EasyOptOuts Review: Low-Cost Data Removal and Its Trade-Offs

This EasyOptOuts review in short: EasyOptOuts is a low-cost, fully automated data removal service for US residents. As of September 2026, it lists one Personal plan at $19.99 a year, covering 200+ data brokers and people-search sites, with three scans a year and a 150-day money-back guarantee. It suits people who want the most common people-search listings removed cheaply and with minimal data shared. It suits people less well if they want custom removals, a family plan, faster re-scans or coverage outside the US.

Our review is research-based. We read EasyOptOuts’ own pricing, terms, FAQ, security and sites-covered pages in September 2026. We didn’t subscribe or test an account, and we don’t give star ratings to anyone.

What EasyOptOuts is

EasyOptOuts is a small US data removal company. Its about page says it was founded by two childhood friends, Ben and Tyler, and that its team is 100% US-based. It sells one consumer plan, plus business plans for protecting employees.

Its pitch is deliberately narrow. Rather than sending requests to as many brokers as possible, it focuses on “high-visibility” people-search sites, the ones most likely to appear when someone searches your name. It says it avoids blind opt-outs to smaller, non-public brokers, because sending them your details could expose you to brokers that didn’t have your data in the first place.

How EasyOptOuts works

Based on EasyOptOuts’ pricing page and FAQ, as of September 2026:

1. You sign up and enter a short profile. It asks for your legal name, birth year, current address and a contact email. Other names, past addresses, phone numbers, extra emails and relatives’ names are optional. It says it doesn’t need a photo ID, Social Security number or power of attorney.
2. It searches and opts you out automatically. When it finds you on a covered site, its automated process submits the opt-out on the spot. It says no human workers view your data for regular opt-outs.
3. The first round takes up to about two weeks. Sites then take a couple more weeks to process removals, and Google and Bing take a few weeks more to update results.
4. You get a summary email after each round of searches and opt-outs.
5. It re-scans every four months. That’s three scans a year, to catch relisted records and newly supported sites.

Coverage

EasyOptOuts says it targets 200+ high-visibility data brokers and people-search sites, and publishes the full list on its site. That list names sites such as Whitepages, Spokeo, BeenVerified, MyLife, TruePeopleSearch and FastPeopleSearch, and also Acxiom and LexisNexis. Its FAQ says it opts you out of a few key non-public brokers that hold and share data widely.

Its own pages are clear about what it leaves out:

• PeopleConnect sites. It can’t remove you from sites run by PeopleConnect, including TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, Intelius and US Search, because their opt-out needs a message sent to your own inbox or phone. It recommends using PeopleConnect’s suppression tool yourself; our PeopleConnect opt-out guide walks through it.
• Secondary data brokers that don’t publish profiles. It skips most of these on purpose.
• Social media. You manage your own accounts and privacy settings.
• Legal records, mugshots, news and academic records. Its FAQ says these are “probably not” removable by EasyOptOuts, and notes legal records and mugshots usually need a court order.

On countries, its terms say you may only enter information for current or recent US residents.

EasyOptOuts pricing (as of September 2026)

Plan	Listed price	What it includes
Personal	$19.99 a year	200+ sites, 100% automated opt-outs, three scans a year, 150-day money-back guarantee

A few terms worth knowing, all from EasyOptOuts’ own pages:

• Discounts. It offers 25% off to nonprofits and government, says coupons generally aren’t available, and invites people who can’t afford the fee to get in touch.
• Payment. PayPal is its only payment processor, whether or not you have a PayPal account.
• Refunds. Its “Total Guarantee” promises a full refund within 150 days of signing up if you’re not happy; you ask by email.
• Canceling. You cancel from your account at any time. It says it then deletes all the data it holds about you straight away and won’t charge you again.
• No promise of removal. Its terms say it will do its best but makes no guarantees it can opt you out of any or all supported sites.

Pros and cons

Pros	Cons
Low listed yearly price	US residents only
Asks for minimal data; no ID, SSN or power of attorney	No custom removal requests for sites off its list
Fully automated, with no human handling of your data for regular opt-outs	Doesn’t cover PeopleConnect sites such as TruthFinder and Intelius
150-day money-back window	Re-scans every four months, less often than some rivals
Deletes your data when you cancel	No family plan; PayPal is the only payment route

Privacy and trust considerations

EasyOptOuts puts data minimization at the center of its pitch. Its security page says, as of September 2026:

• Data is encrypted at rest and in transit; backups are encrypted and kept for 7 days, and server logs are deleted after 30 days.
• Login is passwordless, by email only, and personal information is redacted when you view your own account.
• It never sells user information and uses no third-party analytics.
• It doesn’t store card details; PayPal handles payments.

The trade-off is that fewer requests go out. Fewer requests means less of your data is shared, but also that brokers outside its list aren’t contacted at all. Its terms also say that data you provide may be entered on other websites to opt you out, and it isn’t responsible for what those sites do with it. That’s true of every removal service, but EasyOptOuts says it plainly.

A worked example

This is an illustrative scenario, not a real client.

Desmond is a retired teacher in Ohio on a fixed income. His name search shows five people-search profiles with his address and landline. He wants them gone without paying much, and he’s wary of handing a company his Social Security number.

A low-cost automated service that asks only for his name, birth year and address fits his budget and his comfort level. He adds his old addresses so more records match. Because the service can’t handle PeopleConnect sites, he spends ten minutes on the PeopleConnect suppression tool himself. He sets a reminder to check his results before the money-back window closes.

Alternatives to EasyOptOuts

Try the free routes first, then compare paid services on the sites you actually appear on.

• Our free Reputation Scanner (launching soon). It isn’t available yet. Once it launches, it will be free to use with no account or billing. You search for yourself, it ranks the top 10 negative results by how serious they are and how likely they are to be about you, and it drafts removal requests, including for personal information and doxxing, that you review and send yourself. See the Reputation Scanner page.
• The do-it-yourself route. Our data broker opt-out list and guide to removing yourself from people-search sites cover the free opt-outs, with site guides such as the Whitepages opt-out.
• Another paid service. OneRep covers over 300 people-search sites on every plan, re-scans monthly and offers family plans for up to five people, according to its help center in September 2026. Its Pro plans add non-public brokers and custom removals. We couldn’t confirm its current prices. Read our OneRep review.
