PeekYou Opt Out: Remove Your Profile From PeekYou (2026)

5 min read

Most people-search sites focus on addresses and phone numbers. PeekYou goes wider — it pulls together social media profiles, blog posts, news mentions, and public records into one profile, specifically trying to map your online identity. If you have a public Twitter account, a LinkedIn, a personal site, or any other public presence, PeekYou has probably linked them under your name.

What PeekYou Shows About You

  • Full name and age
  • Current city and state
  • Linked social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram)
  • Personal websites and blogs
  • News and press mentions
  • Phone numbers and email addresses
  • Relatives and associates
  • Username history across platforms

How to Opt Out of PeekYou: Step-by-Step

  1. Go to peekyou.com and search for your name.
  2. Find your profile in the results and click on it to open it.
  3. Copy the URL of your profile page from the browser address bar.
  4. Go to peekyou.com/about/contact/optout or search for "PeekYou opt out" to find their removal request form.
  5. Select "Remove my PeekYou profile" as the reason.
  6. Paste the URL of your profile and fill in your email address.
  7. Complete any CAPTCHA and submit the form.
  8. Check your inbox for a confirmation email and click the verification link.
  9. Your profile will be removed within 2–7 business days.

Removing Your Social Accounts From PeekYou

Opting out removes your PeekYou profile, but it doesn't change what's publicly visible on the platforms PeekYou pulled from. If your accounts are still public, PeekYou can crawl and re-index them. The more thorough fix is going through each platform's privacy settings and restricting what's publicly visible — that cuts off what PeekYou and sites like it can pick up on future passes.
