How to remove your record from FastPeopleSearch

FastPeopleSearch is a people-search site. Its Privacy Notice says it obtains personal information from publicly available information, data that a consumer has lawfully made public, and data suppliers. It discloses that data through its products to customers who search for records about themselves or other people. The site's footer states that it is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and cannot be used for employment, credit or tenant screening.

The removal process lives at fastpeoplesearch.com/optout, a page titled Opt-Out Request Start. The footer link named Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information leads to a notice that points to the same form. The start page asks for three things: your first and last name (a middle name is optional), an email address, and a completed CAPTCHA. It does not ask for a listing URL, an account or an identity document. The Privacy Notice adds that opt-out requests do not require identity verification.

You can also ask someone else to file for you. The form has a choice between the subject of the request and an authorized agent of the subject. An authorized agent is a person or company you have given permission to act for you. If an agent files, the link goes to the agent's email address, and the site says the confirmation of processing is sent to both the agent and the subject. The Privacy Notice says FastPeopleSearch may ask an agent for a signed authorization from you.

This guide describes FastPeopleSearch's removal page and Privacy Notice as published on 16 October 2026. Companies change their forms and policies, so check the page itself if something looks different. UltoPulto is pre-launch and has not yet processed live requests through this form; the steps below are the ones FastPeopleSearch publishes.

1. 1.Search for your name on FastPeopleSearch and note what the record shows: the name, the age, the current and past addresses. You will need the form to match it.
2. 2.Go to fastpeoplesearch.com/optout. Choose The subject of this request, enter your first and last name and an email address you can read today, and complete the CAPTCHA.
3. 3.Tick the certification box. It says you authorize the site to email you about the request, that you are the subject or an authorized agent, and that the details you give will be used only to process the request. Click Submit.
4. 4.Open the email from FastPeopleSearch and click the link. The site says the email may take some time to arrive, and that the link must be used within 24 hours or you will need to request a new one.
5. 5.Fill in the opt-out form. The site says the details should match the information on the record you want removed, and that leaving fields blank or entering inaccurate details will slow the process.
6. 6.Submit the form. You should see a confirmation page saying the request was received and is being processed, and you should receive a confirmation email. Keep that email and write down the date.

FastPeopleSearch says to allow 3 days for a record to be fully removed from the site. After that, search your name again. If the record is still there, repeat the steps; the site's own note says incomplete or inaccurate form entries are the usual cause of delay. The Privacy Notice also gives a telephone route for opt-outs, (866) 679-8725, if the form does not work for you.

FastPeopleSearch's Privacy Notice and its Notice of Right to Opt-Out both describe the opt-out in the same way. The company says its products use publicly available information, including public records, which it says is not covered by US state privacy laws. When you request an opt-out, it says it will try to apply the request to that publicly available information as a courtesy. It then sets out the limits. The request does not remove the data from its original source, so your information may still appear on other websites or through other services. And because the site regularly receives new public records, your information may appear in its products again after you have opted out. The company recommends refreshing the opt-out request periodically.

The Privacy Notice separates two kinds of request. The opt-out form is for opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information, which is how the site handles listing removals. Requests to know, delete or correct personal information go through a different page, the Privacy Request page at fastpeoplesearch.com/privacy-rights, or the same telephone number. Those requests do go through identity verification: the site says it matches two or three of the details you provide against the information it holds. The notice also says you may have a right to appeal a decision on a request, through the same page or number.

The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) describes people-search sites in general the same way. It says you can opt out yourself, one site at a time, for free. After an opt-out, the site stops selling your existing information, but your details may still appear in reports about relatives, neighbours or associates, and your information can be offered for sale again if your public records change. Opting out does not delete anything from government public records. The FTC suggests checking sites periodically and opting out again when needed. FastPeopleSearch is one site among many; the data broker checklist lists the others that commonly carry the same details.

FastPeopleSearch's Notice of Right to Opt-Out says it applies to residents of US states with comprehensive privacy laws, and names California, Oregon and Texas as examples. The opt-out form itself does not ask where you live, and the site's own description of the process does not vary by state. What a state law adds is a formal right to know, delete or correct personal information, with verification and an appeal route, as described above. The California deletion guide explains how those requests work.

California residents have a second route. The state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP) is free and sends one deletion request to every registered data broker. You file with your name, date of birth and ZIP code. Brokers have been required to process requests since 1 August 2026, a status can take up to 90 days to appear, and brokers must re-check for new matching data at least every 45 days. The state's guidance says brokers are not required to delete publicly available data, data covered by a legal exemption, or data you gave a business directly. Since FastPeopleSearch describes its listings as publicly available information, treat a DROP request as a complement to the site's own opt-out, not a replacement.

Whatever route you use, keep the record you made in step 6. The date, the name and email you entered, and the confirmation email show what you asked for and when. If the record comes back, file again and add the new date to the same note. That history is what you will need if you later file a complaint or use a state privacy law.
