ShadowSearch provides a quick and easy process to allow you to remove your information from our People Search Results. Just search our database using the form above and select the record you would like to opt-out. We will then send you a verification email. Next you simply need to confirm the request by clicking on the link in the verification email. After you verify, we will send you an email confirming that the record you selected has been opted out.
Below are answers to some frequently asked questions about our Do Not Sell My Info/Opt-Out process. If this FAQ does not answer all of your questions, please feel free to contact us at shadowsearch@koiapps.co.
If you are a Covered Person as defined by Daniel's Law and do not want to use the automated opt-out, please email us at shadowsearch@koiapps.co. The community of Covered Persons includes former, active or retired, state or federal, judges, prosecutors, and members of law enforcement and their immediate family members residing in the same household. In order to help us locate your record and process your opt-out request, please provide either a screenshot or link to your record on our site, or your complete name, date of birth, city and state of residence, and email address. The information you share will only be used to assist with your privacy request.
ShadowSearch only uses your email address to send you an email to verify your request. We will not sell the email address that you provide as part of the Do Not Sell My Info/Opt-Out process, or use it for any other purpose, without your prior consent.
No, you do not have to be a member of ShadowSearch in order to opt-out of our People Search Results.
No, you never have to pay for the removal of your own record from ShadowSearch's People Search Results.
Once you receive our email confirming that we have processed your opt-out request, your request will be reflected in our People Search results the next time our server refreshes. In most cases, this will take 24 hours to take effect.
Once you have given our servers enough time to refresh (which in most cases will take approximately 24 hours), simply type your name back into Opt-out Search to check. In some cases, you may need to "clear your history" in your browser just in case your computer is storing and recalling information cached prior to the Do Not Sell My Info/Opt-Out request. Please contact us at shadowsearch@koiapps.co if you have any issues.
We obtain and regularly update the ShadowSearch People Search results with publicly available data from several different public and private databases. Although we do our best to match new records to the existing records in our database, there may be times when we receive a new record about you that is different enough from your existing record – for example, containing different spellings, initials, combinations of information, and/or addresses – that we cannot match this new record to your existing record. In these instances, a separate record may be created in our database, and this new record may appear in our People Search Results.
Currently, in order to prevent fraud and protect the integrity of our Do Not Sell My Info/Opt-Out process, we only permit you to remove one record from our People Search Results through our online Do Not Sell My Info/Opt-Out process. If you find more than one record about you in our People Search Results and would like to remove them all, please contact us at shadowsearch@koiapps.co and we will be happy to help you.
Once your opt-out request has been processed, that record will no longer appear in our People Search Results. However, it is possible that your name might appear in search results for the other search services available through ShadowSearch even after you opt-out of People Search.
Further, as described above, there may be times when one of our data partners provides us with a new record about you that we cannot match to the existing record. If you have previously opted-out and see a new record about you appear in our People Search Results, please contact us at shadowsearch@koiapps.co and we will be happy to help you remove that record as well.
Please note that we can only remove the records from our own site. We did not create the data and it is possible that your information may appear on other websites.
If you are located outside of the United States and wish to request the removal of your personal information from our records, you may submit a Data Subject Request (DSR) by emailing us at shadowsearch@koiapps.co. To help us process your request efficiently, please include (1) your full name, and (2) the data/information you would like removed.
