What they publish
Name, age, address history, phone numbers, relatives, and criminal/court-record summaries compiled for background-check reports. Notably, California's DELETE Act enforcement reporting (per stateofsurveillance.org) flagged BackgroundAlert for non-compliance, so status should be periodically re-verified.

How they confirm it
requests an uploaded image; multiple opt-out guides (Incogni) note approvals have occurred without a real ID being uploaded, and explicitly recommend NOT sending a real ID photo — use caution and consider a non-identifying image if you want to test the flow, or accept the risk of using a real ID for a cleaner request
If they ignore you
Re-submit via email if listed on the site's contact/privacy page; file a CA data-broker registry complaint (CA DOJ) since BackgroundAlert has been named in DELETE Act compliance coverage; consider a formal FTC complaint for unresolved requests.
