Notes

While Intellius will not delete your account login, you can request to have your records removed. Send an email to Intelius support to request deletion. A support representative will eventually respond with instructions on how to delete your account. Follow these directions CAREFULLY, as they describe a process that is VERY similar to a Public Records Opt Out, which does not necessarily involve data deletion. Note: The request process may include selecting your public records from a list. If your records do not appear, scroll to the bottom of the list and click the link to "continue with your CCPA request". Click the link in the resulting email confirmation. Within 24 hours, your records should no longer appear on Intelius, barring extenuating circumstances. To permanently close your account, the best option is to change and forget your login credentials.

Step-by-step checklist

  1. Back up your data
    Download any data you want to keep (messages, photos, invoices) before you start.
  2. Sign in on the official domain
    Verify the domain matches the official service before you enter credentials.
  3. Find “Delete account” vs “Deactivate”
    Follow the official flow and look for a permanent deletion option.
  4. Confirm the request and capture proof
    Complete any confirmations and save a screenshot/email confirmation as proof of request.
  5. Revoke access and cancel payments
    Disconnect third-party logins, revoke app permissions, and remove payment methods if relevant.
  6. Wait for completion, then verify
    Some data may remain due to policy or legal reasons. If you get a grace period email, mark the final deletion date and re-check after it passes.
