Data brokers are companies that collect and sell your personal information, and auditing these sites is an essential step in anyone's digital footprint analysis, especially if you are conducting it for the first time.
That's Them is a free people-search and reverse-lookup site. It allows anyone to look up a person by name, address, phone, email, or IP address and yields a profile that may include previous addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and marketing-style scores. Due to its free-ness and reverse lookups, ThatsThem is a popular way to attach a phone number or email back to a real name.
The opt-out is one of the easiest: use a single form, no account, no phone call. This involves the specific form fields, what should happen after submitting, and how to detect returned listings.
What information does ThatsThem publish about you?
- Full name, aliases and age
- Current and past home addresses
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- Relatives and household members
- Marketing scores such as estimated wealth and lifestyle segments
- IP address and reverse email or phone matches

Start automatic removalHow to opt out of ThatsThem: step by step
1Find your listing
Look for your name at thatsthem.com, or do a reverse lookup on your phone number or e-mail to see who it is associated with. Then, find the corresponding profile and click Show Full Profile for the information to be revealed.
2Open the opt-out form
Visit thatsthem.com/optout. This is the removal page. It does not require an account.
3Fill in your details
Type the following information including your name, street address, city, state and ZIP, email and phone. If this matches what's on your profile, nothing would give ThatsThem a better chance of finding exactly the record you requested. Verify the CAPTCHA.
4Watch for the confirmation email
ThatsThem will email you once the request has been entered. Open this email and click any links within it to complete the process. If it doesn't appear after a few minutes, please check your spam folder.
5Confirm the listing is gone
ThatsThem says requests are generally done within 72 hours, but some removals may take up to a week. Search again and verify, and make a new request for any other profiles that are actually yours.
Quick reference

| thatsthem.com | Online form + email confirmation | 72 hours - 1 week | Free |
What happens after you opt out
Opt Out deletes your record from ThatsThem search results but not from the public records and marketing feeds it draws from. When ThatsThem refreshes from those feeds, a new listing may show up due to a move, a new phone contract, or a change to a public record.
For this reason, I suggest re-checking ThatsThem every 3 – 6 months, or just hand it over to an automated removal service like AntiBridge that prowls the website and re-puts your opt-out every time your record arises again.
Tired of opting out one site at a time?
Data brokers make it easy for scammers, stalkers, and identity thieves to find you. Removing yourself from 150+ sites manually takes weeks – and your information can reappear. AntiBridge handles the removals for you and keeps watch so your privacy stays protected.
Remove my info automaticallyFrequently asked questions
Is the ThatsThem opt-out free?
Yes. ThatsThem.com/optout is free and requires no login. You will never have to pay ThatsThem to delete your personal details.
Do I have to enter my phone and email to opt out?
The form requests them so ThatsThem can verify the request with your profile. If you do not want to use your primary contacts, a second e-mail and number will suffice.
I never signed up for ThatsThem. Why is my information there?
ThatsThem creates records based on existing public information and marketing data obtained through commercial sources, not based on any subscriptions to its services. You do not require an account to be listed, which is precisely why opting out is recommended.
Will opting out of ThatsThem hide me from other people-search sites?
No. Different sites have different databases and their own opt-out options. If you want to clear all then you will need to opt-out of each. Or use a service like AntiBridge to optout of them all.
