The first step is to identify which data brokers have your information. This usually involves searching for your name and phone number on popular search engines (Google, Bing) and noting down the sites that appear.
Individual Site Procedures: Each site has its own opt-out procedure. This often involves:
Visiting the site's privacy or "remove my information" page.

Searching for your specific listing.
Submitting a request to remove your data, which may require providing your email for verification.

Some sites might require additional verification, such as a photo turkey phone number list ID (though this should be approached with caution due to further data sharing risks).
Examples: Popular data brokers include BeenVerified, WhitePages, Acxiom, Spokeo, LexisNexis, PeopleFinder. Each has a specific process. For instance, BeenVerified typically requires an email and captcha verification. Acxiom has a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" form.
Time Commitment: Manually opting out from dozens or even hundreds of data brokers can take hundreds of hours.
