Fullnamedirectory is an online people finder service that allows web visitors to browse the full names of persons residing in the United States. The site's name directory also provides more personal information upon a name search.

The names in the site's directory are obtained from publicly available records and other related sources. With the search tool available on the homepage, an individual can search for information on another using a first name or last name. The search results contain the following information on a search subject:

  • Full name and aliases
  • Current residential address
  • Telephone number
  • Age
  • Date of birth
  • Relatives and other associates
  • Business ownership
  • Background check report including criminal records
  • Vital records (birth records and death records)

Apart from the data gathered from public sources, Fullnamedirectory also collects certain information from visitors, including:

  • The visitor's IP address
  • Date and time of visit
  • The type of web browser used
  • Viewed web pages
  • URL of a third-party site visited before Fullnamedirectory

Likewise, the personal details of web visitors are collected if provided voluntarily. For instance, when sending an email to the company or submitting a form on the site. However, such information remains private except to process search requests or adhere to a law.

Individuals who obtain any information from the site are not permitted to use it to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discredit anyone. It is also prohibited to search for information on minors, celebrities, and public officials.

Anyone with their information on Fullnamedirectory has the right to remove it (known as "opting out"). The opt-out process allows interested persons to remove listings that contain their details. More information on opting out of the site is available on the Block Records Request page.

How to Opt-Out of Fullnamedirectory

Opting out of Fullnamedirectory allows anyone with their details on the site to remove such information from public display. Note, however, that the opt-out request can only be used to delete records from Fullnamedirectory and not from other data broker sites that display such information. To opt-out of the site, interested persons should follow these steps:

Step 1

Visit the Fullnamedirectory website and use the lookup tool to search for a name.

Step 2

Select the listing containing the information you wish to take down.

Step 3

On the listing page, click "Manage my listings", located on the bottom right of the page.

Step 4

A terms and conditions popup page will appear. Type "I agree" and click "Continue".

Step 5

Select the particular listing you wish to remove and select "Continue".

Step 6

Fill in your information to confirm the listing you want to remove is yours. Add a valid email address and phone number to receive an authentication message.

Step 7

Upon receiving the message, enter the authentication code received on the site to conclude the process.

After completing these steps, Fullnamedirectory will remove the selected listings and make them inaccessible to visitors. The removal of the information occurs within 24 hours. Individuals with inquiries can contact customer support for assistance.

What Difficulties Exist when Opting Out of Fullnamedirectory

Although opting out of Fullnamedirectory is not difficult, it is possible to see multiple listings under the same name. The website regularly collates information from public sources; this can cause a person to find several records on the site when the system finds new data. As these listings can only be removed independently, individuals will have to perform the opt-out process many times.

Also, regardless of the prior opt-out process completed, an individual may still find the same information on Fullnamedirectory if it is still available in public databases.
