Our editorial assessment from public sources as of May 22, 2026, and our own opt-out testing as of May 22, 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.

The "PMB 29296" suffix marks it as a private-mailbox suite, not an operational office. A secondary BBB profile lists Sacramento, CA.

The same private-mailbox number, PMB 29296, appears on three broker addresses in three US cities:
- CyberBackgroundChecks: PO Box 803338 PMB 29296, Chicago IL
- FastPeopleSearch - 68 Harrison Ave Ste 605 PMB 29296, Boston MA
- PeopleSearchNow - PMB 29296, PO Box 441130, Detroit MI
A shared mailbox number doesn't prove common ownership. The link we can cite is the California filing, where Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC lists all three domains.
California-only CCPA delete per public guides. Per the public removal guides, CyberBackgroundChecks accepts CCPA-style delete requests only from California residents. Non-California residents go through the standard email-gated opt-out at /removal instead, which works but isn't a request under a state privacy law. See the removal guide troubleshooting section for non-CA escalation paths.

Data sources: US public records (voter rolls, property assessor data, court filings), commercial data aggregators, and indexed online sources, the usual people-search pattern. Records aren't verified against the actual subject and may be stale, mismatched, or attributed to the wrong person.
"Background Checks" branding, not a consumer report. Like SmartBackgroundChecks, CyberBackgroundChecks markets itself with background-check vocabulary. It says it isn't a consumer reporting agency, and its terms bar using reports for hiring, tenancy or credit. The branding is product packaging; the data product is the standard people-search aggregation.

What information does CyberBackgroundChecks publish?
The nine categories CyberBackgroundChecks publishes are full names with aliases, maiden names, and nicknames; current and previous home addresses often back 20-plus years; landline and mobile phone numbers with carrier identification; email addresses; approximate age and date of birth; names of likely relatives and associates; property and address-history records; reverse-lookup data (phone to name and carrier, address to resident, email to name); and background-check-style summaries.
Can I remove myself from CyberBackgroundChecks?
Yes. The opt-out is at cyberbackgroundchecks.com/removal (matching USPhoneBook's URL pattern). It runs an email-gated two-form flow. California residents can additionally use the CCPA-style delete request channel; non-California residents go through the standard /removal opt-out. See our CyberBackgroundChecks removal guide for step-by-step instructions.

Is CyberBackgroundChecks covered by FCRA?
Not by its own account. Despite the background check branding, CyberBackgroundChecks says it isn't a consumer reporting agency, and its terms bar using reports for hiring, tenancy or credit. The branding is product packaging; the underlying data product is standard people-search aggregation.
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 the CyberBackgroundChecks removal for you, re-scan about every 15 days and file again if your listing comes back.
