How to opt out of CheckPeople
- 1
Go to the CheckPeople Suppression Center at https://www.checkpeople.com/opt-out.
- 2
Enter your email address, tick the box to agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and click Continue.
- 3
Open the verification email from CheckPeople and click the link to continue.
- 4
Follow the Suppression Center's on-screen steps to find your record and request the opt-out.
- 5
Allow 5 to 7 days: CheckPeople says most opt-out requests take effect within that time, and that removal from search engines can take longer.
CheckPeople says its Suppression Center manages the display of your information on the people search websites owned by CheckPeople.com. It doesn't name those sites, and its California registry entry lists only checkpeople.com.
If the opt-out does not work
- Email privacy@checkpeople.com, the address CheckPeople's privacy policy gives for privacy and deletion requests.
- Call CheckPeople toll-free at 1-800-267-2122 (Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm Eastern); its terms of service list this number for removing your information.
Not just CheckPeople
We find your listings on dozens of sites and remove them for you.
Tips
- On CheckPeople's privacy page, use the opt-out button, not "Delete my user data": CheckPeople says deleting user data closes a CheckPeople account, while the opt-out is the request to take your information out of its people search results.
- Use an email address you can check right away, because the next step only starts from the link in the verification email.
- Old CheckPeople pages can stay in search engine results for a while after the opt-out takes effect; CheckPeople says search engine removal can take longer than its own 5 to 7 days.
Questions about CheckPeople
Do I need a CheckPeople account to opt out?
No. CheckPeople says an opt-out request applies to its people search results whether or not you are a member, and the Suppression Center starts with just your email address.
How long does a CheckPeople opt-out take?
CheckPeople says most opt-out requests take effect within 5 to 7 days of submission, and that it may take longer for results to disappear from search engines.
What is the difference between "Delete my user data" and opting out on CheckPeople?
Deleting user data is for people with a CheckPeople account: CheckPeople says it cancels subscriptions and deletes the account. The opt-out is the separate request that removes your information from CheckPeople's people search results.
