FAQ

How long does Intelius take to remove a listing?

Most removals process in 24–72 hours; allow up to 2 weeks. Under laws like the CCPA and the California Delete Act, brokers must honor deletion requests within 45 days.

Will my listing come back?

Often, yes. Intelius, like most brokers, refreshes from public records every 30–90 days, and your listing can reappear. That's why a one-time removal isn't enough — you have to re-check.

Is opting out of Intelius free?

Yes — every people-search site is required to offer a free opt-out. You never need to pay a broker to remove your own data.
