Ownerly Opt-Out

What Does Ownerly Do?

Ownerly operates as a property records data broker. It allows users to search by address and, for a small fee, access detailed reports on residential and commercial properties. These reports are essentially aggregated property records. They pull together publicly available information and, in some cases, supplemental data sourced from government agencies or county offices. The result is a composite snapshot of a property rather than a single official record.

Ownerly tends to attract homeowners, real estate investors, property flippers, sellers, and prospective buyers. Typical reports may include estimated property values, appreciation trends, ownership history, past sales activity, demographic insights, and natural hazard or risk rankings tied to the location. While much of this information is public in origin, Ownerly centralizes it into searchable profiles, which is why many consumers choose to opt out.

Information Needed to Opt Out of Ownerly

In the world of data privacy brokers, an opt-out is simply a request to remove information from public search results. With Ownerly, things work a little differently. Their data is tied to properties, not people. So opting out means removing information connected to an address rather than to a named individual. Because of that, homeowners must show a legitimate connection to the property before a record can be removed. Usually, this is straightforward. Still, there are a few details worth understanding before starting the process.

There are no personal prerequisites required to opt out a property from Ownerly. You do not need an account, and you do not need to purchase a membership to request removal. That said, viewing the full scope of what Ownerly displays typically requires running a search and paying for access. Ownerly maintains extensive coverage of U.S. addresses. Due to its relationships with other data brokers, most notably BeenVerified, it is reasonable to assume that Ownerly holds information on virtually every residential and commercial property in the country. Even if a homeowner has never searched their address, the data is likely already there.

Ownerly's connection to BeenVerified is worth clarifying. It is not a traditional parent company or affiliate relationship. Ownerly is not owned by BeenVerified, and it does not rely on BeenVerified exclusively for its property reports. Instead, the relationship is service-based. BeenVerified handles Ownerly's privacy and opt-out infrastructure. This means that, depending on how you submit your request, you may be redirected through BeenVerified's systems to complete the removal.

Ownerly Opt-Out Preliminaries

There are four primary ways to remove property information from Ownerly search results.

Consumers who need to remove multiple property records can contact Ownerly's customer support by phone, although navigating the call menu can be time-consuming. Those who prefer less direct interaction may submit opt-out requests by email to either Ownerly or BeenVerified.

For most users, the simplest option is to use the online opt-out forms. There are two forms available, both hosted through BeenVerified. One form removes property information from Ownerly and related sites. The second form removes both property records and associated consumer data at the same time. Choosing the right method depends on how much information you want removed and how hands-on you want the process to be.

How to Remove Information from Ownerly

Navigate the Support Line to Reach a Live Representative

One way to remove information from Ownerly is by speaking directly with a live support agent. Ownerly offers phone support seven days a week, from 6:00 am to 11:30 pm Eastern Time. To get started, call 1 (888) 212 8460. The call begins with an automated menu, and you will need to move through a few prompts before reaching a representative. When asked what your call is about, press 6 for privacy requests. Next, press 1 to confirm the phone number you are calling from. Ownerly may use this number to follow up if they need clarification about your request.

You will then be prompted to select your time zone. Press the number that applies to continue. If asked whether you have an Ownerly account, press 2 if you do not have one. From there, choose the option to continue to live support rather than switching to online chat. Press 2 to enter the queue for a live representative. Once connected, clearly state that you want to remove your information from Ownerly. This signals an opt-out request to stop the sharing and sale of property-related information tied to your address. The agent may ask a few questions to verify your connection to the property, but the process is generally straightforward once you reach the right department.

Send Your Request to the Privacy Teams Directly

Some consumers prefer not to interact with a data broker's website at all. That approach makes sense. Data brokers often log and analyze user interactions, including those made from personal devices. From a basic cybersecurity standpoint, using a separate email address when contacting these companies is a smart precaution. Creating an alternative email takes only a few minutes and adds an extra layer of privacy.

Ownerly and BeenVerified both maintain dedicated privacy teams that accept opt-out requests by email. In total, there are six relevant email addresses, each tied to a specific privacy function. Which one you should use depends on your circumstances. For instance, CCPA-specific addresses are intended for California residents, while other contacts handle general privacy and data removal requests. Before sending your message, copy the appropriate template, paste it into your email client, and replace the highlighted sections with your actual information. Submitting a clear and complete request from the start can help reduce follow-ups and speed up the removal process.

Opt-Out Online Using BeenVerified's Property and Omni Forms

When users follow Ownerly's opt-out links, they are redirected to BeenVerified. This is where things get a little unintuitive. Ownerly's links typically send users to BeenVerified's people search opt-out, not the property search opt-out. That distinction matters.

Opting out of the people search alone does not always remove property records. Property data can still appear unless the property search is addressed directly. To fully remove Ownerly-related records, consumers must either opt out of BeenVerified's property search or use the omni form, which removes both people and property records at once.

Those wanting to opt out of BeenVerified's property search only start by opening the Property Search Opt-Out form. Start by opening the Property Search Opt-Out form.

Step One

Enter the property's physical details, including city and state. Click the green "Search" button to continue.

Step Two

The next page may show one or several matching results. Locate the correct property record and click the green "Continue" button on the right side of the listing.

Step Three

You will be given the option to customize what data is removed. Select all names associated with the property, then click the green "Optout Owner(s)" button.

Step Four

Enter an email address, preferably an alternative one. Complete the CAPTCHA and click "Send Verification Email". Check your inbox for a message from BeenVerified and click the confirmation link inside. Once the request shows as confirmed, the opt-out process is complete.

Option Two: Use the Omni Form to Remove Both People and Property Records

Consumers who want broader removal can use BeenVerified's omni form, which covers both property and personal records tied to Ownerly. Start by opening the Opt Out form in a new tab.

Step One

Set the request type to "Do Not Sell My Information". Enter your first and last name, an accessible email address, and your age verification. Then provide the property street address, city, state, and ZIP code. Click the green "Continue" button.

Step Two

If BeenVerified finds a matching record, it will appear on the next page. Locate the correct report and click "Proceed to Opt Out".

Step Three

You may add additional information to the opt-out request by expanding the dropdown sections. When ready, check the box confirming "This is Me", complete the CAPTCHA, and click "Remove My Info".

Step Four

Even if the on-screen message suggests the process is complete, check your email. Open the message from BeenVerified and click the confirmation link inside to finalize the request. Once confirmed, the opt-out is submitted, and the removal process begins. It is not instant, but this step is essential. Without the email confirmation, nothing actually happens.

Confirm the Opt-Out of Ownerly (Through BeenVerified)

After you receive an opt-out confirmation, it helps to pause for a moment. Give the request up to a week before checking its status. These removals are not instant, and early checks can be misleading. Because Ownerly only displays full records behind a paid membership, verifying removal directly on their site is not very practical. Instead, search for the same property or record on BeenVerified. If the opt-out worked, the associated information should no longer appear in search results there.

For broader visibility, wait a bit longer before checking public search engines. It can take up to two weeks for removed records to fully disappear from platforms like Google or Bing, even after the opt-out is processed internally.

This confirmation process reflects the opt-out procedures outlined in Ownerly's and BeenVerified's privacy policies as of 2025. Patience matters here. If you check too soon, it can look like nothing changed when, in reality, the update is still working its way through the system.
