How to remove yourself from Criminal.com

Categoryother (public-records "guide"/affiliate site with a self-branded name-search tool)
DifficultyMedium — requires chasing whichever underlying broker is actually surfacing your data, not a single flow
Time to processVaries by downstream broker; the guide cites brokers generally having up to 45 days to comply (CCPA-style timeline)

Primarily editorial/guide content pointing to official public-record sources and third-party people-search tools; also offers its own third-party name-search widget (exact data fields shown were not confirmed during this audit).

Owner / network: Unclear — self-described as "a privately operated guide to public-record sources," explicitly not a government agency or consumer reporting agency; monetizes via affiliate commissions from linked people-search/privacy services

Removing yourself, step by step

  1. 01

    Search your own name on Criminal.com to see whether a preview/profile appears.

  2. 02

    Visit https://criminal.com/remove-my-records/ for curated opt-out links to major people-search services.

  3. 03

    Follow the specific opt-out flow for whichever underlying broker (Whitepages, Spokeo, BeenVerified, TruthFinder, PeopleConnect/Intelius) is actually showing your data.

  4. 04

    Confirm each removal via the email confirmation link that broker sends.

  5. 05

    California residents can use the state's free "DROP" tool (single deletion request to 500+ registered brokers) referenced on the page; alternatively use a paid service like Optery for ongoing monitoring.

Data brokers re-list. Check again in 30–60 days.

Re-listing risk for this site: Ongoing — the page itself warns "Brokers rebuild their lists from fresh public records, so a profile you removed can resurface months later."
