How to opt out of Neighbor Who

  1. 1

    Open the opt-out page

    Go to NeighborWho's opt-out page. You don't have to be a member or create an account.

  2. 2

    Find your record

    Search the database and select the record that's yours.

  3. 3

    Verify by email

    NeighborWho sends a verification email. Click the link in it to confirm the opt-out.

  4. 4

    Opt out of Property Search too

    Property Search has its own opt-out at neighborwho.com/svc/optout/search/optouts/property. It removes details about your identity and your link to the property, though facts about the property may stay.

  5. 5

    Email for more than one record

    The online process removes only one People Search record. For more, contact privacy@neighborwho.com.

Watch out for

  • The People Search opt-out only applies to People Search. Your name can still appear in other search services on NeighborWho.
  • NeighborWho says it can only remove records from its own site. Your information may appear on other websites.
  • Covered persons under Daniel's Law and people outside the U.S. have separate email routes, listed on the opt-out FAQ page.

What Neighbor Who holds about you

  • Full name and aliases
  • Current address
  • Phone numbers
  • Relatives
  • Age and date of birth

What Neighbor Who is known to collect, not a check of your listing.

Does it come back?

NeighborWho says it has accommodated opt-out and do-not-sell requests for public information for many years, but doesn't publish a relisting policy. Search your name again every few months.

Your rights

NeighborWho's privacy policy covers opt-out and do-not-sell requests for public information.

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.

General information, not legal advice.
