Remove yourself from The Real Yellow Pages

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

Steps

  1. Understand what the site is: therealyellowpages.com is Thryv's page-by-page viewer of its printed directories. If you are in it, you are in a printed phone book, and the scan will not change until the next edition.
  2. Find your listing in the viewer and note the directory name and page so you can describe it.
  3. Open the Thryv privacy request form — the "verifiable consumer request" form from Thryv's privacy policy, which covers all Thryv directory sites.
  4. Choose the deletion request type, fill in your name, email and the listing details, and submit. Click the verification link the form emails you.
  5. Or call Thryv's privacy line at 1-844-998-4798. To keep out of the next printed white pages, ask your phone company for a non-published number — Thryv gets residential listings from the carriers.
  6. Re-check the online viewer when the next edition is posted; Thryv has up to 45 days to answer the request itself.
Superpages, Yellowpages.com and The Real Yellow Pages are all Thryv, and one privacy request to Thryv covers all of them. The people-search section of yellowpages.com is fed by Intelius, so a listing there also needs a PeopleConnect suppression (see the Addresses.com / Intelius guides). Thryv has up to 45 days by law to act; expect emails asking you to confirm. Nothing here removes you from the printed phone book — that comes from your phone company.
