How to remove yourself from SmartBackgroundChecks

Steps

1. Open the opt-out page. Enter your name and an email address and complete the captcha.
2. Open the email they send and click the link within 24 hours (it can take a while to arrive). If it expires, request a new one.
3. Fill in the form so it matches the listing you want removed, and confirm you're the person in it.
4. Look for the confirmation page and email. They say removal can take up to 3 days.

Afterward

Mark it as requested in your tracker. Once it's gone, search smartbackgroundchecks.com for your name again in about 3 months: sites like this re-list people when new records come in.

Still showing in Google?

Once your listing is gone, Google can keep showing the old result, with your details in the preview, until it visits the page again. To speed that up, right-click the result, choose Copy Link Address, and paste the link into Google's free Refresh Outdated Content tool. It works once the page itself is gone.
