DATA BROKER REMOVAL GUIDE
How to Remove Yourself from WhitePages — Complete UK Guide
Updated July 2026 · 5 min read · By Silent Erase | ICO Registered C1971457
WhitePages is one of the largest people search websites in the world. Despite being US based it lists personal information about millions of UK residents including names, addresses, phone numbers and family connections. Here is how to remove your data.
Why this matters:
WhitePages data is frequently purchased by cold callers and scammers to target UK residents. Removing your listing reduces your exposure to fraud significantly.
How to Remove Your Data from WhitePages
1
Find your listing
Go to whitepages.com and search for your name and location. Find your specific listing and copy the full URL.
2
Go to the opt-out page
Visit whitepages.com/suppression_requests/new. Paste the URL of your listing and click the opt-out button.
3
Verify via phone
WhitePages requires phone verification for opt-outs. Enter a phone number to receive a verification code — this does not have to be the number listed.
