Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

You control how your details appear in public-records search. This page explains your right to opt out, how to request removal or suppression, and how we honor recognized opt-out signals. If you have used reverse-lookup tools like usphonebook, the same kind of control applies here.

Your Right to Opt Out

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar state laws, you can ask us not to sell or share your personal information. At USAPhonesBooks, we treat that right seriously, and you do not need an account, a payment, or a legal reason to use it.

Our service surfaces details that are already part of billions of publicly available US records. Opting out does not erase those records at their original source, but it does stop your information from appearing in our search results going forward.

If you have ever wanted a record pulled from a directory or a reverse-lookup site such as usphonebook, the process here works in a comparable way: you tell us who you are, and we suppress the matching listing.

How to Request Removal or Suppression

A short request form is available on this page. Using it is the fastest way to reach our privacy team, but the steps below explain what happens either way.

To remove a record or suppress it from search results, complete the form so we can locate the correct listing and confirm the request belongs to you. We only act on verified requests to protect people from having their data hidden or altered by someone else.

  • The full name shown on the record you want suppressed
  • A phone number, address, or city tied to that listing so we can match it accurately
  • A current email address where we can confirm receipt and completion
  • A brief note if you are an authorized agent acting on someone else's behalf

What Happens After You Submit

Once we receive your request, we review it, confirm the matching record, and remove it from our search index. Most opt-out and suppression requests are processed within a few business days, and we aim to finish well inside the timelines set by applicable privacy laws.

We will email you when the work is done so you have a record of the change. If we cannot verify the request or need another detail to match the right listing, we will reach out before closing it rather than guessing.

Because public databases are updated over time, a record could resurface if it is re-published at the original source. If you ever notice your suppressed details again, send a fresh request and we will handle it.

We Honor Opt-Out Signals

Beyond manual requests, we recognize browser-based opt-out preferences such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. When your browser sends one of these signals, we treat it as a valid instruction not to sell or share the personal information tied to that visit.

We do not require you to choose between privacy and access. Submitting an opt-out will never limit your ability to use the free search tools on USAPhonesBooks for other lawful purposes.

Please remember that USAPhonesBooks is not a Consumer Reporting Agency under the FCRA. Our results, and any opt-out you make, are not meant for employment, tenant, credit, or other FCRA-regulated decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to pay or create an account to opt out?

No. Opting out and requesting record removal is completely free, and you do not need to sign up. Just complete the request form on this page.

How long does a removal request take?

Most suppression and opt-out requests are processed within a few business days, and always within the deadlines required by applicable privacy laws. We email you once it is complete.

Will my record stay hidden permanently?

We suppress your listing from our search results going forward. Because public records are refreshed over time, details can occasionally reappear; if that happens, submit a new request and we will remove it again.

Does opting out work like it does on tools such as usphonebook?

The idea is similar: you verify the record and ask for it to be suppressed. Each service handles its own database, so opting out here only affects what appears on USAPhonesBooks.
