How to remove yourself from LocateFamily

LocateFamily is a people-search company: its sites let anyone look up people by name, phone number or address. It is not on California's data broker registry, so California's DROP deletion platform does not reach it. You have to opt out on LocateFamily's own site. How DROP compares with data removal services.

Opt out of LocateFamily yourself

Start at LocateFamily's opt-out page: www.locatefamily.com/removal.html.

1. Find the LocateFamily page that shows your entry and click the grey garbage-can icon on that line.
2. If there is no garbage-can icon, use the Removal Request Form at locatefamily.com/removal2.html.
3. Enter your name, telephone number, a valid email address, the page URL (it must start with https://www.locatefamily.com) and the entry number or numbers, separated by commas. Send one form per page.
4. Use an email address that plausibly matches your name. LocateFamily rejects disposable addresses and addresses with "+" aliases. The form has a reCAPTCHA.
5. Watch for a confirmation message. If none arrives, check the rejected requests list at locatefamily.com/removal-errors.html.
6. Keep a copy of what you sent and the date. Search for your name on locatefamily.com again in a few weeks to check the listing is gone.
