Cyber Background Checks Opt Out Guide

CyberBackgroundChecks provides detailed personal reports that may include your address, relatives, and even court records, leaving you vulnerable to unwanted exposure. You can remove your information by following their opt-out procedure step by step. To save time and ensure your data stays removed, Vanish Me can automatically manage CyberBackgroundChecks and other broker sites on your behalf.

What is Cyber Background Checks?

CyberBackgroundChecks is a people search and background check site that aggregates personal data from public records, government filings, and online sources. The platform is part of the larger Radaris network of data brokers.

CyberBackgroundChecks reports may include names, phone numbers, addresses, relatives, property ownership, and criminal or court records. The site also offers reverse phone lookups and address searches, providing quick access to sensitive details about individuals.

While marketed as a tool for safety and verification, CyberBackgroundChecks has been criticized for exposing personal information without consent. Because it refreshes its database frequently, data may reappear even after an opt-out request. Many individuals view CyberBackgroundChecks as a privacy risk and opt out to better protect themselves online.
