TIPS
Removal is completely free — no membership required.
If your listing reappears, it may be due to a data partner providing a new or slightly different record (different spelling, updated address). Repeat the removal process for any new record that surfaces.
For support, call 1-800-950-0953.
Judges, prosecutors, law enforcement, and their immediate household family members qualify for expedited removal under Daniel's Law. Contact Public Data Check directly via their contact page rather than using the automated form.
You can also submit a "Do Not Sell My Info" request as an alternative to full deletion if you prefer to limit data sale without removing the record entirely.
Also opt out from PrivateRecords.net and BackgroundCheckers.net which share similar data sources.
