I would like to remove my Birth Date Year from IMDB non Pro version.

I would like to remove my Birth Date Year from IMDB non Pro version.  Any way to do this? I do not care about the place and month and day, just the year removal.  This may have been answered, but just asking.  G

Hi gives19 -

We are committed to providing complete factual information related to films, television, and people involved in the entertainment industry, including birth dates and other biographical data.

While we're more than happy to update our info or rectify, upon verification, any inaccuracies in our data, it has always been our policy not to alter or delete any kind of factual information or credit that we believe to be correct from our records, as doing so would greatly undermine the accuracy and reliability of our database.

@Michelle​ hi Michelle, well not sure my age has a lot to do with anything other than my age. I would think that the credits are the key thing. But whatever. I just look at that as my personal information I would like to keep to myself I mean the birthday day is fine but the year is some thing as you probably know as a way for people to judge your work. Most people think I’m in my 40s and  Iron Man  Triathlete  my dad was a navy seal captain. I’m definitely an exception to the norm so my picture on my IMDb page is private and that’s basically how I look these days. I just thought since IMDbPro doesn’t list it and it seems funny that the regular IMDb does. I also see a lot of people that don’t have it listed and I’m always curious how that works?  Maybe you have some insights to that? Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I truly appreciate it. I just joined the form about a week ago

As a composer it doesn’t seem like it’s really a big thing anyway since I’m not looking to cast myself in a movie. And I was my colleague Mark Isham who I worked with years ago has his age up and date so I guess it hasn’t hurt his career but just curious.

@Michelle​ HI Michelle, Is there a way to remove my age on imdb? Thanks!  I have been a member for years and do have recent credits.  This seems to be way to complicated for someone who is actually good at adding credits etc.  Feel free to reply to me directly.

Hi gives19 -

If you see IMDb pages with no birthdate listed, it likely means that we don't yet have the birthdate information for that individual.

While you can hide your birthdate on the IMDbPro.com site with an active IMDbPro membership, there is no option to remove or hide birthdates or ages on the regular IMDb.com site.  As mentioned above, it has always been our policy not to alter or delete any kind of factual information.

You guys should really change this policy. This is a HIGHLY ageist industry - especially for actors but even for writers, etc. A birth year gives no helpful insight into anything that anyone needs to know and the fact that someone can't prevent this from being blasted all over the internet via imdb when they didn't even submit it is ridiculous. Do you not realize that this actually hurts the careers of creatives? Why is imdb so committed to this birth year thing? It should be the one fact that people have the option to hide.
