    I have followed the protocol to have my personal information reacted from the US phonebook website and have not gotten any results. I have waited beyond the typical 72 hour reported timeframe, but no results. I have called the number listed, only to be told that that selection is an invalid number. Im not able to reach anyone in person to assist me with this. I need my personal information redacted for security purposes ASAP. I appreciate any help you may give me.

    I visited usphonebook.com, a website that provides personal information, today to remove my name and information from their platform. However, I found out that they require me to upload my identification documents to complete the process. This is a significant breach of my identity and privacy rights, and I don't feel comfortable providing confidential information to a company that I don't know or trust. It's unfair that I can't control who has access to my personal contact information without compromising my own privacy. The business practices of US Phonebook and similar websites are entirely unfair. I want to remove my personal information from this site , but it doesn't make sense that I have to upload the same information that I am trying to get removed in the first place.

    There was no money involved in any transaction. I have a problem with my personal information linked to my company phone. And my information on this site. The website claims you can opt-out by following their step by step instructions doesnt work, Once you click the opt out button the process stops and you cannot proceed! They provide a number to call which I have called multiple occasions nobody but a nice automated voice, with no working options are available! After multiple emails I did get this response ************************* (US Phone Book)Mar 19, 2024, 09:34 PDT Hello,Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to take phone calls. Please describe the issue that you are encountering so that we can assist you further. So I sent another email request and opt out and explained the situation with no response. I understand people get busy but any legitimate business would have their business running proper to get more business. I feel that this is not a legitimate business and they are jeopardizing and victimizing innocent people. All I want is my info removed from their system which they allegedly provide but dont.

    They are showing my private information including my age and I tried to opt out using their method and they never removed my information. Part of the process included that I had to check a couple boxes and enter my email which then resulted in Brandyourself.com soliciting me and saying they can help me remove my private info and keep it off if I pay them over $100 per year. I don't really the exact figure maybe it was $129 a year.When I try to call USPhonebook.com to help in this issue the number just gives you options that go nowhere and when I emailed back brandyourself I got no response.

    I've attempted to remove my data from this site today 31 Jan ****. The site USPHONEBOOK.com requires that you use the email they have listed to remove records. However, the email listed is invalid/inaccurate. They require a confirmation email to be sent to "activate" the deletion. Given that the email is invalid, there is no way to complete the deletion of PRIVATE INFORMATION. I've attempted to call the company @ the number they have listed: **************. It is not active. I attempted to send multiple emails to www.usphonebook.com/support. This email generates an auto response looping me back to www.usphonebook.com/opt-out which requires access to an invalid email they have listed for me. Therefore the result is a ************ with my personal data remaining on the public internet displayed by a simple ****** search of my name. I'm certain this is happening to many others who may be aware (or perhaps) unaware of the personal data on the internet by this company and the inability to remove it.
