UnMask
- Redact finds listings · manual opt-out
A free people-search site that said in August 2026 that its search is "powered by CheckPeople.com". California's data broker registry lists it under UnMask, LLC of Orlando, Florida, separately from CheckPeople's operator. It shows names, contact details, addresses, relatives, and criminal, court and property records. Its BBB profile carries a B- rating (not accredited) with 195 complaints in three years, and its opt-out is a Suppression Center that looks like CheckPeople's.

Our editorial assessment from public sources as of October 5, 2026, and our own opt-out testing as of August 11, 2026. Each dimension is scored 1 to 4, higher means more exposure, and the overall gauge is their average, unless a confirmed breach holds it higher. It is an opinion, not a finding about the company's conduct or legal compliance. Dimensions marked "Editorial estimate" are estimated from the kind of service offered rather than observed on this site. How we score
What each dimension means
- Data published: how much and how sensitive the personal data they put out.
- Re-listing frequency: how quickly you reappear after opting out.
- Complaint record: the volume and pattern of complaints across BBB, Trustpilot, and Sitejabber. No listing, or a listing with no reviews, counts against the broker.
- Opt-out friction: how hard the removal process is to complete.
- Operator opacity: how hidden the operating company and its principals are.
- Prior data incidents: history of breaches or leaks of the data they hold.

The CheckPeople relationship matters most when you try to leave. UnMask's Suppression Center looks like CheckPeople's, in its own colours, and it asks for the same things, which are an email address, a birthdate and a legal name. Because the two file with California as separate companies, plan on sending a request to each.
The BBB profile is the most documented outside record. The Orlando BBB filing carries a B- letter rating without accreditation, classifies the business as "Searchers of Records", and shows 195 complaints filed against the business in the last 3 years. The BBB profile was created June 13, 2023. The named contact on file is generic ("Customer Service Manager") and not a specific individual.
How UnMask answers BBB removal complaints. In its BBB responses, UnMask's usual reply to data-removal complaints is that the company aggregates from publicly available sources and therefore "has no ability to edit or remove the content listed on your report." The opt-out form below is still the route to suppressing a listing.
The CheckPeople settlement is worth knowing about. The Gaul v. CheckPeople, LLC Illinois Right of Publicity Act class action settled for $2.6 million in October 2024, over alleged use of Illinois residents' identifying data to advertise paid subscriptions. It named CheckPeople, LLC, not UnMask, though UnMask said in August 2026 that its search is powered by CheckPeople. See the CheckPeople profile for the case.

Where the data comes from: UnMask said in August 2026 that its search is powered by CheckPeople.com, and it doesn't otherwise name its sources. Records like these typically come from US public-records sources (state and county court filings, property records, voter registration files, marriage and divorce records, professional-licensing boards, criminal-justice records) plus third-party people-data aggregator feeds.
Sealed or expunged cases can still show up. People-search records can lag behind court orders, so a case a court has since sealed may still appear on a listing. Take a dated screenshot of it before you ask for removal.

FAQ
Q & A
Is UnMask a data broker?
Yes. UnMask.com is a free people-search site that shows full names, aliases, phone numbers, email addresses, current and previous addresses, relatives and associates, criminal records, court records, property ownership records, professional license records, and social media account links. The BBB classifies the business under "Searchers of Records", and UnMask, LLC is on California's data broker registry. It said in August 2026 that its search is powered by CheckPeople.com.
Who owns UnMask?
California's data broker registry lists the operator as UnMask, LLC of Orlando, Florida. UnMask said in August 2026 that its search is powered by CheckPeople, whose operator, CheckPeople, LLC, files separately from another Orlando address. The Orlando BBB profile for UnMask was created June 13, 2023 and lists only a "Customer Service Manager" as contact.
What information does UnMask publish?
Per-record fields published on UnMask include full name and aliases, age, current and previous addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, names of likely relatives and associates, criminal records, court records, property ownership records, professional license records, and social media account links when matched. UnMask said in August 2026 that its search is powered by CheckPeople.com, and it doesn't otherwise name its sources.
Can I remove myself from UnMask?
You can opt out, through its Suppression Center at unmask.com/opt-out. That suppresses your listing and stops UnMask selling or sharing it, without deleting the record. It takes an email address, a birthdate that's permanent once saved, and your legal name, then shows the records that match for you to select. We walked it up to that search on August 11, 2026. If it finds nothing for a listing you can see, write to compliance@unmask.com, which UnMask, LLC gave California as its privacy address. CheckPeople has to be done separately. Our UnMask removal guide shows each screen.
How long does UnMask take to remove information?
UnMask doesn't state one that we've seen. UnMask, LLC's California filing reports a 1-day median for the opt-out requests it handled in 2024, which is the company's own number.
Is UnMask covered by FCRA?
UnMask says it isn't a consumer reporting agency, so by its own account its reports aren't for FCRA-covered decisions such as employment screening, tenant screening, credit decisions, or insurance underwriting. For privacy requests, state laws such as the CCPA and CPRA in California are the relevant ones.
Take yourself off data broker sites
Redact scans data broker sites from your device. The free scan shows which of your details are exposed but hides which broker lists you; Premium and Ultimate show where each listing is. Redact checks UnMask for your listing. Removal here is a manual step. Premium and Ultimate submit removals for most other brokers Redact covers.
The ownership and opt-out material now follows the August 11, 2026 walk and California's data broker registry, read on October 5, which lists UnMask, LLC as the operator. unmask.com put a human check in front of our October recheck, so the site itself wasn't read again. The rest of the profile was researched in May 2026.
Opt-out last verified August 11, 2026.
