The site calls itself PrivateRecords and says it started in 2020, the year Private Records LLC was formed in Florida. That LLC is the company its contact page names, and it's the company on California's data-broker registry, where privaterecords.net heads a filing that covers three more sites.
The mailing address on the site's contact page reads Private Records LLC, ATTN: PrivateRecords, 1317 Edgewater Dr #1255 in Orlando, and California's current registry gives the same company and address. Its filing lists privaterecords.net first, then PeopleSearch123, Background Checkers and Person Searchers. A year earlier the 2025 registry file listed privaterecords.net alone.
The link to MC2 Data, LLC runs through the BBB. Its file on Private Records LLC gives PrivateRecords and MC2 Data, LLC as alternate names, both companies' profiles show the same main phone number, and the same customer-support manager appears on each. MC2 Data's own profile names PrivateRecords as its alternate name, not the LLC. That's the BBB's linkage rather than a corporate filing, and no filing we can cite says who controls either company.
The database behind the site leaked in 2024. In August that year the researcher JayeLTee found it open with no password, holding background-check records on more than 100 million people and 2.3 million customer accounts, each record tagged to one of fifteen brands. privaterecords.net was first on his list, the data was full of links to it, and its support address was one of the two he wrote to before the server was closed within hours. Cybernews reported the same database on September 20, 2024, counted 106,316,633 records, and named PrivateRecords.net first among the sites MC2 Data operates. MC2 Data, LLC withdrew its Florida registration on October 4, 2024, about four weeks after the leak went public, and PrivateRecords carried on trading.
