ClustrMaps Opt Out: How To Remove Your Info In 2026

To opt out of ClustrMaps, search the site for your name or address, copy the exact URL of the person or address page that shows you, then paste it into the Removal Request form at clustrmaps.com/bl/opt-out and complete any confirmation step. The opt-out is free and usually takes 10 to 20 minutes. Repeat it for every page that lists you, then check back after about a week, because ClustrMaps rebuilds pages from public records and can list you again.
ClustrMaps (clustrmaps.com) is a free people search and address lookup site that publishes pages about US residents and US street addresses. The name will be familiar to older webmasters: ClustrMaps began in 2005 as a visitor map widget for blogs, and the domain still offers that widget. The part that brings most people to this guide is the people and address directory, which lets anyone run a ClustrMaps search by name, phone number or address without creating an account.
ClustrMaps says on its own opt-out page that its listings are built from government datasets and that “all these records are a matter of public record.” The sources it names include the US Census Bureau, city 311 departments, alcohol beverage control agencies, Secretary of State business filings and county assessor property records. Each address page lists its data sources at the bottom, which matters for the second removal route covered below.
So when people ask “what is ClustrMaps,” the practical answer is: a free aggregator of ClustrMaps public records that ties your name to your address, your neighbors and your phone number, indexed well enough in Google that your ClustrMaps page often appears on the first page of results for your own name.
What Data ClustrMaps Shows About You
Fields vary by record. A person or address page can include any of the following:
Data type
What appears
Why it matters
Name and age
Full name, aliases or name variants, approximate age
Confirms identity to anyone searching
Addresses
Current address and address history, with dates
Main risk for stalking, harassment and doxxing
Phone numbers
Landline and mobile numbers tied to the address
Enables spam, scams and SIM swap targeting
Household and relatives
Other residents, likely relatives, associated people
Exposes family members who never opted in
Neighbors
Names of people at nearby addresses
Makes your home easy to locate on a map
Property and business data
Assessor details, business registrations at the address, licenses
Links home and work identities
Email clues
Email addresses on some records
Used for phishing and account takeover attempts
Because one person can appear on a person page, several address pages (one per past address) and a business page, a single ClustrMaps removal often means several submissions.
Before You Start: What You Need
A list of every address you have lived at in roughly the last 15 years. ClustrMaps indexes address history, so old addresses can keep pages alive.
Your current and old phone numbers, to run a ClustrMaps search by phone number and catch records filed under a misspelled name.
A separate email address for privacy requests. Data brokers do not need your main inbox, and a dedicated address keeps opt-out confirmations in one place.
A simple log (a note or spreadsheet) with each page URL, the date you submitted it and the date you checked it. You will use it in the verification step.
ClustrMaps Opt Out: Step-By-Step
The steps below follow ClustrMaps’ own opt-out page and current published walkthroughs. ClustrMaps blocks automated access, so we could not submit a live test request while writing this guide; if a field or button label differs slightly when you visit, follow what the form asks for and keep the same order.

Step 1: Find Your ClustrMaps Listing
Go to clustrmaps.com and use the person search. Enter your first and last name and, if prompted, your city and state. If you get too many matches, use the ClustrMaps search by phone number or search your street address instead. Try spelling variants, maiden names and initials, since records are often filed under a slightly different name.
Step 2: Copy The Exact Page URL
Click into the record that matches you (check the age, past cities and relatives to be sure). Copy the full URL from the browser’s address bar. Person pages and address pages have different URL patterns; ClustrMaps’ form example uses an address page in the format clustrmaps.com/a/ followed by a short code. Either type can be submitted.
Step 3: Open The Opt-Out Page
Scroll to the footer and click “Opt Out,” or go straight to clustrmaps.com/bl/opt-out. Some walkthroughs reach the same flow through a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” footer link.
Step 4: Submit The Removal Request
In the Removal Request box, paste the URL of the page where you saw your information. ClustrMaps’ own instruction reads: “Please enter the address of the page where you saw the information you want us to remove.” Recent walkthroughs report that the form may also ask for your name and email, and may show a list of data items with checkboxes. If you see checkboxes, tick all of them so the whole record is suppressed, not just one field. Enter your name and address exactly as they appear on the listing so the request matches.
Step 5: Confirm And Save Proof
Complete the CAPTCHA if one appears. If ClustrMaps sends a confirmation email, open it and click the link promptly, and check your spam folder if it does not arrive within a few minutes. Screenshot the confirmation screen and note the date in your log.
Step 6: Repeat For Every Page
Go back to your search results and repeat steps 2 to 5 for every other ClustrMaps page that shows you: each past address, any business listing and any duplicate person page. One submission removes one page.
If The Form Does Not Work
ClustrMaps says that if your name appears on the site but is not in the public datasets it cites, you should contact it directly. The site has a contact page at clustrmaps.com/bl/contacts. Include the page URL and your name and address exactly as they appear, and nothing more than the form would require.
The Second Route: Remove The Record At The Source
ClustrMaps offers a second route that most guides skip. Its opt-out page says each address page lists its data sources at the bottom, and if you “ask the agency to remove your info from their datasets, then this data will be removed from our website.”
This is worth doing only in specific cases, because most public records cannot simply be deleted on request. Where it can help:
Source shown on the page
What you can ask for
Business registration (Secretary of State)
Use a registered agent address instead of your home address on future filings
Liquor or professional license
Update the public address of record to a business or PO box address
City 311 data
Ask whether the city can redact the requester name or address on your report
County assessor or property records
Check whether your state has an address confidentiality program (common for domestic violence survivors, judges, law enforcement and election workers)
If you are in a protected category, an address confidentiality program can do more for you than any single opt-out, because it cuts the data off before brokers collect it. Our guide on how to remove your address from the internet covers those programs.
How Long ClustrMaps Removal Takes
Stage
Typical time
Filling in the form for one page
About 5 minutes
Full opt-out for one person with several addresses
15 to 30 minutes
Page removed from ClustrMaps
Often immediate to a few days; published tests report removal within about a week
Google result disappears
Days to several weeks, faster with a Google removal request
Source-agency route
Weeks to months, depending on the agency
ClustrMaps does not publish a fixed processing time on its opt-out page, so plan to check once after 48 hours and again after seven days.
How To Verify Your ClustrMaps Removal Worked
Open each URL in your log in a private or incognito window, so you are not seeing a cached copy. A removed page should show an error or no personal data.
Search ClustrMaps again by name, by each past address and by each phone number. Removal of one page does not remove duplicates.
Search Google for "your name" clustrmaps and for site:clustrmaps.com "your name". If a snippet still shows your details after the page is gone, use the Google steps below.
Mark the date in your log and set a reminder to repeat the check in 90 days.
Removing ClustrMaps Pages From Google Search
Opting out of ClustrMaps removes the page from the site. Google can keep showing the old snippet until it recrawls. Two free tools speed that up:
Results about you: Google’s tool for requesting removal of results that show your phone number, home address or email, with alerts when new ones appear. It works even if the source page is still live, but it only hides the result in Google, not on ClustrMaps.
ClustrMaps’ opt-out only covers ClustrMaps. Its data comes from the same public-record pipelines that feed dozens of other people search sites, so if you are on ClustrMaps you are very likely on these too. Each has its own process:
If you want to clear all of them in one sitting, our guide to deleting your personal information from the internet sets out the order to work in.
Why ClustrMaps Relists You And How To Keep It Off
An opt-out suppresses the current page. It does not delete the underlying public record, so ClustrMaps can build a new page when fresh data arrives. The common triggers:
You move. A new address creates a new address page, with no link to your old opt-out.
You get a new phone number or register a business at home.
A source dataset refreshes and your record no longer matches the one you suppressed (for example, a middle initial is added).
A relative or housemate’s page lists you as an associated person.
How to keep it off:
Recheck ClustrMaps every three months, and always after a move or number change.
Turn on Google’s Results about you alerts so you hear about new pages quickly.
Use a PO box, virtual mailbox or registered agent address on business filings and licenses.
If you live in California, file one request through the state’s free Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP). Registered data brokers had to start processing DROP requests on 1 August 2026 and must check the platform at least every 45 days. Check whether a site is on the state registry before relying on DROP alone.
Consider a paid service that rescans and resubmits automatically (next section).

DIY is the right call if ClustrMaps is one of a handful of sites showing you. If your name brings up ten or more broker pages, or you have a safety reason to stay unlisted, a service usually pays for itself in time saved.

ClustrMaps Opt Out FAQ
Is The ClustrMaps Opt Out Free?
Yes. ClustrMaps does not charge to remove a page, and you do not need an account. Be wary of any site that asks for payment to complete a ClustrMaps removal on your behalf without explaining what it does.
How Do I Remove My Information From ClustrMaps If I Cannot Find My Page?
Search by each past address and phone number rather than by name, since many records are filed under address pages. If you still cannot find it but Google shows a ClustrMaps result, click that result and copy its URL into the removal form.
Where Does ClustrMaps Get My Information?
ClustrMaps says it uses government public records, naming the US Census Bureau, city 311 departments, alcohol beverage control agencies, Secretary of State offices and county assessors. The source list for each address appears at the bottom of its page.
Does Removing Info From ClustrMaps Delete The Public Record?
No. It removes the ClustrMaps page only. The original record stays with the agency, and other people search sites can still publish it.
Can I Remove A Relative’s ClustrMaps Page?
The form only asks for the page URL, so it is technically possible, but the person on the record should make or approve the request. For a parent or a minor child, keep a note of why you submitted it.
Is ClustrMaps People Search Legal?
Generally yes in the US, because it republishes records that are already public. Some states now require data brokers to register and honor deletion requests, which is why tools like California’s DROP exist.
Why Is My Page Still On Google After The ClustrMaps Removal?
Google is showing a cached copy. Submit the URL to Google’s Refresh Outdated Content tool, or file a Results about you request if the snippet shows your phone, address or email.
How Often Should I Check ClustrMaps After Opting Out?
Every three months, and after any move or new phone number. Those changes are the most common reason a new page appears.
Need More Than An Opt Out?
If people search pages are part of a bigger problem, such as harassment, a damaging article or results you cannot remove yourself, the ReVerb reputation management hub explains your options, and our list of the top content removal and deindexing service providers covers firms that handle the cases DIY cannot.
The Short Version
Search clustrmaps.com by name, address and phone, and copy the URL of every page that shows you.
Paste each URL into the Removal Request form at clustrmaps.com/bl/opt-out, confirm, and save proof.
Check again after 48 hours and seven days, then clean up Google with Refresh Outdated Content or Results about you.
Opt out of the overlapping sites too: Whitepages, TruePeopleSearch, Nuwber, FamilyTreeNow, ThatsThem and Acxiom.
Recheck every three months, or pay a removal service to do it for you.
