How to Opt Out of ArrestFacts (2026 Step-by-Step Guide)

ArrestFacts is a recorded arrest- or criminal-record search target, but its current brand, operator, result scope and removal route are not established by the old domain alone. During the August 25, 2026 review, `arrestfacts.com` redirected to `nkreeger.com`, while the recorded contact path redirected to `rain-street.org`; it was not possible to verify that either destination handles every legacy ArrestFacts listing. This guide does not assume that ArrestFacts publishes every arrest, every booking photo, every disposition or any particular turnaround time.

An arrest, charge, filing or booking record is not the same as a conviction. A broker result can also be incomplete, outdated or attached to the wrong person. Treat it as a lead that requires comparison with the authoritative record—not as a verified statement about someone.

Key takeaways

• Save the exact result URL and record details before submitting a request.
• Verify the final operator and privacy/removal route after any redirect; do not rely on an email address or fixed process copied from an old article.
• A broker removal request does not seal, expunge, correct or delete the court, police or jail source record.
• If the result is wrong, the source correction and broker request are separate workflows.
• Do not upload a government ID or court order unless the verified route explains why it is needed and how it is protected.
• A provider confirmation establishes only the scope stated in that confirmation.

Read the listing carefully

Before requesting anything, record:

1. the exact result URL;
2. the name, location and date shown;
3. the event label used by the page—arrest, booking, charge, filing, disposition or conviction; and
4. any source, case or booking identifier.

Check for namesakes and missing dispositions. A page that displays an arrest without a later dismissal or acquittal can create a misleading impression, but the remedy depends on whether the source itself is incomplete or the broker merely failed to update its copy.

Step-by-step request workflow

1. Find the live first-party route

Open the recorded ArrestFacts domain only to inspect the current redirect and locate a privacy policy, removal form or consumer-rights page for the final operator. Confirm that the final domain and notice actually address the legacy listing before entering information. If the route is unavailable or the brand relationship is unclear, record that fact and do not infer coverage from the redirect.

2. Submit the minimum matching information

The live route may ask for the profile URL, name, location, email verification or other details. The provider's current form controls. Do not use an old article's fixed email address, processing time or required-ID list as if it were current.

If identity documents or a court order are requested, review the purpose, retention and secure-upload instructions. Redact unrelated information where allowed. Do not send sensitive documents to an unverified mailbox.

3. Save the evidence

Keep the request URL, date, selected request type, confirmation number and provider email. A receipt proves submission, not completion.

4. Recheck the exact result

Use the provider's stated response point if one is published. If not, follow up through the same official route after a reasonable interval. Recheck the exact URL and note whether the page is removed, changed, redirected or still live. Search engines can retain an older result after a source page changes.

Arrest record, court record and broker record are different

Removing a page from ArrestFacts does not change the record held by a police department, jail, court, state repository or other source. If the underlying record is inaccurate, ask the agency that created it about its correction process. If a court has issued a sealing or expungement order, check what the order covers and how the source agency implements it.

The effect of an expungement, sealing order, dismissal or acquittal differs by jurisdiction and record type. Some legal processes restrict a source record without automatically reaching private copies. Do not promise that a broker must remove a record—or that a record is legally erased everywhere—without checking the applicable law and order.

Mugshot and image issues

If a page includes an image, identify whether it came from a public source, a court filing or another website. A broker request may address its own display, not the original image. Ask the source publisher separately when you have a lawful basis to request a change. Do not pay an unaffiliated intermediary merely because it promises a guaranteed removal.

Privacy-law scope

Access, deletion, correction and opt-out rights vary by location, business, purpose, thresholds and exceptions. California residents can consult the California Attorney General's CCPA guidance and current CPPA data-broker guidance. Other residents should use the current law and regulator for their own facts.

An arrest-related result may involve public-record, consumer-reporting, biometric, safety or other legal questions. Do not label a provider's conduct unlawful based only on a result page. If an employment, housing, credit or insurance decision used a report, identify the actual report and decision process before seeking advice.

What to do if the request is ignored

1. Follow up using the provider's published privacy route and include the reference.
2. Ask what product and result scope were addressed.
3. Submit a correction or source request to the relevant court or agency when the source is wrong.
4. Use a regulator or legal process only when the jurisdiction and facts fit.
5. Address other sites separately; there is no universal propagation guarantee.

Evidence matrix

Frequently asked questions

How long does ArrestFacts take to remove a listing?

No verified provider-published SLA is presented here. Follow the current route's response language and keep the evidence. Do not rely on a fixed three-to-seven-business-day promise.

Does a not-guilty result require removal?

Not automatically. The disposition is important context, but source-access rules, court orders, provider policy and applicable law determine the available remedy.

Does removing the page remove the arrest record?

No. It addresses the provider's copy, if completed. The source agency and other publishers remain separate.

Will Google remove the result automatically?

Not necessarily. First address the source page. If it is gone or materially changed, use the search engine's current removal or outdated-content process where appropriate.

Is an opt-out free?

Check the live first-party route. Do not assume a fee, no-fee policy or statutory obligation from an old guide, and do not pay an unaffiliated service for a guarantee.

Sources and verification boundary

Reviewed August 25, 2026:

• ArrestFacts home page — direct opening redirected to NKReeGer. The destination describes its own service and does not by itself establish current ArrestFacts ownership, legacy-listing coverage or removal outcome.
• ArrestFacts privacy pointer — direct opening redirected to NKReeGer's privacy policy, which describes an Information Control route for NKReeGer records; that is not proof that a legacy ArrestFacts record is covered.
• ArrestFacts contact pointer — direct opening redirected to Rain-Street's contact page. The redirect does not establish that the contact form handles every ArrestFacts listing or a removal request.
• FTC: What to know about people-search sites — supports general people-search public-record, provider-opt-out, related-listing and reappearance limits, not an ArrestFacts-specific inventory or outcome.
• CFPB: Consumer reporting companies — supports separating a qualifying consumer-report issue from a general online search result; it does not classify ArrestFacts for every product or use.
• California Attorney General: CCPA guidance and CPPA data-broker guidance — jurisdiction-specific rights, exclusions and DROP context; they do not establish that ArrestFacts or a redirect destination is covered or will accept a request.
• Google Search Help: Remove private information and Refresh Outdated Content — Search-result handling is separate from changing a provider page or source record.
• OfflistMe Privacy Policy — describes OfflistMe's browser-local request-drafting boundary, not provider effectiveness.

No ArrestFacts request was submitted. Current legacy-listing availability, operator, route, contact method, form fields, verification, eligibility, timing, suppression scope, redirect coverage and outcome remain unverified.

OfflistMe workflow boundary

OfflistMe can prepare a reviewable request draft for a catalog workflow. You verify the result, decide what to submit and send it from your own channel. A workflow record is not proof that ArrestFacts has your data, that the record is legally removable or that a request will succeed.
