Now that you’ve completed the BeenVerified opt out process, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• It’s possible there are multiple listings for your name on BeenVerified. You may notice that there are two or more listings with your info. You will need to go through the removal process for each unique listing.
• It’s common for information to repopulate on data brokers sites. Since data brokers compile their databases by continuously scraping public records and other public sources, it’s possible that BeenVerified unknowingly recollects your information. This can result in another listing showing up down the line. For this reason, it’s critical that you continuously monitor any data brokers for your info.
• The above process only removes your info from BeenVerified.com. If your info is on BeenVerified, then it is on other data brokers as well. Each site has its own unique opt out process. Unless you use an automated tool like BrandYourself, this will require you to scour the web for your info and go through the opt out process for each.
