Man has a website with my personal info. No opt out.

He has my full name, DOB, mother's maiden name and birth location on his website. I've contacted him and he ignores my request.

His website has everyone's birth info that was born in California from 1905 - 1995. Other websites with such listings provide an option to delist yourself. But not his.

I don't want to be on his website. Is there anything I can do? I have his full name, phone number and address.

What sort of website is this, why are you listed, and where are you located?

What is your reason for not wanting to be listed on the California's birth index site? Privacy reasons, I assume?

The records are public records but, like many public records, many object to the ease with which people can access the information online. Many fear identity theft.

I am not aware of any legal actions taken against the site but perhaps someone in California knows of something that might assist you. Generally you must appeal to the better nature of the person operating the website to remove what you find objectionable.

Yes, for privacy reasons. I have reached out to the owner and unfortunately he refuses to respond.

The only privacy protection I am aware CA offers is that of marriage records.

Every, and I mean every other website with this sort of personal info has an de-list yourself option. Do you think there may be a reason for that?
