- 3

- 4
Enter your email and finish
The next page asks for your email address. Enter it and follow the final steps the site shows you.

Use the manual route if the form fails
The opt-out page says that if you have trouble, you can send a link to the page where your information appears and the site will remove it manually.
Watch out for
- Each profile has its own URL, so a request covers one profile at a time.
- The site says it publishes publicly available records only and doesn't collect, store or publish Social Security numbers, credit card numbers or bank account numbers.
- The site says it has no affiliation with the 2024 breach of its former owner, Jerico Pictures, Inc., which no longer operates it. That is the site's own statement. Opting out here doesn't change anything about data already exposed in that breach.
- A reported 2024 breach means your details may circulate elsewhere. Removing a listing here doesn't pull them back from those copies.

Does it come back?
The site doesn't say whether profiles come back. It publishes public records, and new records can create a profile your earlier request didn't cover, so search for yourself again every few months.
Your rights
California: CCPA. If you live in California, the CCPA lets you ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you and to stop selling or sharing it. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond.
California: the Delete Act. Data brokers that hold information on Californians must register with the state. California residents can use DROP, the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, to send one deletion request to every registered broker at once.
Other US states. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and a growing list of other states give residents a similar right to delete. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also make data brokers register with the state. Where no state law applies, the broker's own opt-out above still works for most people.

Frequently asked
Is National Public Data the site that was breached?

No. The opt-out removes a listing on this site. Data already exposed in the 2024 breach isn't something a removal form can pull back.
What do I need to opt out?
The URL of your profile on the site and an email address.
What if the form doesn't work?
The opt-out page says to send a link to the page where your information appears and the site will remove it manually.
