This PeekYou removal guide will walk you through the process of finding your listing on the personal information site and submitting an opt out request.
PeekYou is a people search site that lets users find personal information about individuals. By entering a first and last name and state into the search bar, users can find data like social media profile information, education history and more.
You can also click on various links to search for more information, though that data doesn’t load nearly as fast as the initial information you’ll find.
Removing your information from people search sites can keep your data from getting onto other data mining websites. This can help prevent major issues like identity theft as well as other more minor privacy issues.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of removing your info from PeekYou search results. For help submitting multiple opt out requests to various people search sites online, contact NetReputation today for a free consultation by calling 844-461-3632.
