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.
ZabaSearch, a free people search engine, provides a person's complete name, present and former locations, phone numbers, demographic information and contacts based on public records. It is operated by PeopleConnect and is owned by Intelius, so a ZabaSearch listing is essentially an Intelius record displayed under the ZabaSearch label.
ZabaSearch does not have any own removal form. The opt-out points to the PeopleConnect suppression center, which is the same portal that handles Intelius, US Search and AnyWho, and requests you to authenticate your identity in order to have the record suppressed. Here's the exact steps for 2026 and how to proceed once the listing comes back.
What information does ZabaSearch publish about you?
- Full name, aliases and approximate age
- Current and previous home addresses
- Landline and mobile phone numbers
- Relatives and household members
- Neighbors and known associates
- Cross-links to related public records

Start automatic removalHow to opt out of ZabaSearch: step by step
1Find your ZabaSearch listing
Visit zabasearch.com and look for your name. (Include the state for more specific search results if needed.) Review the results and select the listing that appears to be you. Record your address and age for verification purposes.
2Open the data privacy link
Head to the bottom and select "Exercise My Data Privacy Rights", followed by "Manage My Suppression Rules" (under public data tools). This navigates to the PeopleConnect suppression center (suppression.peopleconnect.us), which powers ZabaSearch removals.
3Verify your email
Enter your email. PeopleConnect will email you a confirmation link which will be dead within 15 min. So check it as soon as possible. Any other email address will be perfectly fine and keeps your primary inbox out of another marketing database.
4Confirm your identity details
Using the drop down menus, put in your date of birth and your current legal full name (include any other names/personal spelling variations if it asks). The suppression center will provide you with a matching record; choose whichever apply to you.
5Complete the code verification
Select one of the phone numbers or email addresses listed on the record to verify it belongs to you and provide the code that PeopleConnect will send to it. Once you have provided the code, send the request to implement the suppression.
6Re-check the listing
Suppression tends to spread after several days and is completed sometimes within 7 days. Search ZabaSearch again to ensure that the entry has disappeared while also searching in Intelius, since they also have that record. Do the same for any other of your records.
Quick reference
| Site | Opt-out method | Removal time | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| zabasearch.com | PeopleConnect suppression center: online form + email and code verification | Up to 7 days | Free |
What happens after you opt out
Suppression will block the one record you identified, not your name. PeopleConnect continues to feed in pieces of the public records feed, so a new address, new phone line, or new data purchase if not associated with your suppressed record may generate a new ZabaSearch result your previous request was not designed to suppress.
Re-check ZabaSearch and Intelius every few months, or have an automated removal service like AntiBridge monitor the PeopleConnect network and refile the suppression as soon as your information resurfaces.
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
Why does ZabaSearch route my opt-out through PeopleConnect?
ZabaSearch, owned by Intelius and operated by PeopleConnect, is on the shared Intelius database. Instead of a ZabaSearch-specific form, Zabasearch sends removals to the PeopleConnect suppression center at suppression.peopleconnect.us.
Does one opt-out cover Intelius and US Search too?
Yes. ZabaSearch, Intelius, US Search and AnyWho all use the same suppression database called PeopleConnect. If you make a request to any one of those companies, your record is suppressed everywhere. Other brokers outside PeopleConnect would still require individual opt outs.
Is the ZabaSearch opt-out free?
Absolutely. Removing your information via PeopleConnect is free and no account is required. Don't pay any third party website to have your ZabaSearch info removed.
Will opting out of ZabaSearch hide me from all people-search sites?
No. This applies only for the PeopleConnect sites. All the other broker sites each maintain their own opt-out and subscriber database, so you would need to do this for every site, or use a service like AntiBridge that files across 150+ brokers simultaneously.
