How to Opt Out of ThatsThem (2026)

ThatsThem.com will remove your listing for free through a single opt-out form that asks for your full name, street address, and phone number, and the site says it typically processes a request within 72 hours.

Opt-out flow verified: August 14, 2026, by directly loading and reading ThatsThem's live Opt Out form.

How to Remove Your Listing From ThatsThem

ThatsThem's Opt Out page is a single form, with no search-and-select step and no account required:

1. Go to ThatsThem's Opt Out page and fill in every required field: full name, street address, city, state, ZIP code, email address, and phone number. All of these are marked required, which is more information than several comparable sites ask for at this stage.
2. Submit the request. ThatsThem's page did not display a CAPTCHA challenge during this page's research, though the site does use automated bot-detection elsewhere (its Privacy Policy and Terms pages, see below); if you land on a "Checking your browser" screen instead of the form, wait a moment or retry, since that check is expected to clear for a normal visitor.
3. Wait up to 72 hours. ThatsThem states requests are "typically processed within 72 hours," after which you receive a confirmation email.
4. Recheck your listing after the confirmation arrives to make sure the record you intended to remove is actually gone, since a name-and-address mismatch on your submission can cause the wrong record, or no record, to be matched.

Because the form requires an exact street address and a working phone number, a mismatch between what you enter and what ThatsThem has on file is the most common reason a submitted request does not clear the intended listing. Double-check the address and spelling against what actually appears in your ThatsThem search result before submitting.

What Opting Out Does Not Do

ThatsThem states on its own opt-out page that removing your listing "does not affect data held by other services or public records." That means the underlying voter file, property record, or other public source your ThatsThem listing was built from is untouched, and other people-search sites that draw on similar public sources will not be affected by a ThatsThem-only opt-out. If your goal is to reduce your exposure broadly rather than on this one site, you need a separate opt-out request at each site; see our full data broker opt-out guide for the sitewide approach, including California's centralized DROP tool below.

California Residents: Try DROP First

California's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, run by the California Privacy Protection Agency, has taken consumer deletion submissions since January 1, 2026, and reaches every broker registered with the state from a single request; registered brokers have had to check DROP and act on matched requests since August 1, 2026. Check the CPPA's public data broker registry to confirm whether ThatsThem is a registered broker before relying on DROP alone. If it is not on the registry, the direct opt-out form above is the path to use.

Outside California

A number of states now give residents a statutory right to request deletion of their personal information from covered businesses, generally enforced by the state attorney general rather than through a private lawsuit, and coverage thresholds vary by state. If your state does not have one of these laws, ThatsThem's opt-out form above is a voluntary process rather than one you have an independent legal right to compel, though nothing about that changes how the form itself works.

The FCRA Line

Sites in the people-search category can cross into Fair Credit Reporting Act territory if their reports are marketed or used for employment, tenant screening, credit, or insurance decisions. In 2012, the Federal Trade Commission required Spokeo to pay $800,000 to settle charges that it marketed similar consumer profile data to employers and recruiters without meeting a consumer reporting agency's FCRA obligations. If a landlord or employer used a ThatsThem result to make a decision about you, that is a separate FCRA dispute-rights issue from the ordinary personal-privacy opt-out described on this page, and this guide addresses only the self-removal process any reader can use for their own listing.
