What Intelius collects

Name, address, phone, and a summary of the kind of data that shows up in background checks.

What we'd tell a friend

One of the cleaner processes in this set — no phone call, no ID scan. Intelius is run by PeopleConnect, so a single opt-out here also suppresses its sister sites TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and US Search.

Why this can come back

Most people-search and aggregator sites re-crawl their public-record sources on a rolling basis. An opt-out removes today's listing; it doesn't stop the site from re-pulling your record the next time it refreshes. That's the reason removal is something you check on periodically, not a one-time task — see our full removal guide for the re-listing mechanics in detail.
