Searchbug respects your state statutory privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and applicable federal regulations. Use this hub to select the appropriate option to opt out, suppress public profile visibility, request deletion, or submit special legal exemptions.
Choose Your Request Type:Under CCPA/CPRA, California residents and U.S. consumers have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of their personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or public profile lookup. Submitting an Opt-Out request suppresses your record from our public people search search engine.
Streamlined Compliance Notice (§ 7026 CCPA Regulations). Per California CCPA rules, requesting to opt out of data sales or sharing does not require driver's license or government identity card uploads. We only require sufficient name and record location details to ensure accuracy in suppressing the correct file.
You have the right to request the permanent deletion of non-public personal information Searchbug holds about you (CCPA § 1798.105), such as registered customer account profiles, payment methods, order histories, or direct support tickets.
Note: Deletion applies to user accounts and direct customer records. To suppress your record from appearing in Searchbug public search reports, please submit an Opt-Out / Do Not Sell Request above.
Identity Protection. To prevent fraudulent or malicious account deletions, deletion requests require government-issued photo ID verification.
Statutory Exemption Exceptions. Certain transaction records, billing logs, and tax data may be legally retained under federal and state compliance exemptions (e.g., fraud defense, tax compliance, or active service contracts).
Under CCPA/CPRA, registered Searchbug account holders have the right to request an individualized report detailing the specific pieces and categories of personal information Searchbug holds about their account, billing history, and usage over the prior 12 months
Note: Searchbug does not collect or maintain personally identifiable account data for non-registered website visitors or individuals appearing in public search reports. If you wish to remove your information from public search results, please submit an Opt-Out / Do Not Sell Request above.

California Delete Act & DROP Participation. California's Delete Act established the Delete Request and Opt-Out Platform (“DROP”), allowing California residents to direct deletion requests to registered data brokers via a single state portal. Searchbug regularly evaluates statutory registration thresholds under California Civil Code § 1798.140 and related regulations to maintain full legal compliance.
Understanding Public Source Records vs. Searchbug Opt-Outs. Searchbug aggregates information derived from third-party data providers and official public sources (such as court records, property filings, and telecommunications data). Searchbug does not own, manage, or delete original underlying government files or public records.
Submitting a request through our Privacy Requests Portal suppresses your records from appearing in Searchbug search results and reports. To remove public records at the source, requests must be submitted directly to the originating government agency or primary data repository.
