How to Opt Out of NeighborWho (2026 Step-by-Step Guide)

NeighborWho comes at people-search from the property side: instead of starting with a name, its reports start with an address — who owns it, who lives there, sales history, and contact details for owners and residents. That means you can show up in a NeighborWho report without ever searching for yourself, simply because someone looked up your street. The site is run by The Lifetime Value Co. (LTV), the same New York company behind BeenVerified, PeopleLooker, and Ownerly, and its removal process follows the same pattern as its siblings: a free search-and-suppress form plus an email confirmation, no ID and no fee. The main snag is finding the form at all — the old neighborwho.com/opt-out address that a lot of guides still link to now returns a 404, and the working page sits behind a footer link instead.

Open the opt-out page

Go directly to neighborwho.com/svc/optout/search/optouts — this is the URL NeighborWho's own privacy policy and site footer point to, labeled "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information." If you'd rather navigate there yourself, scroll to the bottom of any neighborwho.com page and click that footer link. Skip any bookmark or older guide pointing at neighborwho.com/opt-out; that page is gone.

NeighborWho's opt-out page, headed "Looking To Opt-Out of Our People Search?", with empty First Name and Last Name fields, a state dropdown and a Search button above the opt-out FAQ.
Step 1 — Open the NeighborWho opt-out page

Search for your listing

Under the "Start by searching for your record here" prompt, enter your first and last name, narrow by state with the dropdown next to the Search button (it defaults to All), and click Search. A Cloudflare check sits just below the fields — it usually verifies itself and shows "Success!" without you doing anything. With a common name you'll see several candidates — check the location details shown against your own before picking, so you don't file a removal for a namesake.

Select your record and start the opt-out

Click through on the listing that's actually you to begin the removal request. If you own property, note the separate "Looking To Opt-Out of Our Property Search" link on the same opt-out page — NeighborWho's reports are address-first, so your listing may surface under your property as well as your name, and the property side has its own opt-out flow.

Step 3 — pick your record and start the opt-out, details redacted

Enter your email and submit

Provide an email address you actually check — this is where the verification link gets sent, and the request doesn't count until you click it. No photo ID or account is required, and removal is free — NeighborWho's own support pages state you never have to pay to remove your record from its people-search results.

Confirm via the verification email

Open your inbox, find the message from NeighborWho, and click the verification link inside. This is the step that actually files the request; without it, the opt-out sits incomplete. Third-party trackers of the process report listings clearing within roughly 24–72 hours of confirmation. If the form ever fails on you, the privacy policy also accepts requests by email at privacy@neighborwho.com or by phone at 1-866-202-7417 — include the listing details you want removed.

Check the sibling sites

An opt-out filed on one LTV brand doesn't reliably clear the others, so once NeighborWho is handled, search yourself on BeenVerified and PeopleLooker and file there too if you find a listing — the forms are near-identical, so the second and third passes go quickly. Our guide to removing your personal information from the internet covers the rest of the field beyond the LTV family.

Why it's worth checking back

NeighborWho has a rebuild trigger most people-search sites don't: property records. A sale, a refinance, a new deed or permit filing — any of those can generate a fresh record that reattaches your name to an address after a successful opt-out, which makes reappearance more likely for homeowners here than on a typical name-search broker. A removal clears what's listed today; it doesn't stop the next county-records refresh from listing you again.

That recurring check is exactly what DelistMyData automates — filing the removal once, then watching for you to reappear on NeighborWho and the rest of the people-search sites and re-filing without you having to remember.
