How to Remove Your Information from AdvancedBackgroundChecks
AdvancedBackgroundChecks.com is one of roughly ten people-search sites run by the same Sacramento operator. Canceling a paid membership won't take your listing down — here's the actual opt-out process, and the sister sites it's likely to reappear on.
Quick overview
- AdvancedBackgroundChecks is operated by the same company behind CyberBackgroundChecks and about eight other people-search sites — see the full picture.
- The opt-out is a self-serve form, no account required — here's the process.
- Canceling a paid membership does not remove your listing — here's why.
- AdvancedBackgroundChecks also honors browser-level Global Privacy Control signals, and its CCPA request line — (855) 240-6392 — is an alternative to the online form. More contact options.
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. BBB records list the operator as a Sacramento, California LLC doing business as Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, incorporated in 2017.
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 — a disclaimer that doesn't stop the free listing from surfacing in a basic Google search of your name.
How to remove yourself
AdvancedBackgroundChecks' opt-out is a self-serve online form built around its own record-removal request tool — no account or payment is required to use it.
- 1
Start a removal request
Go to AdvancedBackgroundChecks' do-not-sell notice or the opt-out link in the site's footer, enter your email address, and complete the CAPTCHA to begin.
- 2
Find your record
Search using your first and last name plus the city and state where you live (age is optional), then locate your listing among the results and open "View Details."
- 3
Submit and confirm
Click "Remove My Record" on your listing, then open the confirmation email AdvancedBackgroundChecks sends and click the link inside to finalize the request.
If you'd rather not use the web form, AdvancedBackgroundChecks' own Notice of Right to Opt-Out lists a phone alternative, (855) 240-6392, and also honors browser-level Global Privacy Control signals. Because the operator behind AdvancedBackgroundChecks runs about ten sister people-search sites built from overlapping data — CyberBackgroundChecks among them — plan on checking each one separately for your own listing: registry records describe one opt-out as covering the whole family, but AdvancedBackgroundChecks' own notice doesn't confirm that, so it's worth verifying rather than assuming.
Why canceling a membership isn't enough
A common mistake is assuming that canceling a paid AdvancedBackgroundChecks membership removes your listing. AdvancedBackgroundChecks' own Terms of Service describe cancellation purely as a billing action — done in Account Settings to stop the subscription from renewing — with no mention of your public profile coming down as a result.
The listing and the paid membership are two separate systems.
AdvancedBackgroundChecks doesn't publish an official response-time SLA for opt-out requests, and third-party estimates vary widely — anywhere from about 24 hours to several business days — with the company's own notice warning that a suppressed listing "may appear in our data products again in the future."
BBB complaints add more texture: several describe requests that stall or "circle back and forth" without resolving, one reports the "Remove my record" button as unavailable, and another says the company refused removal on the grounds that the requester's state has no data-privacy law of its own — a claim not reflected anywhere in AdvancedBackgroundChecks' published opt-out notice.
Common questions
Who owns AdvancedBackgroundChecks?
BBB records list AdvancedBackgroundChecks.com as operated by a Sacramento, California LLC doing business as Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, incorporated in 2017. Data broker registry filings tie that same operator to 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?
It's designed to. Registry records for the shared operator state that an opt-out submitted on any one of its sites is meant to apply across the family. AdvancedBackgroundChecks' own opt-out notice doesn't spell this out, though, so it's worth confirming your listing is actually gone from each site you've found yourself on, including CyberBackgroundChecks.
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. BBB complaints add to that picture, describing requests that stall or circle back without resolving. The same operator also runs roughly ten sister sites built from overlapping data, worth rechecking too.
What if AdvancedBackgroundChecks won't honor my removal request?
BBB complaints describe requests that stall without resolving, a "Remove my record" button reported as unavailable, and one case where the site reportedly refused removal on the grounds that the requester's state has no data-privacy law of its own — worth knowing since the opt-out notice itself doesn't limit itself that way.
