To opt out of FastPeopleSearch, go to fastpeoplesearch.com/removal, locate the listing that matches you, and confirm the deletion request. The whole process takes about five minutes. Your profile can come back after a future data refresh, so plan to check again later rather than treating one submission as permanent.
Find Every Listing That Belongs to You
Start on fastpeoplesearch.com and search your full name with your city and state. The site often stores more than one profile for the same person under slight name or address variations, so scroll the full list of results. Each profile is treated as independent, and each one you want gone will need its own removal request.
Open a matching profile and read it carefully. Confirm the phone numbers, addresses, and associated names actually belong to you and not to someone with a similar name. Jot down how many distinct profiles you find so you don’t have to repeat the search between submissions.
Submit the Removal Request
Go to fastpeoplesearch.com/removal. The same link sits in the footer of the site’s main pages. The form asks for your name and email, and you have to agree to the terms of use before continuing.
Complete the CAPTCHA to prove you’re not a bot, then click through to begin the removal. The site walks you through a search to pull up your specific listing. Find the correct profile, click to remove your record, and wait for the confirmation screen.
Some versions of the flow send a verification email you need to click to finalize the deletion. Check your inbox and your spam folder in the minutes after you submit. If nothing arrives, the CAPTCHA step alone may have been enough. Either way, don’t close the tab until you see a confirmation message on screen.
If you found multiple profiles in the first step, repeat the removal for each one. Removing a single profile does not touch the others.
Confirm the Removal Worked
FastPeopleSearch usually processes removals within 24 hours. Some users report it taking up to 72 hours. During that window the profile can still show on the site and in cached results on Google or Bing.
To check, open an incognito or private browsing window and search your name on FastPeopleSearch again. A private window keeps your browser from loading a cached copy of the old page. If the profile is still there after 72 hours, look at whether it’s actually a duplicate you missed the first time, and submit the request again if it isn’t. Keep any confirmation email as a record of the original request.
Clear Cached Results on Google and Bing
Even after the site removes your profile, Google and Bing may keep displaying a cached snapshot for days or weeks. You don’t have to wait for them to catch up.
Google has a personal information removal form where you submit the URLs of pages that still show your data. The form is at support.google.com/websearch/answer/9673730. Google reviews the request and drops qualifying results from its index.1Google. Remove My Private Info From Google Search
For Bing, use Microsoft’s Content Removal Tool at bing.com/webmasters/tools/contentremoval. It works best once FastPeopleSearch has already deleted the underlying page, because Bing can then verify the content is gone and remove it from results.2Microsoft. Content Removal – Bing Webmaster Tools
When Your Profile Comes Back
FastPeopleSearch pulls from public records on a rolling basis. When the site refreshes its database, your information can be re-imported and a new profile built even after a clean removal. There is no permanent one-time fix.
The practical answer is to check about once a month and file another removal whenever the listing reappears. Paid data-removal services will monitor people-search sites on your behalf and resubmit opt-outs when profiles resurface. They charge a subscription but save time if you’re managing removals across many brokers.
FastPeopleSearch is one of dozens of people-search sites that may hold your data. If privacy is a serious concern, search your name on Spokeo, WhitePages, BeenVerified, and TruePeopleSearch as well, and opt out of each individually.
Legal Rights That Back Up Your Request
California’s Consumer Privacy Act gives residents the right to ask businesses to delete personal information they’ve collected, and it carries administrative fines for violations.3State of California – Department of Justice – Office of the Attorney General. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) As of early 2026, twenty states have comprehensive privacy laws in effect, with Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island among those whose laws took effect on January 1, 2026. The specifics vary, but most include rights to access, delete, and opt out of the sale of personal data.
Starting August 1, 2026, California’s Delete Act requires data brokers doing business in the state to process deletion requests through a centralized platform called DROP (Delete Request and Opt-out Platform). California residents will be able to submit a single request through DROP, and every registered data broker must process it within 45 days. Brokers that don’t delete face fines of $200 per day per consumer plus enforcement costs.4California Privacy Protection Agency. Data Brokers – Privacy.ca.gov Until DROP is fully live, direct opt-outs on the FastPeopleSearch removal page remain the working route.
