How do I remove myself from Whitepages?

Find your Whitepages profile, copy its URL, and submit a free suppression request on Whitepages' form. The automated flow requires phone verification.1 If you prefer not to give a phone number, Whitepages' consumer privacy rights notice offers an email or webform route.2 Opt-out requests "may take up to 15 days to process," and listings can return when source data updates.2

Frequently asked questions

Why does it want to call me?

Whitepages' automated consumer form uses phone verification: you enter a number, Whitepages places a call, and you enter the four-digit code displayed on screen. It is how the form confirms the request belongs to you.

Do I have to give them my phone number?

No. Whitepages' consumer privacy rights notice says that if you would prefer not to provide a phone number, you can instead email privacyrequest@whitepages.com or submit its privacy webform, both of which say to allow up to two business days for a reply. That route is easy to miss, because the suppression form doesn't mention it.

Does Whitepages put my data back?

It can, when updated source data arrives or another name or address variation exists. Recheck and resubmit if needed. Whitepages also notes that cached copies in search engine results can take up to 30 days to clear separately.

Does this clear Spokeo or BeenVerified?

No. Unrelated brokers need their own opt-outs. Whitepages does say that once a listing is removed, connected listings it knows about are removed too, which covers sites it operates, such as 411.com.

Is it free, and what does Delist do differently?

It is free: Whitepages states you do not have to create an account or make a purchase to submit an opt-out. Doing it yourself means completing that form and verifying. Delist's free scan checks the open-web footprint we check (signals are not listings), and paid help can include authorized Whitepages and other supported removals plus re-checks. It is not dump removal.
