BackgroundChecks.me
- PeopleLooker storefront
A background-check storefront for PeopleLooker. The site says plainly that "searches route to PeopleLooker - a paid people-search service", sells PeopleLooker memberships on its own pages, and hands support to PeopleLooker's phone line and email, but it never names an operator of its own. PeopleLooker is an LTVCO (The Lifetime Value Co.) brand, a sibling of BeenVerified. Opting out of PeopleLooker clears what this site surfaces, and BeenVerified needs its own request if you're listed there too.

Our editorial assessment from public sources as of August 4, 2026. Each dimension is scored 1 to 4, higher means more exposure, and the overall gauge is their average, unless a confirmed breach holds it higher. It is an opinion, not a finding about the company's conduct or legal compliance. Dimensions marked "Editorial estimate" are estimated from the kind of service offered rather than observed on this site. How we score
What each dimension means
- Data published: how much and how sensitive the personal data they put out.
- Re-listing frequency: how quickly you reappear after opting out.
- Complaint record: the volume and pattern of complaints across BBB, Trustpilot, and Sitejabber. No listing, or a listing with no reviews, counts against the broker.
- Opt-out friction: how hard the removal process is to complete.
- Operator opacity: how hidden the operating company and its principals are.
- Prior data incidents: history of breaches or leaks of the data they hold.

Background
Background
BackgroundChecks.me says what it is, but not who owns it. The site's own copy says searches route to PeopleLooker, its sign-up flow activates a PeopleLooker membership, and its cancellation instructions hand you PeopleLooker's phone number and support email. What it never names is an operating company of its own; its privacy-policy link doesn't even resolve to a page.
PeopleLooker is a brand of LTVCO (The Lifetime Value Co.), which also owns and operates BeenVerified and PeopleSmart. Because this site's searches route to PeopleLooker, removal runs through PeopleLooker's opt-out rather than anything on this site.
No on-site opt-out exists. Suppress your listing at PeopleLooker's opt-out, and submit BeenVerified's removal as well if you're listed there. LTVCO brands keep separate suppression lists. Recheck this site a few weeks after both.

FAQ
Q & A
Who owns BackgroundChecks.me?
The site names no operating company of its own. Its searches route to PeopleLooker, it sells PeopleLooker memberships, and its support channels are PeopleLooker's, but none of that says who owns the site, and it isn't on the California data broker filing that covers PeopleLooker. PeopleLooker itself is owned and operated by LTVCO (The Lifetime Value Co.), which also owns and operates BeenVerified and PeopleSmart.
How do I remove my information from BackgroundChecks.me?
Suppress your listing with PeopleLooker at peoplelooker.com/app/optout/search, then check BeenVerified and submit its opt-out if you're listed there too. LTVCO brands run separate suppressions. The site itself offers no removal process.
Is BackgroundChecks.me a consumer reporting agency?
It doesn't present itself as one. It sells PeopleLooker reports, and PeopleLooker says it isn't a consumer reporting agency; its terms bar using reports for employment, credit, insurance, or tenant-screening decisions.
Take yourself off data broker sites
Redact scans data broker sites from your device. The free scan shows which of your details are exposed but hides which broker lists you; Premium and Ultimate show where each listing is. They also submit removals for most brokers Redact covers and hand you the opt-out link for the rest, then re-scan on a schedule and file again if you reappear. Coverage varies by broker.
