The USPhoneBook website is one of many data broker sites that gathers and publishes personal information when a user searches for an individual.

  • Reverse phone number lookup
  • First and last name
  • Street address

  • Full name
  • Age
  • Current street address
  • Previous street addresses

  • Email addresses
  • Relatives

There are a lot of reasons to want to remove your personal information from USPhoneBook and other data brokers.

Even worse, when someone gets ahold of your personal information, you’re at a higher risk of identity theft. Additionally, if there’s inaccurate information about you online, it could cause serious damage to your online reputation. That can have negative effects on your life and your professional pursuits.

In this guide, we’re walk you through each step of the USPhoneBook opt out process to submit a removal request.

While performing a USPhoneBook opt out is a great first step to keeping your private info, phone numbers, and other contact details inaccessible, it’s still likely that your personal information will show up in a Google Search.

USPhoneBook is far from the only data broker site online. People search websites constantly scrape the internet for phone numbers and other personal information, and it’s highly likely that your data is on multiple other sites at the moment.
