DateCheckPro is a background check website marketed toward online daters who want to verify someone's identity before meeting in person. The site compiles sensitive personal data — including criminal records and social media profiles — and makes it searchable by anyone. If your information appears there, removing it requires a direct approach since the site offers no standard public opt-out form.
What Information Does DateCheckPro Display?
DateCheckPro positions itself as a dating safety tool, but the data it aggregates is extensive and can be accessed by anyone — not just people with legitimate safety concerns. A typical profile may contain:
- Full name and known aliases
- Current and past addresses
- Phone numbers and email addresses
- Criminal records (arrests, charges, convictions)
- Sex offender registry status
- Social media profiles and usernames
- Age and date of birth
- Relatives and associates
The inclusion of criminal records and sex offender status makes this site particularly sensitive. Even arrests that did not lead to convictions can appear, which can damage reputations unfairly.
No Public Opt-Out Form
Unlike many people-search sites, DateCheckPro does not provide a straightforward self-service opt-out page. To request removal of your data, you need to contact their privacy or support team directly by email, citing your rights under applicable privacy laws.
How to Request Data Removal from DateCheckPro
Step 1: Locate Their Privacy Contact Information
Visit DateCheckPro's website and scroll to the bottom of the page. Look for links labeled "Privacy Policy," "Terms of Service," or "Contact Us." Within the Privacy Policy, there is typically a section describing how to submit data deletion or opt-out requests, along with a contact email address for their privacy team.
Step 2: Send a Written Removal Request by Email
Compose an email to their privacy or support contact. Your message should be clear and include the following:
- Your full legal name
- Any aliases or name variations that appear in their system
- Your current and any previous addresses associated with your profile
- A direct link to your profile on DateCheckPro, if you can locate it
- A clear request to delete all personal data they hold about you
- A citation of your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or your state's applicable privacy law
Step 3: Cite Your Legal Rights
Including a legal basis for your request strengthens it and often accelerates the response. Under the CCPA, California residents have the right to request deletion of their personal information held by data brokers. Many other states have passed similar laws. Even if you are not in California, citing CCPA is common practice and many companies honor such requests regardless of your location.
A brief statement like the following is effective: "Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and applicable state privacy laws, I am requesting the immediate deletion of all personal data you hold about me, including any records, profile information, or derived data."
Step 4: Follow Up if Necessary
If you don't receive a response within 10 business days, send a follow-up email referencing your original request. Under the CCPA, businesses are required to respond to verified deletion requests within 45 days. Keep records of all correspondence in case you need to escalate.
Your Data Comes from Multiple Sources
DateCheckPro aggregates data from public records and other data broker databases. Even if they successfully remove your listing, the underlying data sources that feed their system still contain your information. This means your profile can be rebuilt and re-added the next time DateCheckPro refreshes its data. Removing yourself from the primary data brokers that supply these sites is the only way to address the problem at its root.
Address the Root Cause: Upstream Data Brokers
Sites like DateCheckPro don't generate data on their own — they purchase or license it from major data brokers such as Acxiom, LexisNexis, Spokeo, and dozens of others. If your information lives in those upstream databases, it will continue to flow into people-search sites even after you opt out of them one by one.
To meaningfully reduce your exposure, you need to opt out of the primary data brokers as well. The most impactful ones to target first include:
- Acxiom — one of the largest data brokers in the world
- Spokeo — widely used by aggregator sites
- BeenVerified — a major people-search platform
- Intelius / PeopleConnect — powers multiple downstream sites
- WhitePages — a foundational source for phone and address data
Why Manual Opt-Outs Fall Short
The challenge with sites like DateCheckPro — especially those without a public opt-out form — is that the removal process requires time, persistence, and repeat effort. You need to find the right contact, write an effective email, wait for a response, follow up if needed, and then check back months later to make sure your data hasn't reappeared. Multiply that by the hundreds of data broker sites that may have your information, and it becomes an unmanageable task.
This is the problem that PrivacyOn was built to solve. Instead of hunting down opt-out forms and writing removal emails for dozens of individual sites, PrivacyOn handles the entire process automatically — submitting removal requests to 100+ data brokers and people-search sites on your behalf, monitoring for your data on an ongoing basis, and re-submitting requests whenever your information reappears. For a site like DateCheckPro where the opt-out process is deliberately difficult, having an automated service in your corner makes a real difference.
