Why you come back
Most people-search sites keep buying fresh public records, and ContactOut is one of them — re-scraped from public professional profiles. A removed listing can reappear months later under a new URL. The reliable fix is cutting off the source where you can — in the UK that is the open electoral register — and re-checking on a schedule.
Opt-out processes change. If a step no longer matches what you see, tell us and we’ll update it.
