What Happens After You Complete a TruePeopleSearch Removal?

However, people search site opt outs are rarely permanent. 

Some people search sites relist individuals’ profiles when they find more of their information. For this reason, it is important to recheck people search sites like TruePeopleSearch to ensure your data has not reappeared. If it has, you’ll need to submit another opt-out request.
