Public Data Check

Yes. Public Data Check is a subscription people-search service run by National Data Analytics, LLC, which has registered with California's Privacy Protection Agency as a data broker every cycle since 2025. It sells five search products - people, property, reverse phone, vehicle, and social media - on a claimed 350 million people records, behind a $1 trial that converts to $29.96 a month.

National Data Analytics, LLC of Goleta, California - the entity named in the site's own privacy policy, its footer, and its CPPA registrations. No founder or executive is publicly named, and the one individual on the BBB record holds a support-department title rather than an ownership role. The company is closely tied to Scalable Commerce LLC (Kids Live Safe, Quick Public Records) through joint litigation, shared opt-out infrastructure, and that shared BBB principal, but no corporate filing we can cite documents common ownership.

No. National Public Data - the brand behind the widely reported 2024 breach - was operated by Jerico Pictures, Inc. of Florida, an entirely different company. Public Data Check is run by National Data Analytics, LLC of Goleta, California, and we found no breach report naming it. It's also unrelated to publicdata.com, publicdatausa.com, and the MC2 Data network.

Through the Privacy Requests form in the help center. Leave the request type on Do Not Sell My Info, which is what suppresses a listing. Switching to Delete My Info only reaches a subscriber's account data and leaves a public record up. The form takes first name, last name, city, state, ZIP and age, matched to the listing, then sends a code to type and, after you've pressed Remove on your record, a link the site says is good for 60 minutes. Miss it and nothing is filed. Public Data Check says removals land at the next database update, usually inside 24 hours, and its registry filing shows a three-day median. The screens are in the Public Data Check removal guide.

The $1.00 seven-day trial converts to the full $29.96 monthly subscription exactly seven days after registration, and it renews until canceled. Cancel by phone at 1-800-950-0953, by email, or online; refunds are case-by-case per the terms, and the terms give you only 30 days to dispute a charge, so move quickly. One BBB complainant reports attempted $39.96 charges - an amount not in the current terms - so check your statement closely either way, and dispute with your card issuer if support won't resolve it.

Its privacy policy says "Except as described herein, We do NOT sell or share your personal information with third parties," with a carve-out for targeted advertising. The company's own current CPPA registry filing, meanwhile, reports 140,857 requests to opt out of sale or sharing in one reporting year, 39,491 of them denied. However you square those statements, the opt-out channel exists and is heavily used. One form handles both request types, but they aren't interchangeable - Do Not Sell My Info is the one that suppresses a public listing, while Delete My Info is for account holders removing their own account data.

No. The site disclaims being a consumer reporting agency in its footer, its Terms of Use, and a dedicated FCRA page, so its reports legally can't be used for credit, insurance, employment, or tenant screening - the FCRA page specifically bars vetting babysitters, nannies, cleaning personnel, and contractors, and "any other personal business transaction with another individual." That doesn't change what a report reveals about you to whoever buys one, which is why removal is still worth doing.
