In other words, your personal data won\u2019t be findable through SpyFly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, your profile may reappear on SpyFly after a while. The reason why is that people search sites like SpyFly collect your data from publicly available sources. If Spyfly comes across your personal details after you opt out, they might relist your record.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SpyFly says: <em>\u201cAlthough we and our data partners do our best to suppress the records that you request to be removed from appearing in our search results, <\/em><strong><em>there may be times when our data partners provide us with new data about you that is different enough from the data you previously had removed \u2013 such as different spellings, initials, and\/or addresses \u2013 that it is not possible to conclusively remove that new data.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, you need to recheck people search sites like SpyFly periodically. If you see that your profile was relisted, you\u2019ll need to repeat the SpyFly opt-out process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an alternative to manual opt outs, you can subscribe to a <a href=\"https:\/\/joindeleteme.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data broker removal service such as DeleteMe<\/a>, which will opt you out of people search sites like SpyFly on your behalf &#8211; and make sure you remain opted out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"spy-fly-opt-out-fa-qs\">SpyFly Opt Out FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some common questions people have about opting out of SpyFly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is SpyFly free?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, SpyFly is not free. You need to pay a fee to see people\u2019s reports on SpyFly. SpyFly also has a low-cost 7-day trial.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is SpyFly legit?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SpyFly is legit in that it really is a people search site that provides information about people. To access this information, you need to pay a fee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does SpyFly work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, SpyFly works. If you pay for its service, you can access reports with people\u2019s personal information. However, as is the case with all people search sites, the data within these reports may or may not be accurate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is SpyFly a scam?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, SpyFly is not a scam. It is a people search site that collects people\u2019s personal information from various sources and then sells it to anyone who wants to access it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is SpyFly accurate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As is the case with any other people search site, the accuracy of SpyFly data varies. Some data points in a SpyFly report may be 100% accurate, whereas others may be outdated or completely wrong.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is SpyFly anonymous?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, SpyFly is anonymous. In other words, if you look up someone on SpyFly, there is no way for them to know that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, that also means that if someone searches for your details via SpyFly, you won\u2019t know either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, it\u2019s a good idea to remove your profile from SpyFly. See our SpyFly opt-out guide for step-by-step instructions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is SpyFly safe?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SpyFly is safe in the sense that visiting the official SpyFly website is unlikely to infect your device with malware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, having your personal information displayed on people search sites in general is not safe because it means that anyone can find out where you live, your phone number, family, and so on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s recommended that you remove your profile from people search sites like SpyFly to reduce the likelihood of threats like identity theft, harassment, and stalking. See our SpyFly opt-out guide for step-by-step instructions on how to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is SpyFly used for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SpyFly can be used for various purposes, including reconnecting with old friends and family members, checking who is behind an unknown number, learning more about a potential date, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, people search sites like SpyFly can also be used for more nefarious purposes, like stalking, doxxing, harassment, identity theft, and social engineering attacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want your personal information to be easily findable online, you should remove your profile from SpyFly and other people search sites. See our SpyFly opt-out guide for step-by-step instructions on how to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to opt out of SpyFly?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To opt out of SpyFly, you need to fill out an online form, find your SpyFly profile, and click an email confirmation link. For step-by-step instructions, see our SpyFly opt-out guide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is SpyFly legal?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, SpyFly and other people search sites are legal. That\u2019s because they collect information about people that is already publicly available elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this makes you uncomfortable, you can remove your information from people search sites like SpyFly. See our SpyFly opt-out guide for step-by-step instructions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do people know if you search them on SpyFly?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, people don\u2019t know if you search them on SpyFly. All SpyFly searches are anonymous. That said, there\u2019s also no way to know if someone searches for <em>you <\/em>on SpyFly, either.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want your information to be available through SpyFly, follow our SpyFly opt-out guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our step-by-step guide to opt out of SpyFly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":16418,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opt-out-guides","category-public-records"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/joindeleteme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/joindeleteme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/joindeleteme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joindeleteme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joindeleteme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/joindeleteme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joindeleteme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/joindeleteme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joindeleteme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joindeleteme.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
