How to Opt Out of CheckPeople (2026)

CheckPeople.com is operated by CheckPeople, LLC, based in Orlando, Florida, and its own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy contain no mention of LTVCo, PeopleConnect, or PrivateEye, meaning the connection to LTVCo sometimes rumored online does not appear in CheckPeople's own legal documents.

Opt-out flow verification attempted: August 14, 2026. CheckPeople.com's opt-out, terms, and privacy pages returned a persistent Cloudflare bot-verification challenge on every direct attempt and in a live browser session, so this page is marked BLOCKED-VERIFY and relies on CheckPeople's own archived legal pages for the entity findings below.

Does LTVCo Own CheckPeople? Here Is the Primary Evidence

CheckPeople is sometimes paired with BeenVerified and PeopleLooker, two confirmed brands of The Lifetime Value Company (LTVCo), in secondary write-ups online. That pairing does not hold up against either company's own primary sources. LTVCo's own public brand page lists BeenVerified, PeopleLooker, NeighborWho, Ownerly, PeopleSmart, NumberGuru, ReversePhone, Bumper, and MoneyBot5000 as its brands; CheckPeople is not on that list. Separately, CheckPeople's own archived Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, the most recent primary-source copies of that legal text this session could locate, identify "CheckPeople, LLC" as the operating entity, with a Privacy Policy contact address of 111 N. Orange Ave., Suite 800, Orlando, Florida 32801, and neither document mentions LTVCo, PeopleConnect, or PrivateEye at all. Based on this two-sided check, this page treats CheckPeople as an independently branded operation rather than a confirmed LTVCo property, and it does not cross-link this page to LTVCo's BeenVerified/PeopleLooker opt-out guide on that basis. If CheckPeople has restructured its ownership since these documents were captured, that change would not appear here; CheckPeople's live legal pages could not be reached this session to check for a more recent version.

The Opt-Out Process, Based on CheckPeople's Own Recent Crawl History

Because CheckPeople.com's live opt-out page was blocked by bot protection during this page's own research, this page cannot walk through the current live form step by step. What can be said with reasonable confidence, based on the Internet Archive's own record of real request URLs generated by CheckPeople's live site as recently as August 2026, is the general shape of the mechanism: CheckPeople runs a name-and-date-of-birth verification flow (visible in captured URL patterns such as an opt-out name-entry step followed by a date-of-birth step and a results step), and has historically also run a simpler do-not-sell form asking for a first name, last name, city, and state, protected by a CAPTCHA. Both point to a self-service, no-account-required removal request rather than a paid or account-gated process, consistent with what CheckPeople's Terms of Service describe as available "free of charge."

This page deliberately stops short of describing exact form fields, click order, or a current processing-time estimate for CheckPeople, because none of that could be confirmed on the live site this session. If you need to opt out of CheckPeople today, go directly to checkpeople.com/opt-out and follow whatever the live form actually presents, and treat any third-party description, including the general shape above, as a starting orientation rather than a confirmed walkthrough.

Difficulty: Unrated (Archive Only)

No Easy/Moderate/Hard rating is offered for CheckPeople. A difficulty rating requires watching the live form, and CheckPeople's opt-out page could not be reached this session past its Cloudflare bot-verification challenge. The general shape described above, drawn from the site's own recent request-URL history, suggests a self-service, no-account flow, but this page will not guess at a difficulty level it could not observe directly.

California Residents: Try DROP First

California's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, run by the California Privacy Protection Agency, has taken consumer deletion submissions since January 1, 2026, and reaches every broker registered with the state from one request; registered brokers have had to check DROP and act on matched requests since August 1, 2026. Check the CPPA's public data broker registry to see whether CheckPeople, LLC is a registered broker before relying on DROP alone; this page could not independently re-confirm CheckPeople's current registry status this session because CheckPeople's live pages were blocked, so verify directly on the CPPA's registry rather than assuming either way.

Outside California

A number of states now give residents a statutory delete right against covered businesses, generally enforced only by the state attorney general rather than through a private lawsuit, with coverage thresholds that vary by state. Where no such law applies, CheckPeople's opt-out process is a voluntary one the company has chosen to publish, not one you have an independent state-law right to compel. See our full guide to opting out of data brokers for the broader multi-state picture.

The FCRA Line Matters Especially Here

CheckPeople markets itself heavily around criminal-record and background-check searches, which makes the personal-use caveat especially important for this specific site: its reports should never be used to decide whether to hire, house, insure, or extend credit to someone. The FTC has already brought a major enforcement action against sites marketing this kind of report for exactly those uses; in 2023 it required TruthFinder and Instant Checkmate to pay $5.8 million to settle charges that they marketed background reports for employment and tenant screening without meeting the Fair Credit Reporting Act's obligations for a consumer reporting agency, and separately alleged their "Remove" and "Flag as Inaccurate" buttons did not actually correct information shown to other users. If someone used a CheckPeople report to make a decision about you in one of those contexts, that is a distinct FCRA dispute-rights issue from the personal-privacy opt-out described on this page.

This article provides general information about a private company's opt-out process, not legal advice. CheckPeople's live opt-out form could not be independently verified this session due to the site's bot protection; the entity findings above come from CheckPeople's own archived legal pages and LTVCo's own public brand list, and the process description is a general orientation based on the site's own recent request-URL history, not a completed live walkthrough. Verify current steps directly on CheckPeople's website before relying on this guide. Information last verified on August 14, 2026. Consult a licensed attorney in your state for advice on your specific situation.
