How to remove yourself from ClustrMaps

A plain-English walk-through of opting out of ClustrMaps (clustrmaps.com): what to expect, the free steps in order, how long it can take and why you should check again later.

What ClustrMaps shows about you

ClustrMaps is a people-search site built around addresses: you can look up a name to find an address or an address to find who lives there. It has a free opt-out form, linked in the footer as Do Not Sell My Personal Information.

A listing there can include your name, addresses, phone numbers and associated people, tied closely to street addresses, according to independent guides. The exact fields vary from person to person, and the free view usually shows less than a paid one.

How we checked this guide

ClustrMaps's own pages were not reachable from our tools. The opt-out address comes from independent guides and the steps from two of them, one that says it did the opt-out itself. The two guides describe the order of the steps a little differently, so follow the on-screen prompts. Last checked October 31, 2026.

How to remove yourself from ClustrMaps for free

The free route is the one to try first. Here are the steps, in order. The official address is clustrmaps.com/bl/opt-out.

  • Go to clustrmaps.com and scroll to the footer. Click Do Not Sell My Personal Information, or go to clustrmaps.com/bl/opt-out.
  • Enter the details the form asks for. One guide describes starting with your email address and a captcha, and another describes first entering your name, email address, listing address and your own address. Use a dedicated email address.
  • Find your record by name and the city and state you live in, or one you used to live in. If you cannot find it under your current location, try old ones.
  • Open your record and choose the button that proceeds to opt out. Copy the web address of your listing first if the form asks for it.
  • Choose which pieces of information to remove. Guides recommend ticking all of the boxes if you want everything removed.
  • Click Apply to submit. Check back after about a week by searching for yourself.

Use a dedicated email address for this and not your main one, and do not send a copy of your ID unless you have confirmed you are on the real site and there is no other way. Keep a spreadsheet with the date and the listing address for each request.

How long does ClustrMaps removal take?

We could not find a time published by ClustrMaps. One independent guide says to check after about a week.

Things to know before you start

  • Entries are tied to addresses, so a past address can have its own listing. Search by your old addresses as well as your name.
  • Guides say that at the end of the opt-out you may be shown an advert for a data-removal service. You do not need it to complete the free opt-out.
  • A Consumer Reports article on removal services noted that researchers found an advert for a removal service on ClustrMaps itself. That is a reason to be wary of upsells on any people-search site.

Will your ClustrMaps listing come back?

It can. People-search sites build listings from public records and purchased data, and they refresh that data. If your information shows up in a new batch, a listing you removed can be created again. We are not aware of a reliable published figure for how often that happens, so be suspicious of anyone who quotes one.

A sensible routine is to search for yourself a few weeks after your request, then every few months. If you move, change your phone number or buy a home, expect new records. The same record also sits on many other sites, so clearing ClustrMaps does not clear the rest. Our guide to removing personal information from the internet covers the other sites, Google results and the legal tools that exist where you live.

If you would rather not do it yourself

Doing this by hand across many sites, then repeating it, is tedious. Data-removal services sell that repetition as a subscription. One of them is DeleteMe, the service we link, and we earn a commission if you sign up through the links marked Affiliate link. We have not tested DeleteMe, and the details below come from DeleteMe's own pages as we read them on October 30, 2026.

We could not confirm from DeleteMe's pages whether it covers this site: the part of DeleteMe's list of covered sites that we could see did not include it, and we could not open the full list. Check DeleteMe's current list before you buy.

  • What it says it does: you give it your details, and according to its site its team searches hundreds of data brokers and people-search sites, submits opt-out and removal requests and keeps monitoring and removing your information regularly, all year long.
  • Price: DeleteMe's help center describes the solo plan as about $11 a month, billed annually at $129, for one person for one year. Plans renew automatically unless you cancel, and prices change, so check the live page.
  • Our link's discount: the page our US link opens advertises 20% off all privacy protection plans with the code PARTNER20, valid for new members only on USA consumer plans. See the current DeleteMe offer (Affiliate link).

Removal services reduce how easy you are to find. They do not make you anonymous and they do not promise that a listing will never return. If you decide to look at it, see the DeleteMe plans (Affiliate link). If you prefer not to pay, the free steps above are enough to do the job for ClustrMaps.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove myself from ClustrMaps?

Use the free form at clustrmaps.com/bl/opt-out, linked as Do Not Sell My Personal Information in the footer. Enter your details, find your record, choose what to remove and click Apply.

Does ClustrMaps charge to opt out?

Independent guides describe the opt-out as free. You may see an offer for a paid removal service afterwards, which you do not need.

How can I tell if it worked?

Guides suggest waiting about a week, then searching for your name and your old addresses again. If a record remains, submit the form again for it.

Is it worth paying someone to remove me from ClustrMaps?

It depends on your time and how many sites you want to cover. The free opt-out above works without paying. A service such as DeleteMe, which earns us a commission if you sign up through our link, automates the repetition across many sites, but we have not tested it.
