Fax the information to the Intelius customer service department at (425) 974-6194.

In order for PeopleLookup to ‘opt out’ your public information from being viewable on the PeopleLookup website we require faxed proof of identity. Proof of identity can be a state-issued ID card or driver’s license. If you are faxing a copy of your driver’s license, cross out the photo and the driver’s license number. We only need to see the name, address and date of birth.

If you are not comfortable doing this, you can send us a notarized form proving your identity and we will be glad to remove this public information.


** Please note that removing the data does not prevent public records from sending us new information in the future. To permanently have your records sealed you will need to contact your county’s record department. If you have a compelling privacy or security issue, you may wish to contact the official custodians of those public records that contain sensitive information about you, such as your county's land records office, to determine how to remove your information from the public record. (The process of having public records sealed typically requires a court order.) This process will ensure that the information is not available from the public records custodian, PeopleLookup, or any other information provider.

If you would like us to remove your Web Summary from our service, send an email to remove@
zoominfo.com
with your request and the web address of your Web Summary (link), and we will gladly remove your information.

You may update or delete your information by logging in with your username and password in and making changes. To be completely removed from our directory, you may also e-mail your request to delete your information using our support form or by contacting Zoom Information by telephone or postal mail using the contact information shown at the bottom of our privacy policy.

ZoomInfo only collects and displays information that can already be found on any public search engine. Because the web is constantly changing and we search millions of new and old web pages every day, your information may be acquired again by our service without our knowledge. We recommend that you check back monthly to ensure that your Web Summary contains only the information you choose to have displayed, and that our search tools have not re-discovered previously deleted information. The best way to avoid having your information found by our search engine (or any other search engine) is to contact the operator of the website that contains the original source(s) of the information and ask for the operator to remove the displayed information from the web.

ZoomInfo is a summarization search engine that scans web sites and gathers information it finds about people and companies. This information is gathered from the same publicly available web sources that are searched by other major public search engines and accessible to any person surfing the web. Once we have collected information about a person, we combine multiple mentions of the same person into an individual Web Summary. The resulting Web Summaries are then made available to the public through the ZoomInfo service.
