How to opt out of SpyFly and remove your name

5 minutes easy difficultyLast verified August 1, 2026

SpyFly's removal link sits under Customer Support rather than in a privacy menu, and the form asks for your age as part of the search. The removal is processed by Public Information Services, the operator named on the removal pages.

Good to know

The removal link lives under Customer Support, which is why it is hard to find from a privacy policy page.
Age is a required search field, so have the age shown on the listing rather than guessing.

Removal clears the records held at the time. New public-record and directory batches can rebuild a listing later, so re-search your name every few months and repeat the request for anything new.

SpyFly opt-out questions

How do I remove my name from SpyFly?

Open SpyFly's opt-out page at spyfly.com, find the listing that matches you, and submit the removal request. You then confirm the request by clicking a link that arrives by email. The whole process takes about 5 minutes and costs nothing. The step-by-step version is above.

How long does the SpyFly opt-out take?

Submitting the request takes about 5 minutes. After that, SpyFly typically removes the listing within 24 to 72 hours. If your profile is still visible after that window, search your name again - you may have a second listing that needs its own request.

Is the SpyFly opt-out permanent?

Not reliably. Removal clears the records held at the time. New public-record and directory batches can rebuild a listing later, so re-search your name every few months and repeat the request for anything new. Treat removal as maintenance rather than a one-time fix: re-search your name every few months and repeat the opt-out for anything new.

Do I need an account to opt out of SpyFly?

No. SpyFly's opt-out works without registering or signing in, and you never need to pay. If something asks you for card details to remove your data, you are not on the real opt-out page.

Is it free to remove my information from SpyFly?

Yes. SpyFly's opt-out is free, and so is every other major US people-search opt-out. Paid removal services are worth considering for the volume of sites they cover and the re-checking they do, but they file these same free requests on your behalf - they do not unlock anything you cannot do yourself.

What does SpyFly show about me?

A typical SpyFly listing can include full name and age, address history, phone numbers, relatives, and public records. Exactly what appears varies by person and by how much of it has reached public records.

Why does SpyFly need my email address to remove my data?

It uses the email only to confirm that the request came from you, which stops strangers from deleting each other's listings. Consider using an alias address if you would rather not hand SpyFly a live inbox. The confirmation link often lands in spam, and on most brokers it expires within a day or two.
