Watch out for
- PrivateRecords.net runs more than one site. Its California filing also lists peoplesearch123.com, backgroundcheckers.net and personsearchers.com, so check each one for a listing.
- The filing says the company isn't regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, so a request goes through its privacy process, not a credit-report dispute.

Your rights
PrivateRecords.net is on the California data broker registry as Private Records LLC. California residents can also file one deletion request for all registered brokers through the state's DROP system.
California: CCPA. If you live in California, the CCPA lets you ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you and to stop selling or sharing it. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond.
California: the Delete Act. Data brokers that hold information on Californians must register with the state. California residents can use DROP, the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, to send one deletion request to every registered broker at once.
Other US states. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and a growing list of other states give residents a similar right to delete. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also make data brokers register with the state. Where no state law applies, the broker's own opt-out above still works for most people.
General information, not legal advice.
