How to remove yourself from NumberGuru
NumberGuru is one of the sites in BeenVerified, LLC's California registry filing. The filing points to BeenVerified's opt-out page for privacy rights, and BeenVerified's help center says the opt-out is free and confirmed by an email link.
On average, Serus sends about 184 removal requests per person, 89% of them to data brokers, so expect NumberGuru to be one of many.

These are run by the same company. Removing yourself from NumberGuru doesn't remove you from them, so check each one.
Does it come back?
BeenVerified says its database is updated at least monthly, and a record that doesn't match your opted-out one can create a fresh listing. Search yourself every 2 to 3 months.
Your rights
California: CCPA. If you live in California, the CCPA lets you ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you and to stop selling or sharing it. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond.
California: the Delete Act. Data brokers that hold information on Californians must register with the state. California residents can use DROP, the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, to send one deletion request to every registered broker at once.
Other US states. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and a growing list of other states give residents a similar right to delete. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also make data brokers register with the state. Where no state law applies, the broker's own opt-out above still works for most people.
