How do I edit or remove a personal listing?

Whitepages firmly believes in using data for good, and we understand that people have different needs when it comes to privacy. We will respect and assist with any requests for privacy as it relates to the information we provide.

Currently, it is not possible to make edits to individual listings. This is an option we hope to have in the future so that you have more control over what information is available.

If you'd like to remove a listing associated with your identity, we can help. Please first obtain the URL/web address that contains your contact details, and then use that URL/web address to complete the opt-out process.

Please be aware that Whitepages is not the only company that publishes contact information online. Whitepages is only able to remove information on the services we provide. If you are concerned about privacy, we recommend searching for other websites that may potentially publish your information.

How to get the URL/web address for your listing

1. Use the Person Search feature to search for your listing by using your first & last name, along with city and state.
2. Locate your listing on the results page, and then click View Details.
   
3. Confirm that the listing is associated with your identity. This can be done by verifying the available phone number and address as yours.
4. Copy the URL/web address from the address bar. The URL/web address can be found in the address bar at the top of your internet browser. After highlighting the text, you can right-click and select copy. This will digitally copy the URL so that you can use it in the next step.
   Please note: The URL/web address you copy will have a small reference number at the end, usually 11 digits long, such as: whitepages.com/name/Example-A-Person/Seattle-WA/Abcd12345ef
