PeekYou.com is a people search engine that aggregates personal information from social media platforms, public records, and other online sources. It publishes your full name, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social media profiles, and links to your public web presence. This guide covers the official, free opt-out process, last updated May 2026.
No account and no ID required. Find your profile on PeekYou first and copy the URL – the opt-out form asks for it and processes faster with it provided.
The PeekYou opt-out form works faster and more accurately when you provide your exact profile URL. Your profile page shows which social accounts and public records PeekYou has linked to you, so it is worth reviewing before you request removal.
Go to https://www.peekyou.com and search by your full name and location. Click into your matching profile, then copy the complete URL from the browser address bar.
PeekYou handles removal requests through their privacy and CCPA opt-out form. You can reach it directly by URL or by clicking "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" in the site footer.
Open a new tab and go to https://www.peekyou.com/about/contact/optout/
The form asks for your profile URL, name, and email address, plus a CAPTCHA or checkbox confirmation. Providing your profile URL is not mandatory but significantly speeds up the review process.
Paste your profile URL into the URL field, enter your full name and a disposable email address, complete the CAPTCHA or checkbox, and click Submit.
PeekYou may send an automated verification email or may process the request through manual staff review. Both are normal. If you receive a verification email, click the link promptly. If the request goes to manual review, a staff member will confirm by email once it is processed.
Check your inbox for an email from PeekYou. If a verification link is included, click it. If you receive a staff reply instead, no further action is needed on your part. Check your spam folder if nothing arrives within 24 hours.
PeekYou does not always send a removal confirmation separate from the initial email. Check the site manually after the processing window to verify your profile no longer appears in search results.
Wait at least 48 hours, then search your name on PeekYou.com. If your profile does not appear, the removal was successful. Allow up to 10 business days for full processing.

PeekYou specialises in linking public online identities. Unlike most data brokers that pull from government and court records, PeekYou actively indexes social media profiles, personal websites, and other public online presence. Removing yourself from PeekYou removes the aggregated view of your digital footprint, though your individual social accounts remain publicly accessible if you have not changed their privacy settings.
Typically 48 hours after verification, but up to 10 business days for requests that go to manual staff review. PeekYou does not always send a final removal confirmation, so check the site manually after 48 hours and again after 10 business days if your profile is still showing.
It is not required but strongly recommended. Providing your exact profile URL allows PeekYou to locate your specific record immediately. Without it, the request goes to manual staff review which takes longer and can sometimes result in no match being found.
Each profile requires a separate opt-out request. Search your name, previous names, and location variations on PeekYou to find all profiles. Copy each URL and repeat the five-step process for each one.
Yes, completely free. No account, ID, or payment is required. Do not pay any third-party service that claims to remove you from PeekYou on your behalf.
Check your spam and junk folders first. If nothing arrives after 48 hours, resubmit the form with a different email address, or contact PeekYou directly at [email protected] with your name, location, and the profile URL you want removed.
Your opt-out request has been sent to PeekYou.com. Processing typically takes 48 hours, and up to 10 business days for manually reviewed requests.
