image credit: Techliciousblog
Galido.net shows everyone how to opt out of 32 top people search databases:
Intelius – https://www.intelius.com/optout.php
Intelius requires you to scan valid gov't identification to prove your identity. Intelius claims, they won’t publish your driver’s license but they'll remove your listing if you submit an ID. Don’t forget to cross out your photo and driver’s license number.
Spokeo – http://www.spokeo.com/privacy
All you have to do is copy your Spokeo URL and they’ll send you an email to confirm the deletion. Note: Spokeo is only an aggregator, so deleting your Spokeo listing won’t delete your information from the sites Spokeo is pulling from.
Instacheckmate – https://www.instantcheckmate.com/optout/
If you do not want us to share your Personal Information with any third parties, please email them at privacy@instantcheckmate.com or select the "opt out" box on our online forms. (see the video, below)

Peoplefinders – http://www.peoplefinders.com/manage
Simply fill out the form and you’re all set.
Pipl – Pipl is different since it’s a ‘meta’ site aggregator. From the fine folks at unlistmy.info:
Unfortunately, since Pipl.com aggregates information from all sorts of places on the web, there are no clear opt-out instructions. They claim that, since the information they gather is public, they reserve the right to display it in their listings without giving users the option of opting out.
This attitude towards privacy just doesn’t seem right. We suggest sending them an email asking to be removed from their search results: mail@pipl.com. Let us know if you have any luck!
