PeopleFinders

Yes. PeopleFinders.com is a paid-unlock people-search site that publishes full name, age, current and previous addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, names of likely relatives and associates, court records, criminal records, property records, and marriage/divorce records. It dates to 1999, is registered in California by Peoplefinders, LLC, and receives searches from referral sites such as PrivateEye through affiliate links. Confi-Chek, Inc. was sued as its operator in Eisenberg v. Confi-Chek. PeopleFinders disclaims FCRA coverage. BBB rating: C (NOT accredited).

PeopleFinders is operated by Peoplefinders, LLC (dba FindANeighborhood), which California's data broker registry lists as the filer for peoplefinders.com. Confi-Chek, Inc. was sued as the operator of PeopleFinders.com in Eisenberg v. Confi-Chek and agreed to a $4.89 million settlement; no filing we can cite says Confi-Chek runs or owns it today. Its California filing gives 548 Market St Suite 29296, San Francisco.

PeopleFinders sells full background-style reports including full legal name and aliases, age and date of birth, full current and previous addresses, unredacted phone numbers (landline and mobile), email addresses, names of likely relatives and associates, marriage and divorce records, property ownership records, court and criminal records, bankruptcy and lien records, and social-media profile links when matched. Free-tier teasers show name, age, and city; the full record sits behind a per-report or subscription paywall.

Conditionally. PeopleFinders only processes opt-out requests from residents of states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws, about 19 states as of May 2026 (California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Delaware, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland, Rhode Island, Indiana, Kentucky). Residents of the other 31 states + DC receive a rejection email stating "the person identified in your request lives in a state that does not have a comprehensive consumer privacy law that applies to our data." The flow at peoplefinders.com/opt-out runs to 4 steps, starting with (1) click the green Next button on the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" page; (2) check email and click the verification link from support@peoplefinders.com within 24 hours; (3) fill out the Record Suppression Form with full personal details; (4) receive the determination email. If approved, 3-day removal SLA. If rejected, an appeal path exists. Cite the specific state statute. Phone: (800) 718-8997. See our PeopleFinders removal guide for the full walkthrough.

PeopleFinders claims removal within 3 days of accepting a valid Record Suppression Form. In practice, most accepted records drop from the public search results within 3-7 days. The state-eligibility check is the gating factor. Residents of the ~19 states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws have a path; residents of the other 31 states + DC don't, and receive a rejection email. Re-listing can occur when the underlying PeopleFinders data backend refreshes from public-records sources. Annual re-submission is the standard maintenance cycle for eligible-state residents. For California residents, the CCPA gives a business 45 days to answer a deletion request, and it can extend that once.

PeopleFinders says it isn't a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and its Terms of Use bar using its data for employment screening, tenant screening, credit decisions, or insurance underwriting. The applicable framework is state-level privacy law, meaning CCPA/CPRA in California, plus the growing list of state comprehensive-privacy laws and state-specific data-broker registration regimes.
