Search yourself on personsearchers.com
Note each page that shows you and copy the URLs.

Check the footer
The site's own privacy and Do Not Sell links are the company's first-choice route, since its California filing names its websites as where consumers exercise their rights.
- 3
Or email the company
Write to support@privaterecords.net asking for deletion of your information and for it not to be sold or shared. Include your full name, state and the listing URLs.

Re-send after a week of silence
The company reports a response time of about a day, so a week with no reply is worth a second email.

Your rights
As a registered California data broker, Private Records LLC handles deletion and opt-out of sale requests under the CCPA.
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.
