How to Remove Yourself from ThatsThem (2026 Step-by-Step Guide)
How to Remove Yourself from ThatsThem (2026 Step-by-Step Guide)
ThatsThem is a free people-search site that lets anyone look you up by name, address, phone, or email and get a full profile back at no cost. It also does something most of these sites do not: it can show your IP address history, tying your online activity to your real identity. That makes it worth removing.
The opt-out is free and quick. Here is the current process, plus the honest reason it does not stay gone.
What ThatsThem exposes
- Full name and age
- Current and past addresses
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- IP address history
- Relatives and associates
- Social media usernames and vehicle details
ThatsThem assembles this from public records, online sources, and other data, automatically, which is why a fresh profile can appear without warning.
How to remove yourself from ThatsThem
Find your listing. Go to thatsthem.com and search your name. Open the result that matches you and note the exact address and phone number shown, since you may need to enter them.
Open the opt-out form. Scroll to the bottom of your profile and click the opt-out link, or go to the ThatsThem opt-out page directly.
Fill it out exactly as listed. Enter the information exactly as it appears in your record, add an email address, complete the CAPTCHA, and submit. Use a separate, low-information email if you can.
Confirm and repeat. Watch for an on-page confirmation, and complete any email verification. If more than one record matches you, submit a separate form for each.
How long it takes: Removals usually process within about a week. Search your name again afterward to confirm the listing is gone.
Why your listing comes back
Opting out removes the profile you have now, but it does not stop ThatsThem from building a new one. The site keeps pulling fresh data, so a new listing can appear later, often when new information cannot be matched to what you used to opt out. The removal you do today is accurate today, and can quietly return down the road.
And clearing ThatsThem does nothing for the hundreds of other broker and people-search sites holding the same details. Your information lives in many places at once. This is where most people stop. They handle a site or two, feel relieved, and never check again. Consumer Reports studied how well removal holds and found that automated and do-it-yourself methods cleared only about 27 percent of listings, compared with roughly 70 percent when trained people handled it by hand. The gap is coverage and follow-through, not effort.

The honest case for letting a human handle it
You can do this yourself, and for one site it is manageable. The problem is that staying private is not one site. To keep your data down you would track every broker that lists you, opt out of each, confirm each, and return every few weeks to catch the profiles that quietly come back. Across the whole ecosystem it becomes a job that never ends.
That is why Privoria runs on real people rather than a bot. A human can read a confusing listing, pick the right profile out of several near-matches, and keep returning to re-remove your data as it resurfaces.

Frequently asked questions
Is it free to opt out of ThatsThem?
Yes. ThatsThem does not charge to remove a listing. You only pay for time and follow-through if you use a service.
Why does it show my IP address?
ThatsThem is unusual in surfacing IP data, which can come from places your address was logged alongside your identity. It is part of why removing your listing is worthwhile.
How often should I check back?
Every couple of months is reasonable if you are doing this yourself, since the site rebuilds profiles from new data. If keeping up sounds exhausting, that is the honest reason monitoring services exist.
