In this post, we’ll cover what RevealName is and Step-by-Step instructions on How to Opt Out of RevealName.
What is RevealName?
RevealName is a people search data broker with a reverse phone lookup service. After entering a phone number the owner of that phone number and other personal information is revealed.
Reverse phone lookup is typically used by private investigators, debt collectors, and others who need to confirm an individual’s identity. Phone number lookups are not always accurate and may contain outdated or incorrect information resulting in unwanted calls from unknown callers.

You can sign up for a free Exposure Scan and receive tools you can use to remove your information, or you can upgrade to one of our paid subscription plans and let our Opt Out Agents help you with the removals.
