CyberBackgroundChecks sells access to personal data on millions of Americans: full name, age/DOB, current and past addresses, phone numbers. The free preview confirms your identity. The paid report hands over the dossier. No verification of who is searching or why.
What is CyberBackgroundChecks?
A free people-search site offering name, phone, address, and email lookups that return detailed personal and public-record profiles.
CyberBackgroundChecks's particular danger is the surfacing of information most people do not realize is publicly available. A single search reveals your home address, the names of your family members, and your approximate age. All without any verification of who is searching, or why.
What data CyberBackgroundChecks has on you
A CyberBackgroundChecks profile can include a surprisingly detailed picture of your life. Here is what they typically display:
- full name
- age/DOB
- current and past addresses, often going back 10 to 20 years
- phone numbers, landline and mobile, sourced from commercial providers and public records
- email addresses, often going back 10 to 20 years
- relatives/associates, family members and known associates, often with links to their profiles
- criminal records, arrests, convictions, and court filings where available
- business records
- map of current residence
Not every profile contains all categories. Depth depends on what public records exist in your jurisdiction and how much commercial data has been linked to your identity. For most adults with any public record history, CyberBackgroundChecks has enough to paint a detailed picture.

The catch: your data comes back
The most important thing to understand about CyberBackgroundChecks removal: it is temporary.
Data stays in upstream Enformion sources and can reappear; periodic rechecks recommended.
Data can return after an opt-out if the broker later ingests a new record. Whether and when that happens varies by company and source. Periodic checks can catch re-listings; a monitoring service can re-file when supported.
This is the part Delist handles. CyberBackgroundChecks is one of dozens of sites holding your information, and removals do not stay removed on their own. Delist finds where you are exposed, files each opt-out, and re-checks for re-listings — re-filing when your data comes back.

- Other brokers are not affected. Removing yourself from CyberBackgroundChecks does nothing to smartbackgroundchecks.com, advancedbackgroundchecks.com, fastbackgroundcheck.com, or the dozens of other sites where your data is exposed. Each requires its own opt-out.
- Cached copies may persist. Google and other search engines may cache your CyberBackgroundChecks profile for days or weeks after it is removed. Use Google's content removal tool to request de-indexing.
- Multiple profiles may exist. If you have lived in multiple states, changed your name, or have multiple phone numbers, CyberBackgroundChecks may have built separate profiles for each variation. Search and opt out of each.
Tips for a successful opt-out
Use a dedicated email. Use an alias or a separate account for removal requests. Keeps your primary inbox out of CyberBackgroundChecks's system and keeps confirmation emails organized.
Search every angle. Do not just search by name. Try phone number and email too. You may have more than one listing.
Set a calendar reminder. Your data can return if the broker ingests new source records. Set a recurring reminder to re-check and re-submit. Tedious but necessary if you are doing this manually.
Document the request. Screenshot the confirmation page and save the confirmation email. Useful if you ever need to prove you requested removal.
