FastBackgroundCheck Opt Out Guide

FastBackgroundCheck is a people search that can show your name, address history, phone numbers, and other personal information in one profile. If that personal information is widely visible, it can affect online privacy and security and create a risk for identity theft, phishing, or a scam. FastBackgroundCheck gets details from various sources, including public records and other publicly available sources.

How to opt out of FastBackgroundCheck

Go to the FastBackgroundCheck 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. Updates often appear after several days. This opt-out process is meant to remove your information from the site display. 

Checklist:

• Open the privacy page
• Submit your identifiers
• Verify your email
• Complete CAPTCHA verification
• Save the confirmation email
• Set a reminder to re-opt-out

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 also notes that it regularly receives new public records and recommends that you remove and refresh requests over time.

Common data you may find:

• Names and known aliases
• Phones
• Emails
• Current and past addresses
• Relatives or household links
• Property or real-estate records (where available)
• Court records (where available)
• Links that route to a site that provides detailed reports

Step-by-Step Guide

Open the privacy page

Go to the FastBackgroundCheck “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” notice. Tip: if a page fails, try a different browser and temporarily disable script-blocking extensions.

Submit your identifiers

On the opt-out form, enter the identifiers shown on the listing (full name and email you can access. Provide only the personal info already displayed, and avoid adding extra personal data. Complete any CAPTCHA, then submit a removal request to remove your personal information from the listing. Save the on-page confirmation and the email confirmation message.

Verify your email

Open the confirmation message. If the email does not arrive, check Spam/Promotions. When sharing proof, redact private details in screenshots.

Confirm deletion

Click the verification link so the opt-out request is finalized and you complete the procedure. If your data is still shown after several days, resubmit once and record the date. Confirm the page no longer displays your listing on the site.

Track confirmation & timeline

Keep the confirmation email and note the date you submitted. This helps if you need to follow up. New public records can be received over time. Refresh your request periodically. Set a 3–6 month reminder to recheck your online presence, then re-submit quickly if the listing returns. 

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 about 10 days, use the Contact page listed on the Notice, then resubmit once. 

Edge Cases & Troubleshooting

• No access to the original email/phone: use an email you control, then contact support to explain the mismatch and request removal.
• “Record not found”: try name variants and nearby cities; entries can be split across listings.
• CAPTCHA or submission errors: refresh, try another browser, and pause VPN/ad blockers.
• Verification code not arriving: check Spam/Promotions, wait 10 minutes, then request a new email.
• Form rejects the request by region (EU/UK/CA): use the Contact page to ask about available options under local rules.
• Account deletion vs. public listing removal confusion: listing suppression is separate from an account; to cancel, use the billing area of the service you paid.
• Re-submitting after a failed attempt: resubmit once, keep the confirmation, and document the date.

Will my data reappear?

Even after removal, listings can reappear. Sites and data brokers refresh from partner feeds, resellers, and newly published public records. 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 3–6 month 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.
