Introduction

Our Privacy Policy provides detailed information about the collection, use, sharing, access and security of information gathered while visiting our Web sites. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to information we may receive from other sources, such as directory listing information, whether or not it is posted on our Web sites.

These pages are designed to provide you with information about your personal listing information that may be published on our Web sites or elsewhere on the Internet. We provide detailed instructions on how to remove your personal listing information from our Web sites and other resources you may find helpful in protecting the privacy of your personal information.

Residential Listing Information from WhitePages.com

We obtain our residential listing information from a broad variety of publicly available information sources and third party data suppliers. Users are also able to publish names and mobile phone numbers directly on our Web site, in which case the listing is marked as "user provided". At this time, we do not offer the ability to edit residential listings directly on our Web site. We hope to be able to offer this service in the future.

To remove a residential listing on WhitePages.com, follow these instructions:

  • Search for the listing on our Web site.
  • If your search includes multiple results, click "Listing Details" of the listing to be removed.
  • Scroll down to the "Privacy Options" box and click, "Is this you? Remove your listing".

We will not re-publish a listing once it has been removed. However, we continually publish new information from publicly available sources and third-party data suppliers. New information may be published from alternate data sources. We encourage you to visit our Web site regularly to check if any new listing information is published online.

Business Listing Information from WhitePages.com

Business listings in "Business Search" results are provided by our business listings partners: SuperPages.com for U.S. business listings on WhitePages.com, YellowPages.com for business listings on 411.com and 411.ca for Canadian business listings.

Business listings available via "People Search", "Reverse Phone" and "Reverse Address" results come from a broad variety of publicly available information sources and third party data suppliers. To remove a business listing from "People Search", "Reverse Phone" or "Reverse Address" results on WhitePages.com, follow these instructions:

  • Search for the listing on our Web site.
  • If your search includes multiple results, click "Listing Details" of the listing to be removed.
  • Scroll down to the "Privacy Options" box and click, "Is this you? Remove your listing".

Other Personal Information on the Internet

Controlling your personal information on the WhitePages.com site is just one step to controlling it on the Internet, as there are many other sites that contain similar information. Search engines, public records sites, social networking sites and other online companies provide different levels of information about you. Most of these sites have their own specific procedures that consumers can follow to control their personal information. We encourage you to read and understand the information practices of all companies with whom you share your personal information.

To help you better understand more about the uses and availability of certain types of information, we have provided a list of several sites that publish personal information in some form. Please be aware that although the sites listed here may provide methods for the removal of your personal information from their service, other information may be accessible in various public records documents such as property records and court filings.

What you will see here is only a summary. WhitePages.com makes no representations or warranties with respect to how the companies listed here handle your personal information. You should check each company's website frequently to learn about their most recent privacy policies and opt-out procedures.
