How to Opt Out and Remove Your Data from FastBackgroundCheck
FastBackgroundCheck offers an opt‑out process for individuals requesting removal of their personal data, but the process is only partially streamlined and removal may take time and might need repeating. While you can submit a removal request and should receive confirmation, your information may reappear if the broker re‑collects it from fresh sources.
For detailed instructions, view our Opt-Out Guide.

FastBackgroundCheck Privacy Risks and How to Remove Your Personal Data
They scrape and aggregate your personal data:
FastBackgroundCheck aggregates public records, marketing‑data lists, and other third‑party sources in order to build searchable individual profiles. The site’s offerings include name, age, contact info, addresses, and in some cases court or property records.
They engage in automatic data harvesting:
Data is drawn via automated aggregation of publicly available documents (such as court records, property records, voter registration), scraping or collection of web‑visible information (e.g., social media, directories), and partnerships or purchases from other data brokers or list‑providers.
Opting out is possible, but removal is difficult:
Though FastBackgroundCheck provides an opt‑out mechanism, removal is not guaranteed to be permanent. FastBackgroundCheck may refresh its database or re‑acquire your data from new sources. Many find it time‑consuming to monitor removal and repeat submissions.
Companies like FastBackgroundCheck are selling your data 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.
