How to remove yourself from PeopleLooker
PeopleLooker is a background-check service in the BeenVerified family, with listings that mirror BeenVerified’s. The opt-out is the same quick, self-service flow: find your record, request removal, confirm by email.
To remove yourself from PeopleLooker, submit the official opt-out request at www.peoplelooker.com (Web form + email confirmation; takes about ~24 hours, difficulty: Easy). Removal is free — you never have to pay a broker to take your listing down. Brokers re-scrape public records, so re-check in a few months or use monitoring that re-removes new listings automatically.

Why removing yourself from PeopleLooker matters
On PeopleLooker, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull contact info, address history, relatives, and social/employment 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 PeopleLooker listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of PeopleLooker is quick and straightforward — it works via web form + email confirmation, and removals usually process in ~24 hours. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws PeopleLooker has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Most people finish it in just a few minutes.
