To remove yourself from Intelius, submit the official opt-out request at www.intelius.com (Web form (PeopleConnect suppression); takes about ~72 hours, difficulty: Easy).

Why removing yourself from Intelius matters
On Intelius, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull background report data: contact info, address history, relatives, and public records. 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 Intelius listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of Intelius is quick and straightforward — it works via web form (PeopleConnect suppression), and removals usually process in ~72 hours. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws Intelius has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Most people finish it in just a few minutes.
