How to opt out of FastBackgroundCheck

Here is how to remove yourself from FastBackgroundCheck: go to the opt-out page (the “Do Not Sell or Share” notice). Enter your email addresses and identifiers, then confirm via the verification email to complete the removal process.

FastBackgroundCheck is a people search site that displays consumer data in a searchable database for name, address, or reverse phone lookup. Its Privacy Notice explains it may collect personal information you provide, plus data gathered automatically, and information from data brokers and people search sources, including public records and other third-party data. The site says it gets information from public records, publicly available sources, data suppliers, and third-party providers, including sources such as phone directories, real estate records, birth and death records, magazine subscriptions, and voter registration cards.

Step-by-Step Guide

Timelines, Verification & What to Expect

Expect an on-page message and/or email confirming the request. The Privacy Notice explains how it verifies some privacy requests by matching data points, and it also states that opt-out requests do not require verification. In practice, you may still need an email confirmation step to finish. If nothing changes after the site’s stated removal window, use the Contact page listed on the Notice, then resubmit once.

Edge Cases & Troubleshooting

Will my data reappear?

Even after removal, listings can reappear. Sites and data brokers refresh from partner feeds, resellers, and newly published public records. If a profile remains visible, it can make unwanted contact, stalking concerns, phishing, or scam attempts easier because a single listing can connect address history, relatives, phone numbers, and emails. User complaints on BBB, Reddit, and Trustpilot specifically mention broken opt-out flows, state-based request denials, and records returning after removal.

FastBackgroundCheck may re-add public information as new data arrives, and its Notice says it recommends a periodic refresh of your request. To keep your data private, save confirmations, set a reminder, and repeat the opt-out process quickly when needed. Next, check people search sites like FastBackgroundCheck to reduce repeat exposure, especially on data broker sites.

Manual removal works. But only for today

Manual opt-out is possible, but it is rarely permanent. Data brokers can refresh and republish your details over time, so a removal request today may need to be repeated later.
