AllPeople is not a typical home-address lookup. Guides describe it as a directory of business contacts. Listings can show a name, professional position, email address, phone number, address and company information. That makes it most relevant if you work in a public-facing role.
How to remove yourself from AllPeople
1Search for your listing
Go to allpeople.com and search by your name with a city, state or ZIP code. DeleteMe also lists email, phone and industry as search options.
2Open your listing
Find your profile in the results and click Details or your name. Confirm that the information is yours.
3Click Remove
Click Remove in the upper right corner of your listing.
4Fill in the short form
Choose a reason for removal, add any extra information, complete the CAPTCHA and click Submit. Neither guide describes an email or ID check.
5Recheck later
DeleteMe says the listing should be removed within 24 hours. Optery says there is no specific timeframe and suggests revisiting the site after a few days.
Why a business directory matters
A work email, job title and company can be enough to start a convincing scam message or to find your employer. If you work in a public-facing job, see online privacy for teachers, nurses and other public-facing workers, and see professional license and government directory listings for listings that exist for legal reasons.
Removal is one half of the job. Check whether your email has leaked as well.

What the opt-out does not cover
Removing the AllPeople listing does not remove the same business details from other directories, your employer's website or professional networks. For the wider picture, see how scammers get your phone number and email.
If a listing returns
Neither guide says whether AllPeople relists removed entries, but both say data of this kind changes constantly. Check every few months. See what to do when removed information keeps reappearing and how to verify a removal.
