How to Opt Out of TruthFinder & Remove Your Info (2026)
Step-by-step guide to opting out of TruthFinder and the PeopleConnect network — remove your background report, then stay off with automatic, recurring removal.
TruthFinder is a widely advertised background-check service in the PeopleConnect network (with Intelius, Instant Checkmate, US Search and PeopleSmart). It compiles your name, contact details, address history, relatives, and public records into a paid report. If you'd rather not be searchable there, you can opt out for free — and because it's a network, one request can reach several sites.
First, find where you're listed
Run a free personal-data exposure report to confirm you're on TruthFinder and to reveal the 1,000+ other brokers listing you, so you can address them together.
How to opt out of TruthFinder, step by step
- Go to truthfinder.com/opt-out (it routes into PeopleConnect's suppression portal at suppression.peopleconnect.us).
- Search your name and select the listing that matches you.
- Submit the suppression request and provide a confirmation email.
- Click the verification link in the email to finalize.
- Check the other PeopleConnect brands (Intelius, Instant Checkmate) to confirm you're suppressed there too.
Suppression doesn't last forever
Because PeopleConnect brands refresh from public records, a TruthFinder listing you remove today can reappear months later. A one-time opt-out steadily loses effect.
Stay off automatically — FaceSeek's recurring opt-out
TruthFinder is one of more than a thousand brokers, and re-checking each by hand is unsustainable. FaceSeek provides automatic, recurring removal: it files opt-outs across the entire broker registry, then re-scans monthly and automatically re-files anything — TruthFinder and its network included — that resurfaces. Nothing to submit, nothing to remember.
- Free, guided: use your exposure report and the ranked removal plan, each site with a direct opt-out link.
- Automatic & recurring (done-for-you): FaceSeek files and keeps re-filing across every broker, month after month.
Opt out of TruthFinder today, and let recurring monitoring keep the whole network from re-listing you. For the complete approach, see our guide to removing your personal information from the internet.
Frequently asked questions
Is TruthFinder opt-out free?
Yes. TruthFinder offers a free opt-out. As part of the PeopleConnect network, its suppression request can also cover related sites, and no paid account is required.
Where do I opt out of TruthFinder?
Through TruthFinder's opt-out at truthfinder.com/opt-out, which routes into the shared PeopleConnect suppression portal (suppression.peopleconnect.us). You find your listing, submit, and confirm by email.
Does TruthFinder removal cover Intelius and Instant Checkmate?
It can, partly — TruthFinder, Intelius, Instant Checkmate, US Search and PeopleSmart share PeopleConnect's suppression system, so one request may suppress several. Verify each brand individually to be sure.
Will TruthFinder relist me?
Yes, potentially. PeopleConnect rebuilds from public records, so a suppressed report can return later. Automatic monthly re-filing is the dependable way to stay removed.
