Remove the source too
Pipl only shows information from other websites. Once your details are gone from the source, a link to it should stop appearing in Pipl results, and most source sites will remove your information if you ask.
Watch out for
- Pipl says that many large online retailers use it to verify identity, so removing your data can mean extra identity confirmation when you shop online.
- Pipl says it has no effective way to apply an opt-out to information it discovers in the future, so you may need to submit again.
- A formal deletion or disclosure request under California law needs identity verification, sometimes including a picture ID, and Pipl can deny a request it reasonably believes is fraudulent.
- Removal from Pipl's index doesn't remove the original page it pointed to.

Does it come back?
It can. Pipl says it has no effective way to apply an opt-out to information it finds in future, so new removal requests may be needed as new information appears. Check your own results every few months.
