CheckPeople aggregates a variety of personal details into searchable profiles:
- Full name and aliases
- Current and previous addresses

Alternative Contact Methods
If you prefer not to use the online form, you can contact CheckPeople directly:
- Phone: (800) 267-2122

- Mail: CheckPeople, LLC, 111 N. Orange Ave., Suite 800, Orlando, Florida
Use a Disposable Email Address
When submitting your opt-out request, consider using a throwaway or masked email address rather than your primary one. Data brokers have been known to add contacts to marketing lists, even when the purpose of the contact is an opt-out request.
Important Things to Know
Removal Is Not Permanent
Data brokers like CheckPeople regularly refresh their databases from public records. Your information may reappear weeks or months after you've successfully opted out. Plan to check back periodically and resubmit your request if necessary.
Partial Removal Limitations
Even after your own record is removed, your name may still appear in other people's records as a listed relative or associate. Life changes such as moving to a new state or changing your name can also cause CheckPeople's system to generate a fresh listing for you.
CheckPeople Is Just One Site
Opting out of CheckPeople does not affect your data on other people search sites like Whitepages, BeenVerified, Spokeo, or the dozens of other data brokers that may have your information.
