FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove myself from background check websites?

Most consumer background check sites, such as BeenVerified, TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, Intelius, and PeopleLooker, offer an opt-out page. Search for your listing, submit the opt-out with the profile link, and confirm by email. Several of these brands share databases, so one opt-out may not cover them all.

Are background check sites the same as employment screening companies?

No. Consumer people-search sites are not consumer reporting agencies and cannot legally be used for employment or tenant screening under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Employment screening companies follow FCRA rules, including your right to dispute inaccurate information.
