Good to know

No account is required and the opt-out is free.
The form asks for personal details to match your record - provide the values as they appear in your listing.
An email alternative (optout@thatsthem.com) exists if the web form does not work for you.

ThatsThem repopulates from ongoing public-records and data-partner feeds, so listings can reappear later - re-search periodically and re-submit if a new record shows up.

ThatsThem opt-out questions

How do I remove my name from ThatsThem?

Open ThatsThem's opt-out page at thatsthem.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 ThatsThem opt-out take?

Submitting the request takes about 5 minutes. After that, ThatsThem typically removes the listing within typically within 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 ThatsThem opt-out permanent?

Not reliably. ThatsThem repopulates from ongoing public-records and data-partner feeds, so listings can reappear later - re-search periodically and re-submit if a new record shows up. 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 ThatsThem?

No. ThatsThem'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 ThatsThem?

Yes. ThatsThem'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 ThatsThem show about me?

A typical ThatsThem listing can include full name and age, street address, city, state, and ZIP, phone numbers and email addresses, household members and relatives, and iP and device data (in some records). Exactly what appears varies by person and by how much of it has reached public records.

Why does ThatsThem 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 ThatsThem a live inbox. The confirmation link often lands in spam, and on most brokers it expires within a day or two.
