FastBackgroundCheck provides “free people search, reverse phone lookup, and address property records.” In other words, it’s a people search site.

However, sites like FastBackgroundCheck put all your personal data in one place, making it easy and quick for anyone to find out where you live, work, or who your family members are (among other things). 

Having your personal details on people search sites like FastBackgroundCheck can increase your risk of harassment, stalking, doxxing, phishing, and other threats. 

If you don’t want your personal information to be accessible through FastBackgroundCheck, you can opt out.

However, removal isn’t necessarily permanent. People search sites tend to relist individuals when they find more information about them. 

For this reason, opt outs need to be continuous. Be sure to recheck FastBackgroudnCheck once in a while to see if your profile was relisted. If it was, you’ll need to repeat the above opt-out process.
