    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.

    I need them to remove my information. The only way to request your information be removed is by entering your email, and agree to their terms. They do not answer the phone at any number they have listed. I also never agreed to ever have these people have my information.

    11-20-23 I have tried multiple times to remove my information from their site. I have called, emailed, followed the steps online and have had no success removing it.

    I have put in my email associated as per your instructions over 50 times. I have had no response. I have checked my spam and inbox and done a search for weeks. I filed a complaint with the **** Your running a scam. The only explanation is that you are having people verify their information. Remove me and my family now! With all the theft, harassment, and federal law breaking, it's like you are encouraging ****, stalking, and theft.

    usphonebook.com is publicly displaying my personal information in their website without my authorization/consent, including:- 1. My full name 2. Age 3. Current and previous addresses 4. Phone number 5. Email address They also potentially collect and sell additional personal information, all without my authorization. I have no idea where they get their information and how can they display highly sensitive personal information on their website without my consent. This should be illegal.You can't reach them over the phone. They redirect us to their website to opt-out. And on their website, now I have to accept their privacy policy, terms and conditions, and provide more sensitive information about myself to opt-out. I don't want to provide them more information than the ones they already have about me, to opt-out.

    Hello,

    All of the information on our website is from public record databases. Every person aged 18 and older can have a public record. This information is collected on a County, City, State and federal level and can also come from reporting information during normal every day activities such as grocery store club cards, magazine subscriptions, voter registration, warranty cards, even fishing licenses, and forms you fill out when browsing the internet. There are thousands of ways this information gets reported.

    If you would like your records removed, please submit your request by using our online removal tool, linked below. We will also endeavor to block future public records that belong to the same person, but identifying these future records is not 100% accurate and cannot be guaranteed.
