How Do I Cancel TruthFinder

Cancel your TruthFinder subscription and opt out of its people search listings. Step-by-step instructions for both, with no purchase needed.

There are two different things people mean by "cancel TruthFinder", and they need separate steps. One is stopping the paid subscription so you are no longer billed. The other is removing your own personal details from the TruthFinder search results that anyone can look up. This guide covers both.

Cancel your paid subscription

TruthFinder runs on a recurring membership. If you signed up, you are billed on a repeating cycle until you cancel. Cancelling stops future charges but does not delete the report data or remove your own listing from the site.

1. Sign in to your TruthFinder account using the email address and password you registered with.
2. Open your account or membership settings. This is usually found by clicking your account name or a settings link once you are logged in.
3. Look for the subscription or billing section and select the option to cancel the membership.
4. Follow the prompts to confirm. Read each screen, because some cancellation flows offer a discount or pause instead of a full cancellation.
5. Note down any confirmation message or reference number that appears.

If you cannot find the cancellation option, or the account page will not load, contact TruthFinder customer support directly. The support and contact details are listed on the TruthFinder website, usually in the footer or a help section. Ask them in writing to cancel the subscription and to confirm that no further charges will be made.

Cancelling stops the billing. It does not by itself remove the public record of you that TruthFinder shows to other people. For that, you need the opt-out process below.

Remove your listing from TruthFinder

TruthFinder collects information from public records and other sources and puts it into searchable profiles. Removing your subscription does nothing to this. You must submit a separate opt-out request. You do not need to be a paying member to opt out, and you do not need to buy anything.

1. Go to the TruthFinder website and find the opt-out or "do not sell my information" link. This is typically in the footer at the bottom of the page.
2. You will usually be asked to search for your own record first. Enter your name and location to find the profile that matches you.
3. Select the correct profile from the results. Check the age and associated locations to make sure it is you and not someone with the same name.
4. Provide the email address the opt-out form asks for. This is used to send you a confirmation link, so use one you can access.
5. Open the confirmation email from TruthFinder and click the verification link. The request is not processed until you confirm.
6. Keep the confirmation email and note the date you submitted the request.

After you confirm, the listing should be suppressed from TruthFinder search results within a short period. If it is still showing after a reasonable time, submit the opt-out again and keep a record of both attempts.

Your rights under CCPA

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act gives you the right to ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you and to opt out of the sale of that information. You can use these rights to make a formal deletion demand rather than relying only on the standard opt-out form.

To do this, look for the privacy request or "do not sell my information" option and state clearly that you are exercising your CCPA rights to have your personal information deleted. The business may ask you to verify your identity before acting on the request. Even if you do not live in California, it is worth submitting the standard opt-out, as most brokers apply a single removal process to everyone.

Why the listing may come back

This is the part most guides skip. Opting out of TruthFinder is not permanent. Data brokers rebuild their records from upstream feeds, public records and partner databases. Once your details are refreshed from those sources, a new profile can appear even though you opted out before. In practice, listings often reappear within a few months.

There is no way to stop this once and for all. The realistic approach is to treat opt-outs as maintenance. Check TruthFinder again every few months, search for your name, and resubmit the opt-out whenever a new profile shows up.

What cannot be removed

Some of the information that ends up on people search sites comes from public records, and those records cannot be deleted. Court filings, property ownership records, corporate registrations and voter roll entries are public by law. You can suppress the profile that TruthFinder builds from them, but you cannot erase the underlying public record itself. That is why the same details can be gathered again by any broker.

A quicker way to keep on top of it

Doing this by hand across TruthFinder and the many other brokers that hold your data takes time, and the repeat checks add up. Vanish is a Mac app that finds where brokers publish your personal information and sends CCPA deletion demands for you, then keeps checking so you do not have to track every reappearance yourself. It is an option if you would rather not manage the process manually, but everything above can be done for free.

Quick summary

• Cancelling the subscription stops billing but does not remove your public listing.
• The opt-out is a separate process and is free.
• You must click the confirmation link in the email for the opt-out to take effect.
• Listings reappear over time, so recheck every few months.
• Public records behind the listing cannot be deleted.

Common questions

Does cancelling my TruthFinder subscription remove my information?

No. Cancelling the subscription only stops future billing. Your personal details stay searchable on the site until you complete the separate opt-out process.

Is the TruthFinder opt-out free?

Yes. You do not need to be a paying member and you do not need to buy anything to opt out. The removal form is available to anyone who can find their own listing.

How long does it take for my TruthFinder listing to disappear?

It usually takes a short period after you click the confirmation link in the email. If your profile is still visible after a reasonable time, resubmit the opt-out and keep a record of each attempt.

Will my information come back after I opt out?

Often yes. Data brokers rebuild their records from public records and upstream data feeds, so a new profile can appear within a few months. Recheck and resubmit periodically.

Can I get a refund after cancelling?

Refunds are handled by TruthFinder support and depend on their policy. Contact them directly through the support details on their website and ask in writing about any charge you want reviewed.
