Heads up: The opt-out link on file now returns "page not found". The process has probably moved. The steps below may be out of date. Search the site's footer for "privacy", "do not sell", or "opt out" links.

Steps

  1. Check whether you're listed. Search advancedbackgroundchecks.com for your name, city, and state. Note any listings that match you, including older addresses.
  2. Open the opt-out form. Go to AdvancedBackgroundChecks's opt-out page and fill in the form with the details that match your listing.
  3. Check again later. Search for yourself again in a few days. Brokers often re-add people from new public records, so put a reminder on your calendar to check again in 6 months.

Is it free to opt out of AdvancedBackgroundChecks?

Submitting an opt-out request yourself is normally free. You don't need to buy a report or a membership to ask for removal.

How long does it take?

It varies. Some sites remove a listing within a day or two, others take several weeks. Search again after a few days and again later.

Will my information come back?

It can. Brokers rebuild profiles from new public records, so plan to check again about every 6 months.
