Ask to remove your name from our results
If you appear in Deep Search results and want to opt out, tell us here. It is free and you don't need an account.
Reports are built from public web pages each time someone searches, so the pages themselves stay online. Tell us the name as it appears in results and the links you want reviewed. We reply by email.
What happens after you ask
We review each Deep Search opt-out request by checking the name and links you sent against our results. Then we write back to the email address you gave us.
A few details help us find the right person:
- The name exactly as it appears in results, with any middle name or initial.
- The links that concern you most, one per line.
- If your name is common, the company or city shown next to it, under "Anything else we should know".
What we can remove, and what we can't
When you ask us to remove your name, we can only change what Deep Search shows. The pages we find belong to other sites, so to take a page off the web, contact the site that published it.
- What we review: your name in our results and the public pages our reports cite.
- What we can't reach: the original pages, and reports someone saved before your request. Saved reports stay in that person's browser, where we can't see or change them.
- What we already leave out: email addresses, phone numbers and messaging links. Deep Search removes them from every result before anyone sees it.
Removing pages from search engines
Even after you opt out of people search sites, the same pages can still appear in search engines. A search engine can hide a result, but the page itself stays online.
Google's personal information removal page lets you ask it to remove results that show personal details, such as contact information. Bing's content removal tool handles pages that have changed or gone offline but still appear in its results. It asks you to log in first.
Your data rights
Data protection law may give you a right to have information about you deleted. In the UK, the ICO explains your right to get your data deleted and when it applies. Our privacy policy covers what we collect and why, and our terms of service set out how Deep Search may be used.
Our guide on whether it is legal to look someone up explains what the law allows and why Deep Search is not a background check. Other questions are answered on the help page.
Opt-out questions
No. A Deep Search opt-out request is free. You don't need an account or a subscription to send one.
No. Deep Search doesn't host those pages, so we can't take them down. Only the site that published a page can remove or correct it.
To opt out of people search sites beyond ours, ask each one directly, through its own removal page if it has one. A Deep Search opt-out covers Deep Search only.
No. Deep Search doesn't notify anyone when their name is searched, and it never publishes pages about anyone.
