How to Remove Yourself from InfoTracer (2026 Step-by-Step Guide)

August 5, 2026

RecordsFinder leans hard into court and criminal records, which is what sets it apart from the average people-search site. Alongside your address and phone number, it can surface arrest records, civil cases, and bankruptcies, the kind of detail that follows you into a job search or a landlord's background check. Here is how to remove your listing for free.

What RecordsFinder Is

RecordsFinder is a public-records search site with a very large database, drawing from state and local agencies, courts, and other public and private sources. It offers people search, background checks, property lookups, VIN and license lookups, and reverse phone and email searches. It is not a consumer reporting agency, so its reports are not meant for employment or credit decisions, but that does not stop people from using them that way.

What a RecordsFinder Report Can Show

A listing can include:

Full name and age
Address history and phone numbers
Criminal and arrest records
Civil court cases and bankruptcy filings
Property records
Vehicle and VIN details
Relatives and associates

Court and criminal data is the sensitive part. Even old, dismissed, or resolved cases can resurface here and cause real harm out of context.

How to Opt Out of RecordsFinder, Step by Step

The removal is free and takes a few minutes.

Step 1: Open the Opt-Out Page

Go to recordsfinder.com, scroll to the footer, and click "Opt Out."

Step 2: Search for Your Record

Enter your first and last name, your state, and your city, then click Submit.

Tip: Search every name variation you have used, including a maiden name or middle initial, plus any states you have lived in. RecordsFinder may hold more than one profile for you.

Step 3: Select and Remove Your Record

Find your listing in the results, check the box under "Select Record," then click the "Remove Data" button that appears.

Step 4: Submit Your Email

Enter an email address, add a comment if you want, complete the CAPTCHA, and click Submit.

Tip: Use a disposable or secondary email for this, never your primary address. It keeps your main email out of the broker's system.

Step 5: Verify by Email

Open the confirmation email from RecordsFinder and click the link to finalize the request. Removals usually process within 3 to 7 business days.

Tip: If you live in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, or Virginia, RecordsFinder also has a state privacy web form under "Exercise My Privacy Rights" that lets you request deletion directly.

If You Need to Reach Them

You can contact RecordsFinder's privacy team at privacy@recordsfinder.com or by phone at 1-844-777-0503 if a request stalls or you need to follow up.

Why It Comes Back

Opting out suppresses your listing, but the underlying public records still exist at their source. RecordsFinder refreshes from those sources, and when new data arrives that does not match your old opt-out, it can build a fresh profile. A recent court filing or address change makes that more likely. Re-check every 60 to 90 days if you are doing this by hand.

One Site Is Not the Whole Job

RecordsFinder is one of hundreds of sites carrying your records. The same court, property, and contact data also feeds Whitepages, Spokeo, BeenVerified, Radaris, and a long list of others, each with its own opt-out and its own refresh cycle. By hand, staying clear across all of them is a recurring project.

Let Privoria Handle It

Privoria does the removals for you with real people, not automation. Our team files across more than 1,000 data broker sites, monitors your listings monthly, and resubmits whenever your data reappears.

The human approach is measurably stronger. Consumer Reports found that automated and do-it-yourself removals cleared only about 27 percent of listings, while removals worked by people reached close to 70 percent.

No forms, no CAPTCHAs, no verification emails on your side, just a monthly report of what came down. Want to see how exposed your records are right now? Run a free scan below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the RecordsFinder opt-out free?

Yes. Removal never requires payment or an account.

How long does removal take?

Usually 3 to 7 business days after you click the verification link. If your listing is still up after that, resubmit or contact their privacy team.

Does opting out remove my actual court records?

No. It removes the listing from RecordsFinder's site only. The underlying records stay in the government databases they came from.

Will my information reappear?

It can. RecordsFinder refreshes from public records, so new data can rebuild your profile. Ongoing monitoring is what keeps it suppressed.

Is it still showing in Google after removal?

A cached version can linger for a while. Once the listing is gone from RecordsFinder, you can use Google's outdated content removal tool to speed up the refresh.
