    I saw that all of my personal information was provided on USPhoneBook and followed the instructions they provided to remove my information. I called and was unable to speak to a representative. Instead, their website to "opt out" of public solicitation of my personal information was met with 'CAPTCHA ERROR." This has occurred in multiple attempts to adhere to their instructions to remove my information from their site. I suspect this is a ploy to have a faulty system so that they do not need to take accountability for removing information. I can not speak with a person, nor do they provide an email that actually goes through. All of the links to communicate with this company ends with a digital error message". I need assistance to remove my information from this site/ company as in my rights to privacy. Please advise. Thank You Respectfully, Kristine

    On 2/6/23 I attempted to remove my name from their database. I tried several times using chrome and safari browsers. Each time, the link to advance to the next page would not work. I called but there was not an option to remove my data via phone. Due to a safety issue with my children, I need my information removed immediately.

    Hi, I've been unable to remove my personal information from the US Phone Book website which includes my address and contact details. Example - ************************************************************************** This is after multiple attempts at requesting removal via their link (the website does not allow me to submit the request, nor does it allow me to submit an email). Please ensure they remove all my personal information from their website. I would also like to understand how they got the information. Thanks,*****

    The online process to remove personal information does not work. It reports a "captcha error" or does not allow you to submit your request to remove your information. If you call the phone number, it provides a pre-recorded menu and directs you back to the website to opt-out. There is no way to speak to a human. I made a BBB complaint and the business asked for my link on their site, but then did not remove the information. The information is still there.

    USPhoneBook.com have publicly posted ALL of my personal information including my home address, cell number, relatives names, etc, etc, etc... This is absolutely NOT OKAY and a flagrant violation of personal privacy by disabling their "opt out" procedure. Their contact information is a scam. The phone number is a con with no discernable way to speak to anyone, ending in being disconnected. Their email address is a con and ends in an error message every time leaving no way to contact them to resolve any issues. The opt-out procedure is a con and ends in an error message every time making this entire business model ILLEGAL. There is NO WAY to contact these people and this is a HUGE privacy violation in addition to potentially put peoples lives and safely in jeopardy without being able to remove this information. Completely illegal and I am happy to take legal action if this company isn't stopped. This website needs to be TAKEN DOWN. This is reprehensible and dangerous! Disgusting.

    I am rejecting this response because: USPhonebook.com has not removed my information.  I am unable to use their "opt out" procedure as their websites as they are NOT WORKING! I believe that is built in and on purpose. My name is ***** from ************** (age 48...fyi) That is all that is needed for anyone (including your the representative of your companies who WILL do as I ask and remove my personal data) to pull up all of my personal information, location, phone numbers, friends, family and previous addresses, etc.... It is the responsibility of USPhonebook.com and any other website issued to **************************** (**********, **) to delete ALL of my personal information from being posted publicly and THEY need to do this immediately. It is a violation of my personal privacy and is putting me in physical danger.

    USPhonebook OPT-OUT does not work. Following instructions provided, the 'Begin Removal Request' button will not work'. It simply does nothing.Additionally, when trying to contact the company, the Submit button complains that the Captcha has problems so no message is sent.Further, the toll free number to contact USPhones offers no help in removing data or provisions to leave a message.It appears they are trying to make it impossible to remove my information.

    The captcha on the website is broken. It will not let me opt-out or contact the business through their own website. Once all the information on a page has been filled out, and the captcha has been completed (with a green checkmark as confirmation) the form still cannot be submitted. When you try to submit the form it says captcha error, despite the captcha being successfully completed. I have tried this on multiple devices and networks.
