I just want to say.Tonight after several hours due due a wrong number calling me,i happened to find all my info on the web,and because of your web site i was able to remove all my info per every web site that you listed.thank you so much..

EDITOR'S NOTE: Sorry, you're barking up the wrong tree. I suggest you read the article on which you have commented.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I can't see why that puzzles you. If you post to an online forum, and give your full name, you should expect that it will be published (just like with a letter to the newspaper editor) -- and that a Google search would find it. I will modify your name for this and the other posting you made, but you'll have to use initials or a fake name in the future.

What troubles me is how this editor thinks the good outweighs the bad. He's naive.

EDITOR'S NOTE: What troubles me is people who make judgments based on opinion.

My concern about being publicly listed is that I have lately been getting mail for other people who share my name regarding very important things e.g. student loans that aren't actually mine because some companies seem to do a national "sweep" of the name they are looking for when the original contact info they have is deemed invalid. I've gone ahead and requested that my info be removed from the sites you listed, but since you mentioned that phone directies update their databases quarterly, I take it thst removing my contact info will be an ongoing process unless I get a new, unlisted number. Correct?

How can I ensure that my address is not online anywhere? My job is a little bit shady and I do not want anyone to be able to locate me via my name.

Someone has posted my number on the internet as a girl's number and I am fed up with the calls ive been recieving, please help me out by explaining how to delete my number from there. Thanx ...

Thanks for all the sites I need to visit to get my info removed. I'll get on to that today.

I have always had an unlisted number and it is online and attached to my name and address. I think companies I buy from must sell the information.

Sending an email to webmaster@switchboard.com bounces back. Apparently that doesn't work.

Lots of these sites you have to pay to see your phone listing in their database.

In other words, you have to register on the site that has the listing for your phone number. Then you do the search for your phone number, then look for the edit/remove if it's there to delete that phone number.

Some sites will have you opt-out or fax that information to them.

I went through all of this removing my address from the internet. Now I have to go through all this again to remove my cell phone number from the internet.

Ok, this info is useful, BUT... The very act of typing in your name, address, and/or phone number is going to LINK YOU via your I.P. Number and ISP service to all this info, so you are only giving away MORE info every time you try to OPT OUT of these snoop services. Further, many of the services, like zabasearch.com and ancestry.com and reunion.com, etc., will DEMAND even MORE info from you before they will "consider" removing your private information that they've harvested without your permission or knowledge and are providing to others, for a fee, or for free. Many want a copy of your driver license! (i.e., now they have your likeness in their databases too). Some will demand copies of your birth certificate or marriage license! Their gall is unlimited.

There have to be more LAWS & PENALTIES for violating our privacy before any of this will be effective--not too likely, given that powerful lobbyists are who drives this constant eroding of our privacy in America.

PS It helps to mention "lawsuit" when you contact the snoops and demand that they remove your info... Good luck.

P.S. Thanks for the nice Confirmation page to let us know our comment was received.

P.P.S. Ancestry.com actually indexes and makes public people's DIVORCE records on their site, and it's searchable via google. This goes beyond the pale and should be illegal. That kind of stalking is not what "public records" were ever intended for. In this internet age, it is way too easy to violate people's privacy and boundaries, jeopardizing their security and peace of mind.

I have a new phone with a re-cycled number. The company that had the number is no longer in business. Their ads are still everywhere on the net and I am getting inundated with calls for this business. I went to the appropriate site on Google to delete the number and an error message keeps coming up stating url not on this server. I have tried computers at work, home, and friends. Same message. You even do reverse directory and the business comes up. PLEASE HELP ME!

Thanks for the useful information, I tried to delete my phone number from all these catalogs, but then I realized - there are so many of them on the Internet that I'm going to need a whole week to check all of them. Still, the pages you have listed are the most important ones, another suggestions to look up and remove personal information are YELP.com, http://www.showmelocal.com and yellowpages.com.

as ususal with advice from the web - the link http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/pbremoval.html is dead like this advice - lame lame lame

EDITOR'S NOTE: Thanks for letting me know. Google no longer maintains a phone book, so that link is no longer needed.

Can you help me remove my info from a website called "ypstate.com"? I cant seem to find anywhere on their site to opt out. They say i can send an email to them, but then they will have my email address too, right?
thanks!

How do i remove my number from website
