How to remove yourself from PeopleSmart
PeopleSmart is a people-search brand now operated within the PeopleConnect network. Its records are standard contact-and-relatives listings, and removal uses the shared PeopleConnect suppression that can also clear sibling sites.
To remove yourself from PeopleSmart, submit the official opt-out request at www.peoplesmart.com (Web form (PeopleConnect suppression); takes about ~48 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 PeopleSmart matters
On PeopleSmart, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull contact information, address history, relatives and associates. 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 PeopleSmart listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of PeopleSmart is quick and straightforward — it works via web form (PeopleConnect suppression), and removals usually process in ~48 hours. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws PeopleSmart has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Most people finish it in just a few minutes.
