The Opt-Out Directory
Every U.S. opt-out that matters — 27 of them — on one page. This is the DIY version of everything OptOutHQ automates. Bookmark it, share it, send it to your dad. We mean it: you can do all of this yourself, free.

Junk mail & catalogs
Most promotional mail traces to a few industry suppression lists. Start with DMAchoice; it covers the majority in one shot.
The marketing industry's master suppression list — covers most promotional mail
Per-catalog opt-outs, useful for the mailers DMAchoice misses
The coupon bundle formerly known as RedPlum
Stops marketing mail addressed to someone who has died
Prescreened credit offers
Those “pre-approved” card offers come from the credit bureaus selling your file. One official site turns them off. It looks sketchy. It isn't.

Robocalls & spam texts
The registry handles legal telemarketers; your carrier's free tools catch a lot of the rest. Layer them.

People-search & data brokers
The dozen sites below account for most “I googled myself” horror. Each link goes to the broker's own removal flow. Fair warning: many demand email confirmation, some re-list you within months, and there are hundreds more behind these. This list is what we automate.
Suppression request for the largest people-search site
Search-and-remove flow; part of the PeopleConnect family
One of the most-trafficked free lookup sites
Sister site to TruePeopleSearch — remove separately

Email & breach hygiene
Two free habits that compound: check what's leaked, and stop feeding new lists.

Since 2024, bulk senders must honor one-click unsubscribes — the FTC explains
The honest math
Doing this list once is an afternoon. Doing it properly — with confirmation emails, the hundreds of smaller brokers, re-checks when they re-list you, and renewals years from now — is a part-time job. That part-time job is our whole job.
Or flip one switch instead
OptOutHQ files all of it for you, attaches evidence, and re-checks forever. The directory stays free either way.
