How to Remove Your Personal Information from CheckPeople.com: CheckPeople Opt Out Guide

Is your personal information exposed on CheckPeople for anyone to find? CheckPeople is a data broker that collects and compiles detailed profiles of individuals by accessing public records and online sources. This information can include your full name, current and past addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, date of birth, relatives, criminal records, and more. Having your personal data readily available on CheckPeople can put your privacy and security at risk, making it easier for others to access your sensitive details. This exposure can lead to identity theft, stalking, harassment, and reputational damage.

But you have the power to take control of your online privacy. By opting out of CheckPeople, you can remove your personal information from their database and reduce the risks associated with data exposure. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of locating your CheckPeople profile, submitting a removal request, and reclaiming your digital privacy.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Opt Out of CheckPeople

  1. Go to the CheckPeople opt-out page Navigate directly to CheckPeople’s opt-out page at: https://www.checkpeople.com/opt-out
  2. Fill out the opt-out form Enter your information exactly as it appears in your CheckPeople listing, including your full name, city, and state. Complete the security CAPTCHA and click “Search”.
  3. Locate your listing From the search results, find your specific listing by reviewing the details associated with each profile. Once you’ve identified your profile, click the “Opt-Out” button next to it.
  4. Enter your email for verification Provide your email address in the designated field for verification purposes. We strongly recommend using a disposable or masked email address to avoid your primary email being added to marketing lists. Complete the CAPTCHA and click “Send Confirmation Email”.
  5. Confirm your opt-out request Check your email inbox (and spam folder) for the confirmation message from CheckPeople. Open the email and click on the verification link to proceed with your opt-out.
  6. Complete the opt-out process After clicking the link, you’ll be directed back to CheckPeople’s site. Fill in your name, specify for whom you are submitting the request, complete the CAPTCHA, and click “Complete Request” to finalize your opt-out.
  7. Allow time for removal Your information should be removed from the CheckPeople website within 5-7 days. To verify the removal, search for your name on CheckPeople after this time period has passed.
