How to remove yourself from Councilon
Councilon is a people-search site in the Radaris family that compiles profiles from public records and social sources. Removal is done through a Control Profile option on your own listing, followed by an emailed confirmation. The flow is free but requires locating the exact profile that belongs to you.

Why removing yourself from Councilon matters
On Councilon, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull full name, phone numbers, address history, relatives, and aggregated public-record and social data. That is more than enough to target you with spam and phishing, fuel robocalls, or in the worst cases enable stalking, doxxing or identity theft. Removing your Councilon listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of Councilon is fairly straightforward, with one extra verification step — it works via on-site Control Profile form + email confirmation, and removals usually process in 10-15 min. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws Councilon has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Have your details ready for the verification step, then re-check in a few weeks to make sure the listing stayed down.
