Run a background check on yourself at Instant Checkmate, and you definitely won’t like what you see! Every bit of your personal information is being exposed. Your address, your kids’ names, your financial history, your driving offenses, even your criminal record (if you have one). It’s all on public display!

And the scary thing is, it’s not just InstantCheckmate. There are hundreds of people search websites and data brokers out there publishing this sort of information.

Fortunately, there are ways to remove it. This post shows you exactly how to opt out of InstantCheckmate…

We’ve found DeleteMe to be the all-in-one data deletion you’d need.

DeleteMe is arguably the most trusted opt-out privacy solution available. With just one click, it enables you to remove all your personal info from hundreds of people finder and data broker websites, and protect your online privacy.
