Your legal footing
The right you are exercising
CheckPeople publishes its own opt-out (suppression) policy. This is the site's own commitment rather than a statutory right, but a request filed correctly through the form below removes your record from the public listing.
What this can do
Take your public CheckPeople listing down and, for a search tool, drop the result out of a name search. Filed correctly, the site is obliged to act on it.
What it cannot do
It does not erase news reporting, court filings or other lawful public records. Honesty about scope is the point: we never claim to delete something we cannot.
Why it comes back
CheckPeople re-ingests public records on a schedule, so a removed profile can return. The fix is to monitor and re-file, not to opt out once and hope.
