and proceed to the opt-out submission form.
Find your matching profile in the results and click on it to open the full record and access the removal option.
After selecting your profile, a form appears asking for your name and email address. These are used to send the confirmation link and tie the request to your identity. No ID is required.
Enter your full name and a disposable email address, then click Submit.
Information.com sends a confirmation email immediately after you submit. This link is time-limited. If it expires before you click it, your request is cancelled and you must restart from Step 1. This is different from most data broker opt-outs, which allow you to click the link later.
Open the email from Information.com immediately and click the confirmation link. Check your spam folder if it does not arrive within 5 minutes.
Information.com has a longer processing window than most data brokers – up to 7 days. Do not check the site too early. Clear your browser cache before verifying to avoid seeing a cached version of your profile.
Wait at least 5 days, clear your browser cache, then search your name on Information.com. If your profile does not appear, the removal was successful.

No. Only your name and email address are required. No government-issued ID, no account, and no payment is needed at any point.
Each record requires a separate opt-out request. Complete the full process for the first matching profile, then return to the footer link and start again for each additional one.
