How to Remove Yourself from AnyWho
AnyWho is an online white pages directory that provides phone numbers, addresses, and reverse lookup services. It is operated by Intelius and aggregates data from public phone directories and other sources. Removing your listing helps prevent strangers from easily finding your contact information.
What Data Does AnyWho Collect?
AnyWho collects and displays phone numbers (landline and mobile), home addresses, full names, and associated household members. They pull data from public telephone directories, white pages databases, and commercial data providers. Their reverse phone lookup feature allows anyone to search by phone number to find the owner's name and address.
Step-by-Step Opt-Out Instructions
- Go to https://www.anywho.com and search for your listing
- Note the details shown in your listing
- Go to https://www.intelius.com/opt-out (AnyWho is operated by Intelius)
- Search for your name and select your record
- Enter your email address for verification
- Check your email and click the confirmation link
- Allow 1-2 weeks for your listing to be removed from AnyWho
What to Expect After Opting Out
After confirming your opt-out through Intelius, your AnyWho listing will be removed within 1-2 weeks. The removal covers both the name search and reverse lookup features. Your phone number will no longer appear in their directory.
Additional Tips
If your phone number is listed in public phone directories, it may reappear on AnyWho or similar sites. Contact your phone carrier to request an unlisted number for more permanent protection.
