How to opt out of Social Catfish
To remove your personal information from Social Catfish, use its official opt-out page and follow the form process. Filing yourself is free. Check the site's current verification requirements. Keep confirmation and check the result afterward. Removal can take time, and listings may return.
Steps
- Search Social Catfish for your name and city and open the result that matches you. Copy its URL; most opt-out forms ask for it.
- Open the official opt-out page at socialcatfish.com.
- Paste your listing URL (or search inside the form) and fill in the details it asks for.
- Save the confirmation number or email, and take a dated screenshot of the listing before and after.
- Re-check in a few weeks, and again every few months. Listings often come back when the site buys fresh data.
Things to know

Keep proof
Whether you file yourself or have someone do it, keep a dated screenshot of the listing before and after, and the confirmation email or number. If the listing comes back, that record is what you'll point to. That's the whole idea behind Quietname's proof records.
