How to Remove Your Personal Information from Intelius: Intelius Opt Out Guide

Is your personal information exposed on Intelius, putting your privacy at risk? Intelius aggregates data from public records and online sources into detailed profiles that anyone can easily access. However, you can opt-out and remove your information from their database. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the Intelius opt-out process, helping you regain control over your digital footprint. Let’s dive in.

Understanding Intelius and Its Data Collection Practices

Intelius is a data broker that compiles comprehensive profiles of individuals by accessing public records and social media profiles. Users can search the Intelius site by entering a name, phone number, email address, or physical address to access sensitive information such as:

• Full names and aliases
• Current and past addresses
• Phone numbers
• Email addresses
• Names of relatives and associates
• Age and date of birth
• Criminal records
• Social media profiles

The issue with Intelius is that it collects and displays this personal information without consent, potentially exposing you to privacy risks like identity theft, stalking, and reputational damage. To protect yourself, it’s essential to opt out of Intelius and remove your personal details from their records.
