TL;DR: FastBackgroundCheck is a free US people-search site that lists names, past addresses, phone numbers, relatives and property details. Opt out through its form at fastbackgroundcheck.com/optout (or call 866-679-8725), confirm via the email link, then list the details you want removed. Removal is often quick, but listings can come back, so recheck every few months.
What FastBackgroundCheck shows
Unlike paid report sites, FastBackgroundCheck shows a lot for free. According to a June 2026 LifeLock guide, listings can include your real name and aliases, current and former addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, relatives, age and marital status, and property details such as estimated value. A free listing with all of that is easy for anyone to misuse.
How to opt out, step by step
- On fastbackgroundcheck.com, scroll to the footer and click Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information, then Opt-Out Form (or go straight to fastbackgroundcheck.com/optout). You can also call 866-679-8725.
- Submit the short first form with an email address. A spare or masked email is a good idea here.
- Open the email from FastBackgroundCheck and click the link to the full form.
- List the exact details you want removed: name, date of birth, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses that appear in your listing.
- Submit and keep the confirmation email.
The LifeLock guide says the company aims to remove information within three days, but to allow up to two weeks before chasing it.
Why listings come back
People-search sites refresh their data from public and commercial records. A new utility account, a property record or a change of address can create a fresh profile months later. Set a reminder to search your name again every three to six months.
Your details are almost certainly on similar sites too. Work through PeopleWhiz and Veripages, then the bigger list in our US data broker opt-out guide. If you're short on time, our post on who sells your data explains which removals matter most.
If you're removing yourself for safety
If someone is using your address to harass or follow you, do the removals but also tell the police and consider whether your state has an address confidentiality program. Our doxxing guide has the wider steps.
A free email exposure check shows whether your email has been in known breaches, and the full Scan My Shadow scan adds your phone number.
