An opt‑out process is available via their website, but removal is only for their site, and your data may still appear elsewhere. While the broker states it offers free removal, some users report obstacles such as recurring re‑listings or indirect redirection.

AdvancedBackgroundChecks Privacy Risks and How to Remove Your Personal Information
They scrape and aggregate your personal data:
AdvancedBackgroundChecks compiles records from public sources such as state and local government databases, court records, land registries and other accessible repositories. These feeds may capture names, addresses, ages, prior residencies and phone numbers.
They engage in automatic data harvesting:
Beyond direct public records, the broker uses search interfaces (by name, email, phone, address) to pull together data on individuals. It may also integrate third‑party API services or data‑broker networks (reports mention API services such as Enformion/Endato).
Opting out is possible, but removal is difficult:
Even after submitting an opt‑out request at AdvancedBackgroundChecks, deleted listings can reappear as new data is continually gathered from upstream sources. Many users must repeat the process multiple times. Third‑party removal‑monitoring services can streamline this and help manage listings across many brokers.
Companies like AdvancedBackgroundChecks are selling your information right now.
Most data brokers make opting out difficult or impossible. We locate your exposed data, remove it, and continue monitoring as new brokers are added.
