Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, California law, including Civil Code Section 1798.83, provides you certain rights regarding Whitepages’ use and sale of certain information related to you. This portion of our Privacy Notice advises California residents of these rights and how to make requests to Whitepages under these rights.

Right to Opt-Out of Sale

We provide three options to opt out of the sale of non-public data related to you. You only need to make your request using one of the following:

1. Make a request to a customer service agent by filling out our online form;

2. Submit an email request to ccparequest@whitepages.com; OR

3. Fill out the automated tool in the box below with the URL of your Whitepages listing (instructions for obtaining the URL are below). Exercising your right in this way will both opt you out of the sale of your information and will also remove your listing from the Whitepages website. You will need to provide a phone number and agree to Whitepages’ Terms of Service. The phone number will not be used for any purpose other than completing your opt-out request. If you would prefer not to provide a phone number or agree to Whitepages’ Terms of Service, please submit a request to a customer service agent using the first or second option (online form or email) listed above.

Instructions for Obtaining URL of Your Whitepages Listing:

1. Visit whitepages.com

2. Enter your name and city/state in the People Search filter

3. Click on the result/listing that matches your identity

4. Copy the URL/link in the browser for your listing

5. Paste URL/link in the opt out tool here

PLEASE NOTE: You do not have to create an account or make a purchase to submit an opt-out request. If you use the automated tool (option 3 above), you will need to provide a phone number and agree to Whitepages’ Terms of Service. The phone number will not be used for any purpose other than completing your opt-out request. If you would prefer not to provide a phone number or agree to Whitepages’ Terms of Service, please submit a request to a customer service agent using the first or second option (webform or email) listed above. You may need to provide additional information to a customer service agent so that your opt-out request may be processed. Once a listing is removed, all known connected listings are also removed and the requester's information will not be sold by Whitepages in any capacity regardless of how/where the information was obtained. If you should happen to find your listing, or an additional listing you believe relates to you, on the site after completing an opt-out request, please submit a request to a customer service agent using the first or second option (webform or email) above.

CCPA opt-out requests may take up to 15 days to process but are often processed more quickly when feasible. Any agents making requests on your behalf may need to provide written, signed permission authorizing the agent to submit the request on your behalf.

Right to Deletion of Personal Data

California residents have the right to request the deletion of personal data as prescribed in Section 1798.105(a) of the CCPA. Exceptions to this right of deletion include, among others:

1. Public information that is made available by government agencies, including property records, street address and criminal records

2. Information that is used by Whitepages to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions and fraudulent use of personal data

3. Information that is used to deliver a product or service, such as a Whitepages Premium subscription or other purchase made on Whitepages

4. Information that Whitepages is legally required to store, such as information that falls under a court ordered legal hold

After a request to delete is made, Whitepages may retain certain personal data, as permitted or required by applicable law.

We provide the following options for requesting deletion of your data:

1. You may exercise your right under the CCPA to request deletion of your non-publicly available information. If you would like to exercise that right, please make a Deletion request using our online form.

2. Alternatively, you may exercise your right under the CCPA to request deletion of your non-publicly available information by submitting an email to ccparequest@whitepages.com.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to ensure the security of your personal data and prevent fraudulent requests, we may need to collect personal data and other information such as your name, email or transaction history in order to verify your identity. You do not need to open an account to request deletion of your information. Any agents making requests on your behalf may need to provide written, signed permission authorizing the agent to submit the request on your behalf. Any authorized agents making requests on your behalf need to provide verification information.
