Step-by-step ThatsThem opt-out
In short (detailed steps below):
- Look yourself up on ThatsThem.com to see what personal details are published

Step 1: Look yourself up on ThatsThem.com

Step 2: Check what personal details ThatsThem already exposes
Locate your record among the search results. This step is necessary to determine whether ThatsThem displays your current or outdated information. Take note of what address and telephone number are listed, as you will later type them in the opt-out form. If you find several records you want to remove, you’ll have to submit opt-out requests for each one separately.

Open the opt-out page. Fill out the form using the information exactly as it appeared in your record during the previous step. Perform the CAPTCHA and click “Submit.”
