FindPeopleSearch sells access to personal data on millions of Americans: full name, age, current and past addresses, and phone numbers. The free preview confirms your identity. The paid report shows the full profile, with no check on who is searching or why.
What is FindPeopleSearch?
A people-search site that surfaces names, addresses, phones, and relatives drawn from public records.
What stands out about FindPeopleSearch is how much it surfaces that people do not realize is public. A single search shows your home address, your family members' names, and your approximate age, with no check on who is searching or why.
What data FindPeopleSearch has on you
A FindPeopleSearch profile can include a surprisingly detailed picture of your life. Here is what they typically display:
- full name
- age
- current and past addresses, often going back 10 to 20 years
- phone numbers, landline and mobile, sourced from commercial providers and public records
- relatives/associates, family members and known associates, often with links to their profiles
- public records
Not every profile contains all categories. Depth depends on what public records exist in your jurisdiction and how much commercial data has been linked to your identity. For most adults with any public record history, FindPeopleSearch has enough to paint a detailed picture.

The catch: your data comes back
The most important thing to understand about FindPeopleSearch removal: it is temporary.
Data can reappear; recheck periodically.
Data can return after an opt-out if the broker later ingests a new record. Whether and when that happens varies by company and source. Periodic checks can catch re-listings; a monitoring service can re-file when supported.
This is the part Delist handles. FindPeopleSearch is one of dozens of sites holding your information, and removals do not stay removed on their own. Delist finds where you are exposed, files each opt-out, and re-checks for re-listings — re-filing when your data comes back.

- Other brokers are not affected. Removing yourself from FindPeopleSearch does nothing to peoplefinders.com, or the dozens of other sites where your data is exposed. Each requires its own opt-out.
- Cached copies may persist. Google and other search engines may cache your FindPeopleSearch profile for days or weeks after it is removed. Use Google's content removal tool to request de-indexing.
- Multiple profiles may exist. If you have lived in multiple states, changed your name, or have multiple phone numbers, FindPeopleSearch may have built separate profiles for each variation. Search and opt out of each.
Tips for a successful opt-out
Use a dedicated email. Use an alias or a separate account for removal requests. Keeps your primary inbox out of FindPeopleSearch's system and keeps confirmation emails organized.
Search every angle. Do not just search by name. Try phone number and email too. You may have more than one listing.
Set a calendar reminder. Your data can return if the broker ingests new source records. Set a recurring reminder to re-check and re-submit. It is tedious but necessary if you are doing this manually.
Document the request. Screenshot the confirmation page and save the confirmation email. Useful if you ever need to prove you requested removal.
