Opt-out guide

How to opt out of ZabaSearch and remove your name

15 minutes hard difficultyLast verified August 1, 2026

ZabaSearch removals run through the PeopleConnect Suppression Center, the same portal that covers Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate and US Search. That is good news and bad news: one pass can clear several sites, but this is the heaviest opt-out in the people-search category, asking for your date of birth and legal name before it will show you anything.

ZabaSearch's opt-out requests are processed on PeopleConnect's system, so one request can cover more than one site. Check both afterwards rather than assuming.

Open ZabaSearch's opt-out page

Good to know

One PeopleConnect suppression covers the whole family of sites, so do this before working through Intelius, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate or US Search separately.
Handing over a date of birth to opt out is a genuine cost. It is the trade this particular portal demands, and it is worth doing once for several sites rather than repeatedly.

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.

ZabaSearch opt-out questions

How do I remove my name from ZabaSearch?

Open ZabaSearch's opt-out page at suppression.peopleconnect.us, 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 15 minutes and costs nothing. The step-by-step version is above.

How long does the ZabaSearch opt-out take?

Submitting the request takes about 15 minutes. After that, ZabaSearch typically removes the listing within up 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 ZabaSearch 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 ZabaSearch?

No. ZabaSearch'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 ZabaSearch?

Yes. ZabaSearch'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 ZabaSearch show about me?

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

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