BeenVerified Opt Out Guide: Follow These 7 Steps

BeenVerified is a popular data broker website that collects and sells personal information about individuals online. The site aggregates data from various public records, social media platforms, and other sources to create detailed profiles on people, which are then made available to anyone willing to pay for access.

The information compiled by BeenVerified can include:

  • Full name
  • Age and date of birth
  • Current and previous addresses
  • Phone numbers
  • Email addresses
  • Social media profiles
  • Criminal records
  • Court records
  • Bankruptcies
  • Professional licenses
  • Relatives and associates

While BeenVerified claims its service is useful for things like reconnecting with old friends or researching online dates, the reality is that having your personal information so easily accessible can pose serious risks to your privacy and security. Bad actors may use data broker sites like BeenVerified to engage in identity theft, stalking, harassment, or other malicious activities.

If you value your online privacy and want to minimize your digital footprint, opting out of BeenVerified is an important step. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of removing your personal information from BeenVerified’s database.

How to Remove Yourself from BeenVerified

Follow these steps to opt out of BeenVerified and have your personal information removed from their website:

  1. Visit BeenVerified’s opt-out page at https://www.beenverified.com/app/optout/search.
  2. Enter your name and state into the search bar and click “Search” to locate your listing.
  3. Click the “Proceed to Opt Out” button next to your listing in the search results.
  4. On the next page, enter your email address and complete the CAPTCHA verification. We recommend using a temporary or disposable email address for this step to avoid receiving unwanted marketing messages from BeenVerified.
  5. Check your email inbox for a verification message from BeenVerified. Click the “Verify Opt-Out” button within the email to confirm your request.
  6. You will be redirected to a confirmation page on BeenVerified’s website indicating that your opt-out request was successful. Your listing should be removed from their database within 24-72 hours.
