How to Remove Yourself From SearchQuarry

To opt out of SearchQuarry, open the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the footer of searchquarry.com (when we checked in September 2026 it led to members.searchquarry.com/opt-out). That opt-out page sends you to a privacy request portal, where you submit your request with enough detail for SearchQuarry to find and verify your record. It may ask you follow-up questions to confirm your identity, and its opt-out page says it responds within 45 days or tells you if it needs more time. The request is free, and you should use a throwaway email for it.

SearchQuarry is less of a single-profile site than some people-search brands. It sells searches of public records, so the opt-out is really a privacy request about the data it holds on you. This guide covers how to submit one, what it can and can’t reach, and what to check afterward. For a plan that covers many sites, see our guide on how to remove yourself from people-search sites.

What SearchQuarry is

SearchQuarry is a US public-records search site. Its reports draw on records that are available from government and commercial sources, and it sells access to searches that can include:

• Names, ages, addresses and phone numbers
• Possible relatives and associates
• Court, criminal and arrest records where available
• Vehicle and license plate lookups
• Property and other public filings

Most of the detail sits behind a paid search rather than on free public profile pages. That matters in two ways. You may not find a neat “profile URL” to submit, and the data you want gone may still be sitting in the records SearchQuarry draws on even after your request.

SearchQuarry’s own opt-out page is also frank about accuracy. It says it aggregates publicly available information and doesn’t verify it or vouch for its accuracy, and that expunged or sealed records may still appear in its database. If a report shows a record that a court has sealed or expunged, say so clearly in your request.

Before you start

• Use a separate email address. You’ll need to give one. A throwaway or dedicated privacy address keeps your main inbox out of it.
• Gather your identifiers. Your full name and variations, current and recent addresses, and phone numbers. The more closely your request matches the record, the easier it is to find.
• Go to the real site. Type searchquarry.com yourself and follow its footer link. Don’t use an ad or a look-alike “removal” site.
• Don’t buy a report just to opt out. You shouldn’t need to pay to make a privacy request.
• Keep a log. Note the date, what you submitted and any confirmation or reference number.

Step by step: the SearchQuarry opt out

1. Open the opt-out page. On searchquarry.com, scroll to the footer and choose the link for opting out or exercising your privacy rights. The current page explains the policy and links to the request portal.
2. Read the page first. It sets out who can make which request and what information SearchQuarry needs. Forms change, so follow what’s in front of you.
3. Open the privacy request portal. Use the link on SearchQuarry’s opt-out page. When we checked in September 2026, it led to a request form hosted by the privacy-management provider TrustArc rather than a plain email address.
4. Choose your request type. If the form offers a choice, pick the option closest to what you want, such as opting out of sale or sharing, or deletion if your state’s privacy law gives you that right.
5. Enter your details. Give your name, the location details the form asks for and your throwaway email. Only provide what’s needed to match your record.
6. Answer any verification questions. SearchQuarry says it may ask additional questions to confirm the information associated with you. Reply promptly, and check your spam folder for its messages.
7. Save the confirmation. Keep any confirmation screen or email with the date.

SearchQuarry’s opt-out page says it responds within 45 days, or tells you if it needs more time. Treat that as the outer limit it has published, not a promise of when your data will disappear from every search.

If you want deletion rather than an opt-out

An opt-out usually stops your information from being shown or sold. A deletion request asks the company to erase what it holds, subject to exceptions. Whether you have a legal right to deletion depends on where you live. Several US states now have comprehensive privacy laws with a deletion right, and each has its own exceptions and verification rules.

SearchQuarry’s opt-out page also says it honors Global Privacy Control signals. That’s a browser setting that tells sites you don’t want your data sold or shared. It helps with data collected from your browsing, but it doesn’t remove records SearchQuarry already holds, so still send the request. Our guide to Global Privacy Control explains how to turn it on.

If you live in California, the state’s single deletion mechanism for registered data brokers is another route worth using. Our guide to the California Delete Act covers it.

What the opt-out covers and what it doesn’t

Item	Covered by your SearchQuarry request?
Your information in SearchQuarry’s search results	Yes, once your request is verified and processed.
Reports someone already bought	No. They can’t be recalled.
The court, property or vehicle records at the source	No. Those stay with the agency that holds them.
Other people-search and records sites	No. Each has its own opt-out.
Google results that mention SearchQuarry and your name	Not directly. Refresh the result once the page changes.

Why your data can reappear

Records sites refresh their data from outside sources. A new address, a new phone number or a new court filing can create a new record that isn’t tied to your earlier request. That’s not unique to SearchQuarry, and it’s why most privacy guides recommend checking back.

• Search your name on SearchQuarry every few months, and soon after a move or name change.
• If you see your details again, submit a new request and mention the date of your earlier one.
• Keep your log so you can show what you already asked for.

Deal with the source records too

SearchQuarry reflects records held elsewhere. If the problem is a specific record, such as an old arrest or a dismissed case, removing it from one site won’t stop others from copying it. Look at the source:

• Court and arrest records: sealing or expungement may be possible, depending on your state and the record. Our guide on how to get a record expunged explains the basics. Talk to a lawyer about your own case.
• Property records: some states let certain people shield their address in county records.
• Search results: Google’s “Results about you” tool lets you request removal of results that show your home address, phone number or email.

If a court has sealed or expunged a record and SearchQuarry still shows it, send the court order reference with your request. Our guide to removing public records from the internet goes further.

Related sites to check next

If you’re in SearchQuarry, you’re almost certainly in other records and people-search databases. Work through the free sites first, then the paid report sites. Our data broker opt-out list collects the major ones with links to each guide, including Intelius and PeopleFinders.

A worked example

This is an illustrative scenario, not a real client.

Luis, a warehouse supervisor, had a misdemeanor case expunged several years ago. A relative runs a SearchQuarry search and tells him the old case still shows up.

• He opens SearchQuarry’s footer opt-out link and follows it to the privacy request portal, using a new email address set up for privacy requests.
• He submits a deletion request, gives his name and the cities he’s lived in, and notes that the case was expunged, with the court and case number.
• SearchQuarry replies with a verification question to confirm the information associated with him. He answers the same day.
• Within the published window he gets a response confirming the request. He checks again and his record no longer appears in search results.
• He works through other records sites using the same expungement details, and sets a reminder to check in four months.

Common mistakes

• Paying for a report first. You don’t need to buy anything to make a privacy request.
• Ignoring the verification message. If you don’t answer, the request may stall.
• Giving more data than asked. Provide what’s needed to match your record, no more.
• Using your main email. Use a throwaway or dedicated address.
• Stopping at one site. The same records appear on many others. Our guides to PrivateEye and USA People Search cover two more.
• Assuming it’s permanent. Check back every few months.

When to get help

A SearchQuarry request is manageable on your own. Help makes sense when an old record is showing up across many sites, when your safety is at stake, or when records sites are one piece of a larger problem with your name in search. Our personal reputation management service handles opt-outs, follow-ups and wider cleanup, and we’ll tell you plainly what can be removed and what will need ongoing monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

Is the SearchQuarry opt out free?

Yes. Making a privacy request through SearchQuarry’s opt-out page shouldn’t cost anything, and you don’t need to buy a report first.

How long does SearchQuarry take to respond?

Its opt-out page says it responds within 45 days, or notifies you if more time is needed. Many requests may move faster, but plan around the published window and follow up if you hear nothing.

Why does SearchQuarry show an expunged record?

SearchQuarry says it aggregates publicly available information and that expunged or sealed records may still appear. Include the court and case details in your request, and ask other records sites to update too.

Does Global Privacy Control remove me from SearchQuarry?

No. SearchQuarry says it honors the signal, but that applies to data collected as you browse. To remove records it already holds, submit a privacy request.
