How to delete your TruePeopleSearch account
TruePeopleSearch is a free people-search site operated by The Lifetime Value Co. (same parent as BeenVerified, NumLookup, PeopleSmart). Unlike subscription-based competitors, TruePeopleSearch shows full contact info (current address, all known previous addresses, phone numbers, relatives, associated email addresses) on the public free page — no payment required. Its zero-friction model makes it one of the highest-traffic and most-cited people-search sites.

Before you delete
TruePeopleSearch is FREE and shows everything on the public-facing page, which makes it especially urgent for anyone concerned about doxxing. The good news: their opt-out is the fastest among the data brokers. The bad news: records repopulate from public-records feeds, so re-check every 3 months. TruePeopleSearch shares back-end data with BeenVerified and NumLookup (same parent) but each requires SEPARATE opt-out.

TruePeopleSearch deletion FAQs
Why is TruePeopleSearch so dangerous from a doxxing standpoint?+
Because it's free and shows full contact info on the public-facing page with no paywall. Most other people-search sites gate the deeper details behind a subscription, which limits casual exposure. TruePeopleSearch displays addresses, phones, and relatives to anyone with a browser, making it a common starting point for stalkers and doxxers.
Is TruePeopleSearch related to Whitepages?+
No — despite similar names. TruePeopleSearch is run by The Lifetime Value Co. (also BeenVerified, NumLookup, PeopleSmart). Whitepages is run by Whitepages, Inc. Separate companies, separate databases, separate opt-out flows.
How long does TruePeopleSearch take to remove a listing?+
Typically within 24 hours after you click the email verification link — one of the fastest in the broker industry. Google search cache may take an additional 1–4 weeks to update.
Why does my TruePeopleSearch record keep coming back?+
Public-records feeds and partner data ingest continuously. New entries can create fresh listings months after opt-out. Re-check every 3 months and re-submit if a new URL appears. Services like Scrub, DeleteMe, and Kanary automate the monitoring across all the brokers.
Can I opt out of all Lifetime Value Co. sites at once?+
Not via a single click. Visit each separately: BeenVerified, TruePeopleSearch, NumLookup, PeopleSmart. A CCPA right-to-delete or GDPR Article 17 request to privacy@thelifetimevalueco.com forces broader deletion across their internal database but takes 30–45 days to process.
Does removing my TruePeopleSearch listing affect FastPeopleSearch?+
No. FastPeopleSearch is run by a separate company (often confused as a sister site of TruePeopleSearch). Opt out of FastPeopleSearch separately at fastpeoplesearch.com/removal.
