CheckPeople's Criminal Records

CheckPeople pulls criminal records from county court databases. Opting out removes your profile from their site — it doesn't expunge the underlying court records. The opt-out stops CheckPeople from surfacing those records in their reports and search results.

Related Sites to Opt Out Of

CheckPeople shares data infrastructure with several other background check sites. After opting out of CheckPeople, also submit opt-outs to TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and BeenVerified for complete coverage of the major criminal background check platforms. Each has its own separate opt-out process.

This is just one of 500+ brokers selling your data.

GhostVault removes you from all of them automatically — and keeps you removed.
