CocoFinder is a free people-search aggregator — people search, reverse phone lookup, reverse address and email lookup, and paid background checks — that publishes names, addresses, phone numbers, and possible relatives pulled from public records, and its browse-by-state and browse-by-name directories mean those listings can surface in an ordinary Google search of your name. Its "Remove My Info" page promises a free opt-out for members and non-members alike, with requests processed in 24–48 hours on average. The catch, as of this writing: the removal form that page links to is a Google Form, and Google has taken it down — opening it returns a "violation of our Terms of Service" error instead of a form. That leaves the fallback CocoFinder itself lists on the same page, an email to its support address, as the path that actually works right now.
Find your listing
Skip the big search box on CocoFinder's homepage — as of our last check, submitting it hands you off to a partner background-check site's paid funnel rather than CocoFinder's own records. Your actual CocoFinder listing lives on its name pages: go directly to cocofinder.com/name/your-first-your-last (for example, cocofinder.com/name/john-smith), or run a site:cocofinder.com "Your Name" search on Google. Open the entry that's actually you — check the age, location, and relatives shown to rule out a namesake before you request anything.
Copy the profile URL
With your listing open, copy the full URL from your browser's address bar. CocoFinder's removal flow works off the specific record, so this URL is the cleanest way to tell its staff exactly which listing to pull — include it in whatever you send.
Try the official removal form
Navigate to cocofinder.com/remove-my-info and click the "filling out this form" link. When we checked on August 26, 2026, that link led to a dead Google Form showing Google's Terms of Service violation error — but CocoFinder may repair or replace it, so it's worth the ten seconds to try. If a working form loads, third-party guides that documented it while it was live report it asking for your name, email address, profile URL, and a short reason for the request. If you hit the error instead, move to Step 4.
Email support@cocofinder.com
Send an email to support@cocofinder.com — the contact CocoFinder gives on both its removal page and its privacy policy. Include your full name as it appears on the listing and the profile URL you copied in Step 2, and state plainly that you're requesting removal of that record from CocoFinder's search results. If you're filing for a family member, CocoFinder's own FAQ says you'll need written authorization from that person, so mention that you have it.
Wait 48 hours and re-check
CocoFinder says the average request completes within 24 to 48 hours. After that window, search your name on the homepage again — its FAQ notes you may need to clear your browser cache to see the updated results. If a listing under a different address or name variant is still up, send a fresh request for that URL specifically; there's no email-confirmation link to watch for, so a silent inbox doesn't necessarily mean the request failed.
Why it's worth checking back
A completed CocoFinder removal only covers the record you pointed to, as of the day it's processed. The site keeps ingesting public records, so a move, a new phone number, or a fresh data feed can generate a new listing that your old request never touched — the same resurfacing pattern behind every broker in our guide to removing your personal information from the internet. A broken opt-out form only sharpens the problem: if the working path is an email with no confirmation loop, the only way to know you're actually off the site is to go look.
That recurring check is exactly what DelistMyData automates — filing the removal once, then watching for you to reappear on CocoFinder and the rest of the people-search sites and re-filing without you having to remember.
