How to Remove Yourself from YellowPages (2026 Guide)

By The KinKeeper team · Last verified July 9, 2026

KinKeeper's Data Removal covers YellowPages automatically.

Quick answer: YellowPages.com holds very little personal data itself these days. Its Find People search hands you off to Intelius, so the removal that matters happens at https://suppression.peopleconnect.us, where you confirm by email and mark the record as suppressed. If a personal listing sits on an actual yellowpages.com page, email ypcsupport@yp.com and ask for removal. Free, about 15 minutes. Suppression takes about 72 hours; the email route takes 3 to 10 business days.

What is YellowPages?

The printed phone book grew up and moved online, and yellowpages.com is where it landed. Thryv runs it now, and it is almost entirely a business directory: plumbers, dentists, tow trucks. Here is the honest part many guides skip: there is not much residential listing data left on the site itself. Click “Find People” and a notice appears telling you that you are leaving Yellowpages.com and being redirected to Intelius.com, a people search broker with its own database. Decades of old white pages data still circulate through partner directories, though, and those recycled listings help fill the call sheets and mailing lists that keep spam and scam attempts landing on older people.

Before you start

Everything below is free. A directory that wants money to take down your own information is one to walk away from.

You will need an email address you check often, the URL of any listing you find on yellowpages.com, and about 15 minutes. Keep expectations straight: this is one stop out of the twenty odd on a family’s list, and the twist at this one is that the listing you found is probably not stored where you found it.

Doing this for a parent? The support email can go out from your own inbox with their details, though YellowPages may ask for verification before it acts. The Intelius suppression tool verifies through the listed person’s email or phone, so do that piece together. The payoff is concrete: each listing that comes down means fewer telemarketing calls, less junk mail, and fewer scam letters making it to their kitchen table.

How to opt out of YellowPages

  1. Go to https://www.yellowpages.com, click “Find People,” and search the name. If the site shows the notice that you are being redirected to Intelius.com, the record lives with Intelius, not YellowPages.
  2. For those records, use the PeopleConnect Suppression Center at https://suppression.peopleconnect.us. Enter your email, click the confirmation link it sends, verify identity, find the matching record, and set it to suppressed. One request there also covers TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and US Search. (Our Intelius guide walks through this tool step by step.)
  3. If a personal listing actually sits on a yellowpages.com page, recent removal guides suggest emailing ypcsupport@yp.com with the full name, the listing URL, and a plain request to remove it. If that address bounces, use Thryv’s privacy request form or phone line from the next step, which are published by the company itself.
  4. To make Thryv delete the data it holds under state privacy laws, use the web form linked in the “Exercising your Rights” section of its privacy policy at https://corporate.thryv.com/privacy/, or call 1-844-998-4798. Thryv accepts requests from an authorized agent who has written permission.
  5. Still getting a printed phone book on the doorstep? https://www.yellowpagesoptout.com, linked from Thryv’s own privacy policy, stops delivery.

How long it takes

PeopleConnect says suppression usually takes effect within about 72 hours, with up to 10 business days to clear its sister sites. Guides that track the ypcsupport email route report 3 to 10 business days for a reply. Thryv’s formal privacy requests start with identity verification, and state privacy laws generally give companies about 45 days to respond.

Check back in a few months

Directory data gets passed around. A new phone account, a move, or a refreshed data feed can plant a fresh listing that your old requests never touched, either here or on a partner site. Search the name again roughly every 90 days and repeat whichever step applies. KinKeeper’s Data Removal does this automatically across dozens of broker sites and re-checks every 90 days.

Frequently asked questions

Does YellowPages.com still publish home addresses and phone numbers?

Barely. Today it is a business directory run by Thryv, and its Find People feature forwards you to Intelius, a separate people search company. Most of the personal data a search turns up lives there, not on YellowPages itself.

I am doing this for my dad. Can I send the removal request for him?

You can send the ypcsupport@yp.com email on his behalf, though support may ask for verification before acting. The Intelius suppression step confirms identity through his email or phone, so plan to do that part sitting next to him.

Why does his listing still show on other directory sites after YellowPages removed it?

Phone directory data was syndicated to partner sites for decades, and each partner keeps its own copy. Every site needs its own opt-out, which is exactly why this chore turns into a long list.
