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

ThatsThem is a free people-search site that surfaces names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and even vehicle and IP-related data pulled from public records. It's a common one for people to stumble across because it doesn't sit behind a paywall the way some competitors do, so its listings show up directly in search results. The removal process is refreshingly direct: one form, no account, and unlike most brokers in this space, no separate email-confirmation step to click through afterward. The form itself just asks for more personal detail up front than some sites do, since it uses your address and phone number to match the correct record.

If you want the bigger picture before you file, our ThatsThem profile covers what the site is, what a listing shows, and whether it's legit.

Step 1: Find your listing

Search your name on thatsthem.com to confirm what's actually showing, and note the address and phone number tied to the record, since you'll need to enter matching details on the opt-out form.

A ThatsThem search for "John Smith" returning eight results, with the surname, location, date of birth, phone numbers and addresses blacked out.
Step 1 — Search your name and find the record that's yours

Step 2: Go to the opt-out page

Navigate to thatsthem.com/optout.

Step 3: Fill out the form

Enter your full name, street address, city, state, ZIP code, email address, and phone number. These fields exist so ThatsThem can locate the specific record you want pulled, and leaving one out or mistyping it can cause a mismatch.

Step 3 — Fill out the opt-out form

Step 4: Complete the CAPTCHA and submit

Solve the CAPTCHA and click submit. There's no follow-up email link to click. Submitting the form with a completed CAPTCHA is what triggers the removal on ThatsThem's end.

Step 5: Confirm removal

ThatsThem states requests are typically processed within 72 hours, and you'll get a confirmation email once it's done. After that window, search your name again to make sure the listing is actually gone. If it's not, or if you spot another listing under a different address, submit a fresh request for that one specifically.

Why it's worth checking back

ThatsThem itself is upfront about the limits of an opt-out: removing your data from its public search results doesn't touch the underlying public records it pulled from, or stop other brokers from listing the same information. That means a new address, a new phone line, or a fresh public-record import can land you back on ThatsThem even after a clean removal. A single request doesn't permanently prevent that.

That's the piece Delist My Data is built to stay on top of: submitting the removal once, then checking back for you and re-filing if you reappear, across ThatsThem and the rest of the people-search sites, without you having to remember to look.
