While it is somewhat time consuming to remove whitepages.com posts, the process is somewhat time consuming. Removing information requires a user to create and verify an account. The process is seemingly designed to require users to verify accurate information before allowing them to remove it from public view. Whitepages.com sells information to corporate partners and commercial accounts, and these companies have direct access to whitepages.com databases, so removing your personal information from whitepages.com may make it more valuable to companies who are willing to pay for it.
We recommend limiting whitepages.com’s ability to contact you by signing up for a fake email address before beginning this process. Whether you decided to use your real email address or a fake one, sign up for an account on the site and search for yourself. You will find a form page with your information filled out. At this point you can selectively “hide” information from this page. There may also be an option to “hide all” information from the eyes of the general public. Keep in mind that “hide” is very different than remove and creating an account may require you to verify the accuracy of your personal information. This allows your to remove information from search engines, but simultaneously makes your profile more valuable for someone wishing to purchase it privately.
