The link you shared says only in specific circumstances can someone opt out of LexusNexus:

Opting out of LexisNexis can be more complex than removing your data from other people-search sites. To have your information taken down, you must meet specific criteria, and LexisNexis may request additional documentation:

  • Victim of identity theft: you need to provide a police report documenting the identity theft or similar documentation.
  • Law enforcement officers or public officials facing threats of severe bodily harm or death:** **you must submit a letter from their supervisor confirming the nature of their position and the threats.
  • At risk of physical harm but not in law enforcement: you'll need to submit a protective order from the court, a police report, or similar documentation.

I believe that the wording is awkward in that you will need additional information if you’re one of the three listed criteria. If you’re just removing it from public view, you only need to provide your name, address, phone and social security number.

Oh ok nice, thanks for the info!
