How long it takes

After the confirmation email, BeenVerified says the change appears in its People Search results the next time its servers refresh, which in most cases takes 24 hours.

What the opt-out covers

The online process removes one record from BeenVerified's People Search results; to remove more than one, you email privacy@beenverified.com. Your name may still appear in BeenVerified's other search services, which have their own opt-out links for Property Search and Contact Search, and BeenVerified can only remove records from its own site.

If your listing comes back

BeenVerified says a data partner may send a new record about you that it cannot match to the one you opted out, so a separate record can appear later. If that happens, it asks you to contact privacy@beenverified.com to have it removed.
