Remove yourself from Social Catfish

Estimated time: 10–15 minutes. Difficulty: easy.

Steps

  1. First, search for yourself on socialcatfish.com (name, email, phone, or a photo) and copy the URL of any profile that is you. Optional, but it speeds things up.
  2. Open the Social Catfish opt-out page and pick your current state of residence from the dropdown.
  3. Fill in the required fields: first name, last name and email address.
  4. Add whatever else helps them find you: the profile links from step 1, middle initial, age range, other emails, phone numbers, up to eight photos or image URLs, and previous states. Social Catfish is a reverse image search, so photos matter here.
  5. Submit. No CAPTCHA, phone verification or ID is required unless they suspect the request is fraudulent, in which case they may ask for more.
  6. Social Catfish commits to removing your information from sale within 15 days. Search again after that to confirm.
Social Catfish indexes by photo and username as well as name, so a removal by name alone can leave an image-only match behind — include your photos. The form is a request, not an instant delete; if nothing has changed after 15 days, submit again or email their support. Re-check every few months.
