DeleteMe’s The Public Records Review

The Public Records‘s opt out link redirects to PeopleFinders, indicating that removing yourself from PeopleFinders will remove you from The Public Records. The Public Records collects and posts all kinds of personal information publicly online. Removing yourself from The Public Records via PeopleFinders requires you to fill out an opt-out form.  After that, it may take seven or more days to have the request removed.
