How to remove yourself from classmates.com
Name, school, graduation year, digitized yearbook photos/pages, profile photos, city — visible to search engines even for people who never registered (yearbook scans)
Owner / network: PeopleConnect, Inc. (parent of Intelius/TruthFinder/Instant Checkmate/US Search) — but Classmates does NOT use the PeopleConnect suppression center; it has its own account/removal flow
Removing yourself, step by step
- 01
Members: sign in at classmates.com, footer "Do Not Sell My Personal Information," then Privacy section 3 "Updating or Removing Your Information" → select reason → "REMOVE REGISTRATION."
- 02
Non-members: browse state → city → your high school → find your profile/yearbook page; copy the URL.
- 03
Email privacy@classmates.com with the URL, your name, grad year, and a removal/redaction request.
- 04
For yearbook photos, explicitly request redaction of your image/name from the scanned pages.
- 05
Confirm removal and request search-engine cache refresh (Google Refresh Outdated Content tool).
Data brokers re-list. Check again in 30–60 days.
Re-listing risk for this site: Low for deleted accounts; Medium for yearbook content (new scans re-add you)
