Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my information on FreePeopleDirectory?
FreePeopleDirectory is a data broker, it compiles information like contact info, address history, relatives from public records and other sources and makes it searchable. This is generally legal in the US; data brokers aren’t required to get your permission before listing publicly available information. That doesn’t mean you have to leave it there.
Does FreePeopleDirectory require a CAPTCHA or account to opt out?
No CAPTCHA is required for this opt-out. No account or sign-up is required to submit a removal request.
Will I get a confirmation?
FreePeopleDirectory does not require email confirmation to complete the removal.
How long does removal take?
FreePeopleDirectory does not state a specific processing timeframe. It’s worth checking back after a week or two to confirm your listing is gone.
Is this a one-time fix?
No. Data brokers continually re-collect public records, so listings can reappear over months. Repeating this process periodically, or using an automated removal service that monitors and re-submits on your behalf, is the only way to keep it off long-term.
Prefer not to do this manually for every broker? Services like Incogni, DeleteMe, and Optery automate this same process across hundreds of data brokers and re-check periodically. We compare them honestly in our Comparisons
section, but the free method above works just as well if you’re only dealing with a handful of sites.
