What they publish

Aggregated public records — criminal history, arrest records, court filings, addresses — surfaced through a TruthFinder-powered search; the site itself disclaims FCRA use (not for employment/tenant/credit decisions).

Owner / network: BackgroundCheckMe.org — operates as an affiliate/sponsored front-end for TruthFinder (PeopleConnect family); explicitly states searches are powered by TruthFinder

Removing yourself, step by step

0 of 3 done
  1. Since this site is powered by TruthFinder, go to https://www.truthfinder.com/opt-out/ and search by name/state to find your record.
  2. Submit the opt-out request through that PeopleConnect-network flow (email verification typically required).
  3. Also check backgroundcheckme.org's own site footer for any separate "opt out"/"do not sell" link and submit there in parallel, since front-end affiliate sites sometimes require their own separate suppression request.

How they confirm it

per PeopleConnect network norms, typically email + CAPTCHA

CAPTCHA on their form, so this cannot be automated, and we never try.

If they ignore you

Escalate through PeopleConnect's privacy contact (used across Instant Checkmate, TruthFinder, BeenVerified-adjacent brands); CA data-broker registry complaint if unresolved.

Data brokers re-list. Check again in about 60 days.

Re-listing risk for this site: Moderate — PeopleConnect network sites re-sync from shared backend
