What CyberBackgroundChecks Collects
CyberBackgroundChecks is a people search and background check site that aggregates public records to display personal information including your name, current and previous addresses, date of birth, criminal records, mugshots, sex offender status, court records, and prior arrests. It operates similarly to other people search sites, sourcing data from public government databases and third-party data providers. Anyone can search for your criminal history, address history, or personal details without any legitimate need or oversight.

Important Notes
- Use a disposable/secondary email for the opt-out process — Optery and other privacy services recommend this to avoid your primary email being associated with your opt-out request.
- The email verification link expires in 24 hours — complete the process promptly.
- Data may repopulate if CyberBackgroundChecks re-collects your information from public sources.
- Cloudflare protection on the site may block automated access, but the URL is confirmed working via third-party verification services.
- This site is similar to other people search brokers — consider also removing your data from Instant Checkmate, TruthFinder, BeenVerified, and Intelius for comprehensive coverage.
