Most relevant if this is you: Privacy for families
IDTrue sells access to personal data on millions of Americans: full name, age/DOB, current and past addresses, phone numbers. The free preview confirms your identity. The paid report hands over the dossier. No verification of who is searching or why.
What is IDTrue?
A people-search/background-check directory that aggregates public records into searchable profiles including addresses, phones, and relatives.
IDTrue mainly surfaces information most people do not realize is publicly available. A single search reveals your home address, the names of your family members, and your approximate age, without any verification of who is searching, or why.
What data IDTrue has on you
An IDTrue profile can include a surprisingly detailed picture of your life. Here is what they typically display:
- full name
- age/DOB
- 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, IDTrue has enough to paint a detailed picture.

How to opt out of IDTrue: step by step
- Go to idtrue.com and use the footer 'Opt Out & Removal' link

How long does IDTrue removal take?
After you complete the opt-out, IDTrue typically processes removals within 24-72 hours (some sources up to 3 weeks).
The catch: your data comes back
The most important thing to understand about IDTrue removal: it is temporary.
Records re-ingested from public sources; a removal bot reportedly re-runs periodically. Search-engine cache lags. 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. Your information is rarely on just one site — Delist finds where you are exposed across the brokers that are live, 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 IDTrue does nothing to Whitepages, BeenVerified, Radaris, 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 IDTrue 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, IDTrue 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 IDTrue'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.
Document the request. Screenshot the confirmation page and save the confirmation email. Useful if you ever need to prove you requested removal.
