VERBATIM POST
Thanks to LawyerCT for bringing this topic up on /r/technology. She also provided a list of the top sites online that hold data on you.
I decided to go ahead and use this list to collect removal procedures from ALL of these websites and provide direct links or instructions to do so.
The following list was provided as being the "big boys", so if you remove your name from these ones then all the smaller "sites" should fall afterwards.
- Intelius.com
- Acxiom.com
- MyLife.com
- ZabaSearch.com
- Spoke.com
- BeenVerified.com
- PeekYou.com
- USSearch.com
- PeopleFinders.com
- PeopleLookup.com
- PeopleSmart.com
- PrivateEye.com
- WhitePages.com
- USA-People-Search.com
- Spokeo.com
- PublicRecordsNow.com
- DOBSearch.com
- Radaris.com
How to remove yourself from each of these have been listed below. I would recommend that you scan some form of ID such as a state issued ID like a drivers license. Black out your picture and drivers number. Leaving your name, address and DOB visible. Any sites that requires such a thing will have an * after the address.
Intelius.com* - Opt-out
Acxiom.com - Opt-out
MyLife.com - To request that a Member Profile or Public Profile be deleted, please contact Customer Care at 1-888-704-1900 or contact us by email at privacy@mylife.com. Upon receipt of these requests, and confirmation that you are requesting that your own profile be removed, please allow MyLife 10 business days to complete this removal. It may be necessary to contact you to validate that you are the profile owner requesting the removal. This is to ensure the correct identity and profile ownership before completing these requests, and is for the protection of our users and their privacy.

Those are all the major sites. Of course, you could go to the topic mentioned in the beginning of this post and find LawyerCT's business to have a team of professionals remove these for you at a fee.
It's amazing in support of me to have a website, which is helpful designed for my knowledge. thanks admin

Thank you so much for this information. It is scary living in a world where our information is this public. I really think laws should be passed to protect us all. Thank you for this!! :)
