Sister sites
These are run by the same company. Removing yourself from RecordsFinder doesn't remove you from them, so check each one.
Does it come back?
RecordsFinder doesn't publish a relisting policy. Search your name again every few months, and after you move or change phone number.
Your rights
InfoPay is registered as a data broker in California, so California residents can ask it to delete their data and stop selling it.
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.
