TV, copy the url of the profile page you want removed, then click on “Privacy” in the very small writing at the bottom and fill out the form there.

How do you “remove” your email address? I don’t see that option anywhere.. I’m in Canada, so finding by “Name” did not yield any results, but I did see my info when I put in my e-mail address. But this page does not seem to have any “Remove” button/link. Is this link only available when you enter a “Name” by any chance?

Lindsay, You’re actually right about that. Hopefully they’re honorable and do the right thing. But you can never be too sure.

Also I think the business partnership link between Spokeo and the ReputationDefender company they are shilling for should be investigated. Maybe they’re just trying to create the perception of a problem to sell this service of removing it.

To remove your profile page you have to provide your email. Isn’t this just going to give them better, verified data?
