Unlike most data brokers, most Classmates profiles were created by the person themselves. If you have an account, delete it through settings. If you appear without ever having signed up — typically from yearbook data — email [email protected] to request removal.

TIPS
Classmates is part of the PeopleConnect family of sites, which also includes Intelius and other people-search properties. Opting out of Classmates does not remove you from those sites.
Your name and school affiliation may appear in search engine results for some time after account deletion, depending on the search engine's indexing cycle.
California, Texas, and other state residents have additional rights including Right to Know, Correction, and Opt-Out of Sale. Use the Request Form at classmates.com or email [email protected].
The correct contact email for all privacy matters is [email protected] — not the general support address.
