How to remove yourself from PeekYou
PeekYou's old opt-out address now shows a domain notice instead of a form. The notice says Atlas Data Privacy Corporation controls the peekyou.com domain after a Daniel's Law lawsuit that has since settled. PeekYou publishes no working removal form there at the moment.

How to opt out of PeekYou

Know what the old form's page shows now

Understand why
The notice says Atlas sued PeekYou LLC in New Jersey in April 2025 over Daniel's Law, which protects the home addresses and unlisted phone numbers of law enforcement officers and other covered people, and that the case has been settled.

Don't type your details into lookalike forms
PeekYou publishes no working removal form at the moment, and the domain is under new control. Don't enter your name or email on any peekyou.com page that claims to remove you. This page will be updated when PeekYou publishes an opt-out.

Check your listing elsewhere
Search for your name on other people-search sites too. PeekYou's earlier policy said your information may resurface unless you also deal with the original websites that host it.

Your rights
PeekYou offers a CCPA Do Not Sell My Personal Information opt-out at peekyou.com/about/contact/ccpa_optout/do_not_sell/.
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.
