CheckSecrets Opt Out Guide

CheckSecrets in 2025 can show a profile that links your full name with an address and phone, which can increase exposure risk if shared beyond your control. Such services typically compile publicly available records and other sources into searchable pages. This opt-out guide explains how to find the correct entry, submit one request with minimal personal information, and what to expect after you opt out and remove a public listing. You’ll also get quick steps, screenshot notes, official navigation tips, and realistic timelines so you can take control and protect sensitive personal information.

How to opt out of CheckSecrets

Open the official, locate the matching record, submit the form with your email, then click on the link sent; it often updates in 7–14 days.

Checklist:

• Open the official form
• Enter your identifiers (name, email, phone)
• Complete CAPTCHA and submit the form
• Save the message sent
• Set the reminder to re-check

CheckSecrets is a people search site and data broker that displays background check-style results by aggregating public records and commercial sources into searchable pages and detailed reports. It provides a portal to remove your personal information from checksecrets.com, including some personal data fields.

Common data you may find:

• Names and known aliases
• Emails
• Phone numbers
• Current and past addresses
• Relatives or household links
• Property and court records (if available)
• Criminal records (if available)
• Social media links (if shown)

Step-by-Step Guide

Open the official opt-out form

Open checksecrets.com and scroll to the footer for the control labeled “sell or share my personal” options. Click it and choose “Remove My Information” to remove your information. Use the Start Here button and read any “Info” notes on the page before continuing. If you capture screenshots, blur personal details first.

Submit your identifiers (email/phone + CAPTCHA)

On the search screen, enter your first and last name. Then, select your state. Review search results and select the entry, then click Continue. Fill the required fields and click Submit. 

Verify via code or link (email/SMS)

After submission, watch for a message that asks you to complete the final step. Follow the link in that message. If nothing arrives, check Spam and Promotions. Save the message as proof, but redact sensitive data in any screenshot you keep.

Confirm deletion / Do-Not-Sell request

After the final step, look for an on-page success message. If the portal offers “Request to Delete,” choose it when it matches your goal. California residents may see CCPA wording tied to the California Consumer Privacy Act. Save a redacted screenshot for your data and avoid posting it anywhere public. Tip: Keep your browser tab open until you see the success state so you don’t miss the completion screen.

Track confirmation & timeline

Save the success screen and the date you submitted. If the entry is still visible after 14 days, contact CheckSecrets through the site help page and include your contact data and any proof you saved. Tip: Set a calendar reminder to check again later.

Timelines, Verification & What to Expect

Most updates are not instant. After you submit and complete the procedure, it commonly takes 7–14 days for the entry to change, depending on review and indexing. If you get no response after 14 days, use the contact form. Include the date, the info you selected, and your proof. Then, try one more submission.

Edge Cases & Troubleshooting

• No access to the original email/phone: submit with a current email and explain the mismatch in your request.
• “Record not found”: try another state or spelling; you may be viewing a different record.
• CAPTCHA or submission errors: clear cache, disable blockers, and retry once.
• Verification message not arriving: wait 30–60 minutes, check Spam, then resend once.
• Form rejects the request by region (EU/UK/CA): use the privacy page for regional instructions when available.
• Account deletion vs. public listing removal confusion: closing an account won’t remove a public record entry.
• Re-submitting after a failed attempt: change one field at a time and submit once more.
• Opt out of the data again: if it reappears, repeat the steps and keep proof.

Will my data reappear?

An entry can reappear when aggregators refresh from public records updates, partner feeds, or resellers that republish similar info. Cached pages can also linger after a request is processed. Set a reminder every 3–6 months and re-submit quickly if needed. Also, consider checking other people-search sites. Privacy matters, so protect your privacy by limiting how often your address and phone appear in search, and keep your proof for easy follow-up.
