How to opt out of Cubib
Cubib is a site that is worthwhile looking yourself up on because of the vast amount of detailed free personal information it provides. Here is what you can expect to see on this site:
-
These are only a few of the categories of information you can expect to find.
People search data – it’s not unusual to find yourself listed multiple times.
- Marketing data – this will include invasive personal information such as address, birthday, gender, email addresses, estimated household income, ethnicity and more.
- Public property records.
- Vehicle sales records.
- Business registration records.
- Whois records.
- US voter registration records.
- Court records.
- Public campaign donations.
- US White House visitor list.
- US patent application search.
Although opting out is quite easy, it’s time consuming because you must do a separate opt out for each record that you want to remove and you will likely have many separate records on this site.
- Find yourself by going to Cubib and entering your info into the search fields.
- Click on your name in the first record you see that belongs to you.
- Click on “Opt Out” in the information that pops up.
- Fill out the form completely followed by clicking on “Proceed.” HINT: Use the information already listed in the result to complete the form, even if the information is not accurate. As a general rule, avoid giving out any new information as you do your opt out.
- You will receive a message in a green box saying, “Your message has been successfully sent!”
- Repeat (patiently) for every single result you want to remove.
Give Cubib time to process your removal and verify it’s gone before you assume it will be automatically taken care of. Cubib sources their info from many different locations and not all of your information will be removed at once. This means that time, tenacity and patience are key… something that is true for many of these types of sites.
Here are links to some removal tutorials for other sites. These sites can come and go and they also occasionally make changes to their removal processes.If you run into issues on any of these, be sure to leave a comment following the article and I’ll respond as soon as possible.
