Opt-out guide
How to opt out of CocoFinder and remove your name
CocoFinder is one of the few brokers here whose own removal page is readable without tripping a bot block, so the details below come straight from the source rather than from a third-party guide. It is also unusually explicit that removal is free, needs no membership, and completes in 24 to 48 hours.
Wondering whether CocoFinder is even legitimate first? Read our honest CocoFinder check for what it is, what regulators have said about it, and what it exposes.
What CocoFinder exposes
- Full name and age
- Address history
- Phone numbers

Step-by-step removal
- 1
Open the removal page
Go to cocofinder.com/remove-my-info, which explains the process before asking for anything.
- 2
Open the removal form
The page links out to a form where the request is submitted. No account or payment is required at any point.
- 3
Submit your details
Complete the form with the details of the listing you want removed.
- 4
Wait 24 to 48 hours
CocoFinder states it tries to approve requests as soon as they arrive, and that the average completion time is between 24 and 48 hours.
- 5
Verify with a cleared cache
After 48 hours, clear your browser cache and search for yourself again. A cached page can make a completed removal look like a failure.

Good to know
- CocoFinder states plainly that removal is completely free and that no membership is needed. If anything asks you to pay, you are not on its removal page.
- It also allows a third party to request removal on someone's behalf with that person's written authorisation, which is worth knowing if you are helping a relative.
- Questions go to support@cocofinder.com.
- The clear-your-cache step is genuinely the most common reason people think a removal failed.
Removal clears the record held at the time. Public-record refreshes can rebuild a listing later, so re-search your name every few months.
