  Hi, I found my information on the site Whitepages. They have personal information about me and they are using and displaying it publicly. From their privacy policy, I requested the removal of my profile and all associated information from their database by emailing them and trying the opt-out link, but I am having no success so far. I want BBB to assist me in the removal of my profile and all associated information from Whitepages.Attached is a screenshot of my profile, and also a screenshot of the link where you can find it: Thank you for your assistance.

  Hello *****,
  
  Thank you for contacting the Whitepages ************* Team, my name is *******. I wanted to follow up with information regarding the listing you reported.
  
  Whitepages respects your wishes in controlling how your information is displayed. We have located and removed any Whitepages listings that correspond to the information you provided with your opt-out request. Within *************************************************************************** paid services.
  
  After 24 hours, if you see any of your information that we may have missed, please let us know by replying to this email with a link or screenshot of the page containing your information.
  
  We would also like to take a moment to explain a little about how listing removals work at Whitepages. All listing removals are designed to be permanent. The way we accomplish this is to remove the listings from our sites, and flag the information in our database as unpublishable. This is in order to prevent a new listing from being created in a future update.
  
  This means that your contact information is not deleted from the Whitepages database. If we did, it would reappear on our site within a few months as we receive new information. This information is kept only for the purposes of keeping listing removals permanent, and is not sold or otherwise shared to any third parties.
  
  Should we receive information for you in the future that is different from that flagged data (such as new address or misspelled name) it is possible that a new listing may be created for you. We work hard to prevent this from happening, but if you do find your information on our site in the future, please let us know so that we may remove it for you.

  I am rejecting this response because: Whitepages hasn't removed the profile or the premium listing yet. Please see the attached screenshots for the premium listing, the profile itself, and the link to the profile.

  I have tried to get delisted from Whitepages by using their opt-out feature to no avail. The automated answering system is of no use and constantly prevents me from removing my personal information without fulfilling my request. I have tried on numerous occasions to remove myself from this site without any success and would recommend future customers to be wary of associating themselves with this particular site. I request that all information related to me, my address, and telephone number be removed. Please remove the following listing immediately pursuant to potential legal recourse. Any assistance from the BBB organisation would be appreciated as well. https://www.whitepages.com/name/********-B-***********/*****-**/PbywbwGEKm9
