How to remove yourself from Foller.me
Foller.me handles opt-outs by email. Write to the address on foller.me/do-not-sell with the subject "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" and include your name, surname and the link to your profile on the site. The page frames it as a California right and gives no response time.
On average, Serus sends about 184 removal requests per person, 89% of them to data brokers, so expect Foller.me to be one of many.

How to opt out of Foller.me
- 1
Find your profile and copy its link
Search for your name on foller.me and open your profile. Copy the address from the browser bar; the request has to include it.
- 2
Get the contact address
Open foller.me/do-not-sell in a normal browser. The email address on that page is hidden from scrapers, so it shows as a placeholder in anything that copies the text.
- 3
Send the email
Use the exact subject "Do Not Sell My Personal Information". In the body, give your name, your surname and the profile link. Foller.me says it matches your request against its database using those three details.
Watch out for
- The page presents the opt-out as a right for California residents under the CCPA. It doesn't say what happens for people elsewhere.
- No reply time or confirmation step is published, so keep your sent email.
- Each profile has its own link, so send every link you want gone.
