BackgroundChecks.org runs on BeenVerified
This site's people search funnels straight into BeenVerified, part of the LTVCO brand family that also runs PeopleLooker. Removing yourself from BeenVerified is how you get out of the data these searches surface.
Broker profile
BackgroundChecks.org
- BeenVerified front-end
A background-check directory styling itself "the Internet's premier resource" for public records, covering free people search, reverse address, phone, email, and VIN lookups, criminal-record searches, and state-by-state guides. The site names no operating company anywhere, but running a search hands you to BeenVerified - the results page loads beenverified.com's own assets and landing flow. That puts it in the LTVCO family alongside BeenVerified and PeopleLooker, and removal runs through BeenVerified's opt-out.

Background
Background
BackgroundChecks.org won't tell you who runs it. There is no company name, address, or privacy contact anywhere on the site - the copyright line just repeats the domain name. What it does have is a people-search box on every page, and submitting one hands you to BeenVerified. The results page pulls beenverified.com's scripts, analytics, and landing pages directly.
The site fills the gap between a content directory and a data broker. Its state-by-state public-records guides and provider reviews draw search traffic; the search box converts that traffic into BeenVerified subscriptions. The records a visitor ends up seeing are BeenVerified's, which is why Redact treats a removal from BeenVerified as the removal for this site - and why the LTVCO sister brands (PeopleLooker, PeopleSmart) matter here too, since they draw on the same family data backbone.
No on-site opt-out exists. The site has no privacy policy page, no opt-out form, and no privacy contact. To get your records out of what its searches surface, use BeenVerified's opt-out, then recheck here after a few weeks.

FAQ
Q & A
Who owns BackgroundChecks.org?
The site does not say - no company name, address, or contact appears anywhere on it. Its search results, however, are served through BeenVerified. The results page loads beenverified.com assets and lands visitors on a BeenVerified sign-up flow. BeenVerified is an LTVCO (The Lifetime Value Co.) brand, the same family as PeopleLooker and PeopleSmart.
How do I remove my information from BackgroundChecks.org?
Opt out of BeenVerified - the data its searches surface is BeenVerified's, and the site has no opt-out of its own. Our BeenVerified removal guide walks through the process step by step. Because LTVCO runs several sister brands on the same backbone, submitting PeopleLooker's opt-out as well closes the loop.
Is BackgroundChecks.org a consumer reporting agency?
No. Its searches route to BeenVerified, which is not an FCRA consumer reporting agency and cannot legally be used for employment, credit, insurance, or tenant-screening decisions. The site itself points visitors at separate FCRA-compliant providers for employment screening.
