How to remove yourself from Intelius

What Intelius asks for

• An email address (the flow starts with an email verification link) Third-party guide
• Your date of birth and legal name, used to find your record Third-party guide
• Access to an email or phone number that is already on your record, to receive a code. If you no longer have any, the self-serve flow can dead-end and you must contact the company Third-party guide
• No payment Third-party guide

Step-by-step: remove yourself from Intelius

1. Go to intelius.com/opt-out. When we looked, that address leads to suppression.peopleconnect.us, the PeopleConnect Suppression Center (link below). Tip: use an email address you can open immediately.
2. Enter your email, agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, and continue. Independent guides say a verification email arrives from [email protected] and its link expires after about 15 minutes.
3. Click the verification link, then enter your date of birth and legal name as the tool requests. Independent guides warn the date of birth cannot be changed once entered, so check it.
4. Choose your record from the matching results. Check the locations and aliases because common names produce many matches.
5. Verify the record is yours. Independent guides say you pick a partially masked email or phone number from your record, type the full value, request a code, and enter it.
6. Finally, set the record to Suppressed and save. Independent guides stress that verifying alone does not hide anything; the suppression setting must be changed and saved.
7. Search your name on Intelius a few days later. Independent guides say PeopleConnect's suppression also applies to its sister sites, so check those too.

What this will not do

• PeopleConnect's own Suppression Center page says the tool applies only to Public Data generated in response to a name search on the people-search sites in the PeopleConnect family. It does not apply to User Data on those sites or to other sites in the family such as Classmates.com.
• It also says your name and other information may still appear in phone, address or email reports, or on registered sex offender lists, and that suppression does not affect third-party sources.
• PeopleConnect says it may restrict or stop offering the tool if it detects abuse.

If something goes wrong

Intelius's privacy policy (last revised September 29, 2026) lists [email protected] and (888) 245-1655, Monday through Friday 7:00am to 4:00pm Pacific. Independent guides also cite [email protected] for records you cannot self-verify.

Other routes mentioned by Intelius

• California residents: Intelius's privacy policy says that as a registered data broker it processes deletion requests submitted through the California Privacy Protection Agency's DROP platform, but notes DROP does not apply to publicly available information and requests are processed in batches. It recommends also using its Privacy Center for public data suppression.
• Intelius's privacy policy also describes separate routes for judges, law enforcement officers and other covered persons, and a Washington cell-phone number option via (888) 245-1655.
