PeopleSmart opt-outs are processed through BeenVerified
PeopleSmart.com is connected to BeenVerified and uses the same opt-out portal. If you have already opted out of BeenVerified, search your name on PeopleSmart.com to verify whether your record is also removed there. If it still appears, submit a separate opt-out request using the steps below. Each platform maintains its own record visibility, so it is worth checking both.
PeopleSmart.com is a people search website that aggregates personal information from public records, social media, and other sources. It publishes your full name, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social media profiles, age, and location history. Removal requests are processed through the BeenVerified opt-out portal. 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 state of residence ready – the search form requires it.
PeopleSmart.com processes all removal requests through the BeenVerified opt-out portal. You can reach it via the PeopleSmart footer or directly by URL.
Go to https://www.beenverified.com/app/optout/search, or visit PeopleSmart.com and click "Do Not Sell My Personal Info" in the footer.
The opt-out portal searches the BeenVerified database for profiles matching your name and state. State is required to narrow results – the form will not proceed without it.
Enter your first name, last name, and state, then click Search.
The search results display profiles matching your name and state. Identify the one that belongs to you based on the address and age shown, then click the opt-out button for that specific record.
Find your matching profile in the results and click the green Proceed to Opt Out button on that record.
After clicking Proceed to Opt Out, a form appears asking for your email address and a CAPTCHA. This triggers the verification email. The removal is not processed until you click the link in that email.
Enter a disposable email address, complete the CAPTCHA, and click Send Verification Email.
BeenVerified sends a confirmation email immediately after you submit the form. Clicking the link inside it is the final step. Your removal will not be processed without this verification.
Open the email from BeenVerified and click the Verify Opt Out link. Check your spam folder if it does not arrive within 5 minutes.
Neither PeopleSmart nor BeenVerified sends a removal confirmation. Check both sites manually after the processing window to verify your records are no longer visible.
After 24 to 72 hours, search your name on PeopleSmart.com and BeenVerified.com. If your profiles no longer appear on either site, the removal was successful.
