BackgroundChecks.me is a PeopleLooker property
Every search on this site routes to PeopleLooker, whose membership it sells directly. PeopleLooker is part of LTVCO, the brand family behind BeenVerified - opting out of both brands is how you get your records off this site.
Broker profile
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. PeopleLooker is an LTVCO (The Lifetime Value Co.) brand, the same family as BeenVerified, so your listing here is a family listing - opt out of PeopleLooker and BeenVerified to clear it.

Background
Background
BackgroundChecks.me doesn't hide what it is - it just hides 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.), the data backbone behind BeenVerified and PeopleSmart. The records a visitor sees through this storefront are the LTVCO family's, which is why removal runs through the family opt-outs 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 - LTVCO runs its brands' suppressions separately over one data backbone. Recheck this site a few weeks after both.
