Does it come back?
PeopleLooker says a new record that can't be matched to your opted-out one may appear later, and you can ask for it to be removed too. Worth a check.
Your rights
Judges, prosecutors, police and their immediate family can email privacy@peoplelooker.com instead of using the form (Daniel's Law). People outside the US can send a data subject request to that address with their full name and the data to remove.
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.
