How to Remove Yourself from PeopleSmart
PeopleSmart is a people search engine that aggregates public records to create detailed profiles including addresses, phone numbers, and background information. They make it easy for anyone to look up personal details about you. Removing yourself from PeopleSmart is a straightforward online process.
PeopleSmart is just one of hundreds of sites selling your data. Even after you opt out here, your personal records will keep appearing on other data broker sites — often within weeks. Manually removing yourself from every site takes 20–30 hours and needs to be repeated constantly. Aura automatically removes your data from 100+ brokers and monitors for reappearance 24/7 — so you never have to do this again.
Let Aura Handle the Rest →What Data Does PeopleSmart Collect?
PeopleSmart collects names, current and past addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, age and date of birth, known relatives and associates, social media profiles, and property records. They also compile court records, criminal history data, and professional information sourced from public databases, government records, and commercially available data sets.

Additional Tips
PeopleSmart is part of the PeopleConnect network, which also operates Intelius and Classmates.com. Consider opting out of all three services for more complete removal.
