How to delete your personal info. from the internet
image credit: Techliciousblog
Galido.net shows everyone how to opt out of 31 top people search databases:
Intelius – https://www.intelius.com/optout.php
Intelius requires you to scan valid gov't identification to prove your identity. Intelius claims, they won’t publish your driver’s license but they'll remove your listing if you submit an ID. Don’t forget to cross out your photo and driver’s license number.
Spokeo – http://www.spokeo.com/privacy
All you have to do is copy your Spokeo URL and they’ll send you an email to confirm the deletion. Note: Spokeo is only an aggregator, so deleting your Spokeo listing won’t delete your information from the sites Spokeo is pulling from.
Instacheckmate – https://www.instantcheckmate.com/optout/
If you do not want us to share your Personal Information with any third parties, please email them at privacy@instantcheckmate.com or select the "opt out" box on our online forms. (see the video, below)
Archives – http://www.archives.com/?_act=Optout
Simply fill out the form and you’re all set.
Poedit– http://poedit.org/auth/removal_request.html
Simply fill out the form and you’re all set.
Peoplesmart – https://www.peoplesmart.com/optout
Simply fill out the form and you’re all set.
Zabasearch – http://www.zabasearch.com/block_records/
Another site from the same people who run Intelius that requires you to fax a copy of your driver’s license to 425-974-6194. Again, remember to cross out your photo and your license number.
Peoplefinders – http://www.peoplefinders.com/manage
Simply fill out the form and you’re all set.
Pipl – Pipl is different since it’s a ‘meta’ site aggregator. From the fine folks at unlistmy.info:
Unfortunately, since Pipl.com aggregates information from all sorts of places on the web, there are no clear opt-out instructions. They claim that, since the information they gather is public, they reserve the right to display it in their listings without giving users the option of opting out.
This attitude towards privacy just doesn’t seem right. We suggest sending them an email asking to be removed from their search results: mail@pipl.com. Let us know if you have any luck!
BeenVerified
If you wish to delete your BeenVerified Opt-Out account, please send them an email at privacy@beenverified.com.
Send Been Verified the following information:
1.First & last name with middle initial
2.Aliases & AKAs
3.Current address
4.Age & DOB
Or try out this optout form https://www.beenverified.com/faq/opt-out/. Then you have to confirm via email. Check out this reddit link for more info.
MyLife – from their privacy policy:
“To request that a Member Profile or Public Profile be deleted, please contact Customer Care at 1-888-704-1900 or contact us by email at privacy@mylife.com. Upon receipt of these requests, and confirmation that you are requesting that your own profile be removed, please allow MyLife 10 business days to complete this removal. It may be necessary to contact you to validate that you are the profile owner requesting the removal. This is to ensure the correct identity and profile ownership before completing these requests, and is for the protection of our users and their privacy.”
Yasni
Yasni is simply a meta aggregator. You must find your other public record listings to get deleted from Yasni. Click here to read Yasni's privacy page.

Spoke – https://getsatisfaction.com/spoke/to...ove_my_profile
Another secondary aggregator, Spoke lets you submit data you’d like suppressed through their contact form. They also recommend you directly contact public records sources and get your information protected at the source.
LexisNexis – http://www.lexisnexis.com/privacy/fo...exisnexis.aspx
LexisNexis allows you to opt out only if you’re a public facing official, an identity theft victim, or facing serious threat of harm or injury. They require proper legal documentation of any of those criteria in order to remove your information. If you meet the criteria, submit your removal request here.
