How to delete your FastPeopleSearch account
FastPeopleSearch is a free people-search site visually similar to TruePeopleSearch but operated by a separate company. It exposes the same kind of public records data — current and previous addresses, phone numbers, relatives, age, and associated email addresses — on a free, no-paywall page. FastPeopleSearch is one of the most-cited people-search sites in doxxing incidents because of how easy it is for anyone to retrieve full contact data.

FastPeopleSearch deletion FAQs
Is FastPeopleSearch the same as TruePeopleSearch?
No. They look similar and offer similar data, but they're separate companies with separate databases. Opting out of one has no effect on the other. Submit a removal request to each independently.
How long does FastPeopleSearch take to process a removal?
Typically 24–72 hours after you click the email verification link. Google search results may show your old listing for additional weeks until Google recrawls.
Why does FastPeopleSearch show data I never published?
FastPeopleSearch buys data from public records (voter rolls, property records, court filings, marriage records), commercial data brokers, and credit-header data feeds. None of this requires you to have published anything online — the data flows from offline records into FastPeopleSearch's index.
Can I get FastPeopleSearch to suppress data about my minor children?
Yes. Email [email protected] explicitly stating you are a parent or legal guardian and that the listing concerns a minor under 18. Include proof of relationship. FastPeopleSearch typically expedites minor-child removals.
How do I know FastPeopleSearch took my data down?
Visit your old listing URL — it should return 404 or an opt-out confirmation message. Also search your name on the homepage to confirm no listing appears. Allow Google up to 4 weeks to drop the cached snippet.
Does the opt-out cost money?
No, it's free. Be skeptical of third-party 'paid removal' services that charge for the same free flow. Paid privacy services (DeleteMe, Scrub, Kanary) are worth it ONLY if they cover the long tail of 50+ brokers and re-submit when records reappear.
