SearchPeopleFree.com is a people-search site operated by Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC (Sacramento, California). The same LLC also runs nine sibling sites: AdvancedBackgroundChecks.com, CyberBackgroundChecks.com, FastBackgroundCheck.com, FastPeopleSearch.com, PeopleSearchNow.com, Phonebooks.com, SmartBackgroundChecks.com, USA-People-Search.com, and USPhoneBook.com. All 10 share one back-end database. The LLC reported 0 completed consumer deletions in its 2024 California data-broker filing.
Step-by-step: How to remove yourself from SearchPeopleFree
- Step 1: Find your listing. Go to searchpeoplefree.com in an incognito tab. Search your full name and state. Copy the URL of any matching profile.
- Step 2: Use their opt-out form. Navigate to the removal/opt-out section on SearchPeopleFree and paste your listing URL. Enter your email address and submit.
💡 Tip: Because all 10 sibling sites share the same operator, submit the same request on FastPeopleSearch, USPhoneBook, AdvancedBackgroundChecks, and SmartBackgroundChecks simultaneously, otherwise those surfaces remain live.
- Step 3: Confirm via email. Check your inbox and click the verification link. This finalises the removal, skipping this step means the record is not removed.
- Step 4: Send a parent-level DSAR. For the most complete removal, email the DSAR contact registered by Mississippi Tornado Alley, LLC in the California data-broker registry. Cite California Civil Code § 1798.105 and request deletion across all affiliated properties by name.
Removal timeline

| SearchPeopleFree opt-out form only | 7–14 days |
| All 10 sibling sites simultaneously | 7–21 days |

What to do if the removal fails
If your record is still live after 45 days, file a complaint with the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) at cppa.ca.gov. The LLC's 0-deletion record in 2024 suggests enforcement pressure is the fastest path to compliance.
