Background
Background
FastBackgroundCheck.com is a free people-search site with no paywall at all — the data it holds is the product it gives away, and the money is somewhere else. California's data-broker registry names its operator: Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, of Sacramento, which files for ten domains at once. If you've dealt with FastPeopleSearch, USPhoneBook, SmartBackgroundChecks or CyberBackgroundChecks, you've dealt with the same company.

Ten
Two addresses appear for one site. The California filing gives a Sacramento street address for Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC; the site's own footer gives a Boulder, Colorado suite, and its BBB profile is filed in Boulder too. We record both rather than picking one, because the registrant and the brand front are different things and a rights request should go to the registrant.
The site also cross-sells a business product called Skip Sherpa, pitched as an API for "Contact Enrichment, Property Looks and Owner Intelligence". That's worth noticing. A free consumer people-search site sitting beside a paid skip-tracing API for the same underlying data tells you which side of the business the records are really for.
Zero deletion requests, 1.2 million opt-outs. Mississippi Tornado Alley's 2024 filing reports no requests to delete at all and 1,204,017 requests to opt out of sale or sharing, of which 207,021 were denied. Those are different rights with different columns — the number that matters here is the opt-out one, and roughly one in six of those was refused.

Data types
These are the categories the site itself lists under "FREE Public Records Database". None of them sits behind a payment or an account.

Browsable, not just searchable. The site publishes an A-to-Z directory of people, a directory of phone numbers by area code, and an index of popular last names. Someone doesn't need to know your name to arrive at your listing — they can browse into it. That's the meaningful difference between this and a site that only answers direct queries.

Sister brands
Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC files for ten domains. The company's own note on the registry explains how an opt-out travels between them, and it's worth reading before you start.
The operator wrote down how its family opt-out works. Its registry filing says a request submitted "on any of these sites … will apply across all sites" for the sale of personal information — but that "to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information that occurs through the online collection, consumers should opt out separately on each website." One request covers the record; the site-by-site pass covers what each site collects from visitors.
Reputation
Trust signals
The BBB carries a profile for this site but no grade — the file records that the business is working through previously closed complaints.
FAQ
Q & A
Who owns FastBackgroundCheck.com?
Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC, of Sacramento, California. It's named on the company's California data-broker filing, which covers ten domains including FastPeopleSearch and USPhoneBook. The filing also lists SmartBackgroundChecks, CyberBackgroundChecks and SearchPeopleFree, whose own BBB records name a different or undisclosed operator - so escalate a denied request using the contact published by the brand you actually used, not this one. The site's own footer gives a Boulder, Colorado address, which is where its BBB profile is filed as well.
How do I remove my information from FastBackgroundCheck.com?
Use the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link in the site's footer, at fastbackgroundcheck.com/optout. The operator says on its own filing that a request submitted on any of its ten sites applies across all of them — but also that opting out of what each site collects from visitors has to be done site by site. Our removal guide covers both passes.
Why is any of this free?
The consumer site gives the records away; the business beside it sells access to the same data. FastBackgroundCheck cross-promotes Skip Sherpa, an API for contact enrichment and owner intelligence, and publishes its own API in the footer. The free search is the shop window.
How likely is my opt-out to be refused?
Its operator's 2024 filing reports 1,204,017 requests to opt out of sale or sharing, 993,412 granted in full and 207,021 denied — a bit over one in six. The median response was one day, so a refusal comes back fast. Check that your listing is actually gone rather than assuming.
Is FastBackgroundCheck.com a consumer reporting agency?
No. Its footer says the site isn't a CRA under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and can't be used for employment, credit or tenant screening, and its operator's California filing answers no to FCRA regulation.
Take yourself off data broker sites
Redact scans 120+ data broker sites from your device, finds where your details are listed, and submits the removal requests for you. If a broker relists you, it files again.
August 5, 2026 · Drafted from the California data-broker registry CSV (downloaded and read directly), the site's own homepage and footer read through a headless browser, and its BBB profile. The site blocks plain automated fetching, and its opt-out page would not render for us — that limit is stated where it applies.
