PeopleSmart Opt Outs FAQs
Here are some common questions that people have about PeopleSmart.
What is PeopleSmart.com?
PeopleSmart.com is a data broker website, also known as a people finder or people search site. Individuals/organizations can use PeopleSmart to search for people’s personal information by their name, phone number, email address, or username.
PeopleSmart reports include personal data like contact information (phone number, email, home addresses), work and education history, related contacts, social media profiles, and more.
Is PeopleSmart legit?
PeopleSmart is legit in the sense that it shows you people’s personal information – as long as you pay for it, of course.
How does PeopleSmart get my information?
Sites like PeopleSmart collect people’s information from various online and offline sources – for example, public records, social media, retailer purchase history, loyalty card information, etc.
To learn more about where data brokers get your data, who buys it, and how having your personal details for sale online can affect you, read our comprehensive data broker guide.
Is PeopleSmart free?
PeopleSmart is not free. To see people’s reports, you need to pay a monthly fee.
PeopleSmart has three pricing plans:
- Basic, which costs $39 per month and lets you look up 50 people per month.
- Professional, which costs $69 per month and lets you look up 150 people per month.
- Business, which costs $99 per month and lets you look up 300 contacts per month.
You can also get a 7-day trial membership for $1 or $5 (if you want to be able to download people’s reports as a PDF).
Does PeopleSmart work?
PeopleSmart works as intended, i.e., it gives you access to reports that contain people’s personal information for a monthly subscription.
Is PeopleSmart reliable?
PeopleSmart provides users with personal information reports on individuals. However, like any data broker, the accuracy of information in these reports varies. Some data may be correct, while other information can be outdated or completely erroneous.
How do I opt out of PeopleSmart?
To opt out from PeopleSmart, you need to opt out of BeenVerified. The reason why is that PeopleSmart is owned by BeenVerified. To remove your name from BeenVerified and PeopleSmart, follow these steps:
- Navigate to https://www.beenverified.com/app/optout/search and find your listing by entering your name and state.
- Beside your listing, click “Proceed to Opt Out.”
- Enter your email address and perform the CAPTCHA.
- You’ll get a confirmation email. Click ‘Verify Opt-Out’ at the bottom of the email. You will be redirected to the BeenVerified website to see a confirmation of your opt out.
- You will receive a final confirmation email that your Been Verified opt-out has been successful.
Does PeopleSmart notify?
PeopleSmart can notify users when a person’s information changes, i.e., when they move home, get a new job, etc.
PeopleSmart does not notify individuals who are being searched. In other words, there is no way for you to know if someone has looked you up on PeopleSmart.
Is BeenVerified the same as PeopleSmart?
BeenVerified has owned PeopleSmart since 2014. As a result, to opt out of PeopleSmart, you need to opt out of BeenVerified. Opting out through BeenVerified will remove your personal information from both PeopleSmart and BeenVerified.
