Tired of Seeing Your Name in Public?
By: Jim Homyak
Clearing one's identity from all the public databases is free and easy ... it just takes a bit of time.
Have a notepad ready to jot the places that show up in search results.
Step 1. Google your full name in quotes, e.g.
"Joyce Carolyn Doe"
Step 2. Google variations too, such as "Joyce C. Doe"
Step 3. Look at web places such as this list, by going straight to those, to verify the info... and go to any other links that come up in google... also try Bing and DuckDuckGo and the Brave search engines.
a. MyLife
b. TruthFinder
c. Intellius
f. White pages
g. Checkpeople
h. Spyfly
i. Been Verified
j. TruthFinder
k. GoLookUp
l. Radaris
m. Note: there are many others that source from bigger sites
Step 4. At each site, once at the page where the record is that you want removed. Make note of that page URL.
Step 5. Go into that services's "opt out" link or Customer service link, or Control Info link and complete the request to opt out, and paste the URL as it requests you to do.
Step 6. Repeat this for every service.
For me, I did 21 services where my name existed plus other erroneous data that I did not want confused with me.
Step 7. A few weeks later, try Googling your name again.
As a test, see if you can find "James Allen Homyak" anywhere online. Please tell me if you find [it] outside my own website.
This process takes time. There are also paid background check services that Law Firms use. I know each have data privacy regulations. But my notes above pertain to free or low cost public website services.
Here is a link to Radaris where you can learn more about this.

Clearing information about yourself, from the public Internet, is an important part of the goal in solving the problems about commercial and political status which has been presumed upon you.
Let me know if you have any questions.
