MugshotLook

Yes. MugshotLook is a people-search site specializing in mugshots, arrest histories, and criminal-records reports, sold as $1 trial reports that convert to a recurring subscription. It's registered as a data broker with California (Infomatics LLC's filing, shared with PrivateReports), and it was one of the 15 brands researcher JayeLTee found on a shared backend exposed in 2024, whose admin accounts were @mc2data.com addresses.

Its California data-broker registration and privacy policy name Infomatics LLC of Woodland Hills, California, which is also the registrant for PrivateReports and PublicSearcher, and the three share support infrastructure. In 2024 MugshotLook was one of 15 brands with users on an exposed server whose admin accounts were @mc2data.com addresses; the researcher who found it said he didn't know if MC2 Data owns the sites. MC2 Data, LLC, a Delaware company, withdrew its Florida registration on October 4, 2024. No corporate filing we can cite documents any relationship between Infomatics and MC2 Data.

Open the request page at mugshotlook.com/api/helper/optOutLight/search and choose Remove My Information. The form asks for the listed person's name, date of birth, city, ZIP code and state, then an email address, and the site says it removes nothing until you click the confirmation link it sends there. The earlier search form, which errored out every time we tried it on August 10, 2026, is gone. If the link never arrives, email support@mugshotlook.com with your name, state, and the listing details. Our MugshotLook removal guide covers each step and the fallback routes.

Assume no. These brands shared a backend in 2024, but none of them says suppression travels between brands, so each site that lists you needs its own request. The same request page now runs on every one of them, including InmatesSearcher, Background Checkers and Check Secrets, whose earlier forms failed when we tried them in August, as this site's did. PeopleSearch123 and PrivateReports serve it too.

The $1 trial converts to a ~$39.82 charge if not canceled within 48 hours, and the subscription then renews at ~$49.82 a month. That's the most common complaint in MugshotLook's reviews. Cancel through support@mugshotlook.com or (888) 408-3417, and dispute the charge with your card issuer if support doesn't resolve it.

Not by its own account. MugshotLook disclaims being a consumer reporting agency and says its reports aren't for employment, credit, insurance, or tenant-screening decisions. A disclaimer isn't a ruling, though. If a report was used against you in one of those decisions anyway, the FCRA may still give you rights. The disclaimer also doesn't soften the practical harm of an old arrest photo surfacing in a name search, which is why removal is worth doing.
