Dear S,
We understand some of the information that comes up during a search is not accurate. Unfortunately, there is no way to edit the search results currently. Spokeo is a search engine specialized in aggregating people-related information from phone books, social networks, marketing lists, business sites, and other public sources. We are working hard to make search results that are updated and accurate. This can be difficult as we do not create or maintain any of the data, and do not act as a social network where people create their own profiles and later edit them. That said, some of these sources do take the time to update the information over time in accordance to their own policies so do check back over time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
If you do not feel comfortable publishing your listing, you can opt out of Spokeo. This can be done by clicking on the Privacy link located in the bottom of our home page. Once on this page, please click on our "Opt-Out Form" located at the bottom of the page which will take you here: http://www.spokeo.com/optout
To Remove Phone/Name/Email/Username Listings:
1. Locate the listing you want removed by clicking on the exact profile based on the physical address

3. Click on the Privacy link located in the bottom of our home page and click on the "Opt-Out Form" which will direct you here: http://www.spokeo.com/optout

5. Provide your email address (this acts as a verification process for the confirmation to be sent to your Inbox)
6. Type in the Captcha Code (type the code exactly as you see it)
7. Check your Inbox for the confirmation email, and click on the link at the bottom to complete the removal process.
If you encounter any difficulties, we can also help you remove the listing(s) here via email if you provide the details of the listing(s). To ensure that we do so accurately, please kindly provide the URL of the listing(s) you wish to remove.
How To Obtain The URL:
The URL can be found in the address bar located at the top of your browser. For Name Listings, make sure you locate the profile by narrowing the city and state and clicking on the exact profile. The URL should look like one of these examples:
Name Listing: http://www.spokeo.com/search?q=John+Doe#California:1234567890
