ThatsThem is a people-search site. Its opt-out removes your records from its public search. The site is clear that your information may still appear on similar sites, so treat this as one step in a longer cleanup.
How to remove yourself from ThatsThem
1Find your records first
Search ThatsThem for your name and note each record that belongs to you. The site expects a separate request for each record, so a list saves time.
2Open the opt-out form
Use the ThatsThem opt-out page and fill in the form.
3Enter the details it asks for
The form asks for your full name, email address, street address, state, city, ZIP code and phone number. ThatsThem says these fields let it find the correct record or records. Use details that match the record you want removed.
4Submit one request per record
If you find several records with different information for the same person, ThatsThem says you need a request for each one.
5Check the result
ThatsThem says the opt-out removes your records from its public search. Search the site again afterwards to confirm each record is gone.
Search engine results
ThatsThem notes that its result pages may have been indexed by search engines. It says it works to have opt-out requests de-indexed, but the process can take more than 5 to 7 days and is outside its control. If a result still appears after that, you may need to contact the search engine's support directly. See why removed information can still appear in search results for how cached copies behave.
Removal is one half of the job. Check whether your email has leaked as well.

What the opt-out page does not say
The page does not describe an identity check, does not state a processing time for the removal itself and does not say whether a record can return. Keep a record of what you submitted and the date, and recheck after a week.
Keep going
Because your details may still appear on similar sites, continue with How to Remove Yourself From People-Search Sites. If a record comes back, see what to do when removed information keeps reappearing and how to verify a removal.
