How long does it take intelius to remove my information?

Once you submit your opt-out request, intelius can take up to 90 days to honor it. They typically update their records every three months, which means you might have to wait three months to see your data removed. There is no fast way to do this. But the good new is, once you've submitted your removal request, it eventually will be removed.

The downside is that they may re-collect your data in the future and start selling it again. This is why it's worth having a monitoring service like privacyon.com who will scan the web for your information every month to ensure it has not been re-listed.

Privacyon.com will automatically submit opt-out requests on your behalf to intelius and over 50 other data brokers who sell your personal information. This saves you countless hours of submitting removal requests, and having to check every month if your data has been relisted.
