Block "Spokeo"

I recently searched my name, Valerie Wainwright, in Yahoo. I found all my information, such as address, phone numbers, relatives (my sons and daughter-in-law, etc. listed there. How can I block the website called "Spokeo" from accessing my personal information.

This quite upsetting!

Sites that compile personal information are very annoying, but once they have your information, it's difficult to clean up the mess. Sometimes if you submit a request to them they will remove it, or perhaps make it not appear in searches.
