How long does it take SmartBackgroundChecks to remove my information?

within 72 hours (some sources cite 3-9 days)

Is the SmartBackgroundChecks opt-out free?

Yes — SmartBackgroundChecks's own opt-out is free. It's the time, the verification steps, and the re-listing that make people hand it to a removal service.

Does opting out of SmartBackgroundChecks cover its sister sites?

SmartBackgroundChecks shares a network with advancedbackgroundchecks.com, cyberbackgroundchecks.com, fastbackgroundcheck.com. Phone opt-out alternative: 800-571-0614. Use a disposable email. Shares the Enformion/Endato data backbone with AdvancedBackgroundChecks, CyberBackgroundChecks, and FastBackgroundCheck, but each requires its own separate opt-out.

Do I still need to opt out of SmartBackgroundChecks if I use Delist?

No. Delist files the SmartBackgroundChecks opt-out for you, along with the other brokers that carry your information, and re-checks that it stays down.

Get off SmartBackgroundChecks — and every other broker

Your information is rarely on just one site. Delist finds where you appear, files the opt-outs, and keeps checking that they stay down — across the brokers, not just SmartBackgroundChecks.
