How to Remove Your Information from AdvancedBackgroundChecks

AdvancedBackgroundChecks.com is one of roughly ten people-search sites run by the same operator. Canceling a paid membership won't take your listing down; the opt-out form does.

Last checked: October 2026 · Opt-out steps checked against AdvancedBackgroundChecks' own opt-out page

Quick overview

  • AdvancedBackgroundChecks is run by the same operator behind CyberBackgroundChecks, FastPeopleSearch, USPhoneBook, and about six other sites, so listings are often mirrored.
  • Removal is free and asks only for your name and email: you get a link by email, fill in a short form, and receive a confirmation.
  • The site says a request is fully processed within 45 days, and canceling a paid membership does not take your listing down.
  • A phone line, (855) 240-6392, and Global Privacy Control are alternatives to the form, and the site warns your information "may appear in our data products again in the future."

What is AdvancedBackgroundChecks

AdvancedBackgroundChecks.com is a free-to-search people-search and background-check site that aggregates public records — court filings, property records, phone and address databases — into profiles searchable by name, phone number, address, or email.

That same operator, per data broker registry filings, runs a family of roughly ten similar people-search sites, including CyberBackgroundChecks, FastPeopleSearch, SmartBackgroundChecks, USPhoneBook, and SearchPeopleFree — so a listing you find on one is frequently mirrored on several others.

The homepage advertises full search as "100% free," but a separate paid membership tier (billed through pro.advancedbackgroundchecks.com) unlocks additional report details behind a monthly, auto-renewing subscription. The site also states it is not a consumer reporting agency and that its data isn't meant for employment, credit, insurance, or tenant-screening decisions .

How to remove yourself

These steps follow AdvancedBackgroundChecks' own opt-out page, checked in October 2026.

  1. 1

    Request the opt-out link

    Open the Right to Opt-out of Sale and Sharing page (advancedbackgroundchecks.com/opt-out). Choose "The subject of the request," enter your first and last name (middle name is optional) and your email, and press Submit.

  2. 2

    Click the link in your email

    AdvancedBackgroundChecks emails you a link to the opt-out form. It may take some time to arrive, and if you wait more than 24 hours to click it, you need to request a new one.

  3. 3

    Fill in the opt-out form

    Enter your information on the form and submit it.

  4. 4

    Check for the confirmation

    You get a confirmation page and an email confirming your request has been received.

  5. 5

    Wait for the results email

    AdvancedBackgroundChecks says it emails you when your request is fully processed, within 45 days of submission, detailing the results.

According to the site, leaving out details or entering inaccurate ones only hinders the opt-out.

If you'd rather not use the web form, AdvancedBackgroundChecks' own privacy notice lists a phone alternative, (855) 240-6392. It also says that to stop selling or sharing through its cookies and tracking tools, you need to adjust your cookie settings or send an opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control.

The operator runs about ten sister people-search sites built from overlapping data, CyberBackgroundChecks among them. Data broker registry filings state that an opt-out on any one of its sites applies across all of them.

AdvancedBackgroundChecks' own notice doesn't mention this, so each sister site's listing is worth checking separately.

Notice: AdvancedBackgroundChecks usually isn't the only place this kind of information about you shows up — the same details often turn up on other data-broker and people-search sites too. A free, confidential check can show you where else your name is listed.

Why canceling a membership isn't enough

Canceling a paid AdvancedBackgroundChecks membership does not remove your listing. The Terms of Service describe cancellation purely as a billing action in Account Settings, with no mention of your public profile coming down.

The listing and the paid membership are two separate systems, so removing the listing takes its own opt-out request.

What to expect after you opt out

AdvancedBackgroundChecks' opt-out page says a request is fully processed within 45 days of submission. The company's own notice warns that a suppressed listing "may appear in our data products again in the future."

If the listing comes back, or you're on several of these sites, our Data Broker Removal service handles the opt-outs for you, and Privacy Monitoring re-checks the sites so a returning listing is caught early.

Common questions

Who owns AdvancedBackgroundChecks?

Data broker registry filings tie AdvancedBackgroundChecks.com to an operator that runs a family of roughly ten people-search sites, including CyberBackgroundChecks, FastPeopleSearch, USPhoneBook, and SmartBackgroundChecks.

If I cancel my paid AdvancedBackgroundChecks membership, does that remove my listing?

No. AdvancedBackgroundChecks' own Terms of Service describe canceling your subscription as something you do in Account Settings to stop future billing — they don't say anything about your public profile coming down. Removing the listing itself requires a separate opt-out request.

Does opting out of AdvancedBackgroundChecks also cover CyberBackgroundChecks and its other sister sites?

Data broker registry filings for the shared operator state that an opt-out submitted on any one of its sites applies across the family. AdvancedBackgroundChecks' own opt-out notice doesn't mention this, so a listing on CyberBackgroundChecks or another sister site is worth checking separately.

How long does the AdvancedBackgroundChecks opt-out take?

The opt-out page says you'll get a confirmation email when your request is received, and another email when it is fully processed, within 45 days of submission, detailing the results.

How do I contact AdvancedBackgroundChecks directly?

AdvancedBackgroundChecks' Notice of Right to Opt-Out lists a phone line, (855) 240-6392, as an alternative to its online removal form for CCPA-style requests. The same notice also confirms the site honors browser-level Global Privacy Control signals, so a compatible browser extension can trigger an opt-out without you filling out the form directly.

Will my information come back after I opt out?

AdvancedBackgroundChecks' own notice warns that "your publicly available information may appear in our data products again in the future" even after a successful opt-out. The same operator also runs roughly ten sister sites built from overlapping data, worth rechecking too.

Do I pay if my listing isn't removed?

Opting out yourself is free. Our removal services are no-removal, no-fee: you're invoiced only once we achieve the removal defined in your Service Agreement. Search suppression is billed for the work performed.
