How to opt out of Lookify
- 1
Open the opt-out tool
Go to lookify.io/opt-out. Lookify's privacy policy names this page as the way to get a public listing taken down, including a listing about someone under 18.
- 2
Submit the request
Follow the form on that page. If you'd rather not use it, the California privacy statement also accepts requests by email to support@lookify.io.
- 3
Expect a verification step
Lookify says it may ask for more information to confirm you are who you say you are, and it can't act on a request it can't verify.
- 4
Search for yourself again
A few days later, look yourself up on lookify.io to check the listing is gone. Lookify reported a median of 1 day to respond to opt-out and delete requests in 2024.

Covered under New Jersey's Daniels Law?
Judges and their family members can use the Privacy Rights Request Form and pick "NJ Covered Persons Redaction/Non-Disclosure Request (Daniels Law)" from the dropdown.
Watch out for
- The opt-out only touches Lookify. The policy says it cannot remove information from the third-party sources it draws on, such as phone books, social networks or government records.
- If Lookify can't verify you, a deletion request is handled as an opt-out of sale instead, so the record may not be deleted outright.
- Lookify denied 157 of 2,530 deletion requests in 2024, according to its California registry filing.

Does it come back?
Lookify doesn't publish a relisting policy. Because it rebuilds listings from public sources, search for your name again every few months and repeat the request if you reappear.
Your rights
California: CCPA. If you live in California, the CCPA lets you ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you and to stop selling or sharing it. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond. Read the full guide.
California: the Delete Act. Data brokers that hold information on Californians must register with the state. California residents can use DROP, the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, to send one deletion request to every registered broker at once. Read the full guide.
Other US states. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and a growing list of other states give residents a similar right to delete. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also make data brokers register with the state. Where no state law applies, the broker's own opt-out above still works for most people. Read the full guide.

Frequently asked
Is the Lookify opt-out free?
Lookify's California statement says it doesn't charge a fee for requests unless one is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded.
How long does Lookify take to remove a listing?
Lookify doesn't state a removal window. Its 2025 figures show a mean of 3 days and a median of 1 day to respond to delete and opt-out requests.
Can I delete my Lookify account separately?
Yes. Email support@lookify.io with "Account Deletion Request" in the subject and the address on the account. Lookify aims to finish within 10 business days. Deleting the account doesn't remove a public listing.
