PeopleConnect’s people-search services can display full names, ages, current and past addresses, phone numbers, relatives, and public-record information. The amount shown varies by person and service.
What is PeopleConnect?
PeopleConnect operates Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and US Search, plus the separate Classmates social network. Its Suppression Center manages name-search Background Reports on the four named people-search services. PeopleConnect explicitly excludes Classmates from this tool.
PeopleConnect 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. All without any verification of who is searching, or why.
What data PeopleConnect has on you
A PeopleConnect profile can include a surprisingly detailed picture of your life. Here is what they typically display:
- full name
- age and date of birth
- current and past addresses, often going back 10 to 20 years
- phone numbers, landline and mobile, sourced from commercial providers and public records
- email addresses, often going back 10 to 20 years
- possible relatives and associates, family members and known associates, often with links to their profiles
- criminal and traffic records, arrests, convictions, and court filings where available
- court records
- property records, ownership, estimated value, and neighborhood data
- social media profiles, across major platforms including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram
- education and employment history
- photos
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, PeopleConnect has enough to paint a detailed picture.

How long does PeopleConnect removal take?
PeopleConnect does not publish a guaranteed processing time for the suppression tool. After saving the rule, recheck name-search results on the four named services and contact PeopleConnect if your Background Report is still available.
The catch: your data comes back
The most important thing to understand about PeopleConnect removal: it is temporary.
Suppression covers name-search results only. Phone, address, and email lookup results may still show your data. Data may reappear if new public records are ingested that don't match the suppressed identity. Registered sex offender records are never suppressed. Classmates.com is excluded from suppression scope.
Suppression on PeopleConnect does not remove the source public records or affect unrelated companies. Recheck the covered name-search services periodically and contact PeopleConnect if a Background Report remains available.
This is the part Delist handles. PeopleConnect is one of several broker networks that may expose personal information. Delist finds eligible listings, files the applicable requests, and checks again for exposed records.
See what PeopleConnect shows about you →What PeopleConnect's opt-out does not cover
- Unrelated brokers are not affected. The PeopleConnect rule covers name-search Background Reports on Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and US Search. It does not affect Whitepages, BeenVerified, Spokeo, or other companies.
- Cached copies may persist. Google and other search engines may cache your PeopleConnect 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, PeopleConnect 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 PeopleConnect'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. Recheck periodically and contact PeopleConnect if a name-search Background Report remains available after suppression.
Document the request. Screenshot the confirmation page and save the confirmation email. Useful if you ever need to prove you requested removal.
Frequently asked questions
How long does PeopleConnect take to remove my information?
PeopleConnect does not publish a guaranteed processing time. Recheck Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and US Search after saving your suppression rule.
Does PeopleConnect put my data back after I opt out?
Suppression covers name-search Background Reports only. Phone, address, and email lookups, certain public-record features, or data that does not match the suppressed identity may still appear.
Is the PeopleConnect opt-out free?
Yes. PeopleConnect's opt-out process is free. You do not need to pay or create an account to request removal of your listing.
What's the difference between PeopleConnect and intelius.com?
Intelius is one of the PeopleConnect people-search services explicitly covered by the central suppression tool. The rule applies to name-search Background Reports, not every Intelius feature or user-account record.
Do I have to opt out of PeopleConnect if I use Delist?
No. Delist can manage eligible PeopleConnect suppression work alongside the other broker removals included in your plan, and it keeps checking for exposed listings.
