Who's Looking You Up Right Now?

💼

Employers

Hiring managers Google candidates and use people-search sites to verify information before—and after—formal background checks. Old addresses, public records, and associated names all show up.

🏠

Landlords

Property owners routinely search prospective tenants on Spokeo and similar sites to supplement credit checks. Old eviction records and address history can influence their decision.

💑

Dates & Relationships

Before a first date, most people search each other online. Background check sites reveal your address, age, relatives, and any public records—sometimes inaccurately.

👥

Neighbors & Acquaintances

Nosy neighbors, estranged family, or people you met briefly can look up your home address and phone number for as little as $1 on dozens of sites.

⚖️

Opposing Parties in Disputes

Landlord-tenant disputes, civil suits, and contentious separations can lead people to look up detailed personal information about you.

🕵️

Stalkers & Bad Actors

People with harmful intent use the same publicly available tools. Background check sites are the first stop for anyone trying to find your location.

What Background Check Sites Show About You

Most people are surprised by how much is publicly available—and how often it's wrong.

How It Works

Opt Out of Every Site Automatically

Manually opting out of each site requires individual requests to each company—some via phone, some via fax, most via obscure web forms. GhostVault does it all for you.

📋

1. Find Every Profile

We scan 500+ sites to locate every record containing your name, address, phone number, and personal details—including profiles you didn't know existed.

✉️

2. Submit Opt-Out Requests

Automated opt-out and deletion requests are submitted to each site using CCPA and applicable state privacy laws. Sites must comply within 45 days.

🔁

3. Re-Remove Automatically

Sites re-add your data from new public records every few months. GhostVault monitors continuously and re-submits removal requests before your info can be found again.

Background Check Removal FAQ

Will removing myself affect legitimate background checks?
These people-search sites (Spokeo, BeenVerified, etc.) are separate from formal background check providers like Checkr or Sterling, which employers use for employment verification and criminal record checks. Removing yourself from consumer data brokers does not affect formal employment or housing background checks that access official government records.
Can I remove old addresses and outdated information?
Yes. Data broker sites often show addresses going back 10–20 years, which can be misleading. GhostVault removes your entire profile from these sites, including outdated address history, old phone numbers, and stale employment data.
What if there are incorrect records about me?
Inaccurate records are common. Data brokers often merge records from multiple people with similar names, creating profiles with errors. Removing your profiles from these sites eliminates the inaccurate information along with everything else.
How long until my records are removed?
Most sites process removal requests within 7–14 days, though they have up to 45 days under CCPA. Initial scan and submission happens within 24 hours. You'll typically see 80–90% of your profiles removed within 30 days.
Do I need to live in California to opt out?
No. While CCPA is a California law, most major data brokers have adopted its opt-out requirements for all US residents due to business simplicity. Additional state privacy laws in Virginia, Colorado, Texas, and others also provide removal rights regardless of where you live.
What if a site won't remove my information?
We track removal confirmations and follow up on non-compliant sites. For sites that repeatedly ignore requests, we can escalate through applicable state privacy regulators. Our team handles all follow-up so you don't have to.
