What is FastPeopleSearch?
As stated on their website, “FastPeopleSearch was created to bring next-generation Telephony and Big-Data access to the general public.” In reality, it is another people-search site that displays your personal data free of charge to anyone who looks you up. This includes your full name, date of birth, current and previous home addresses, relatives, and lots of other private details.
To remove yourself from FastPeopleSearch, you are required to submit an opt-out request on their website.

Open FastPeopleSearch.com, scroll all the way down, and click “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.”

Scroll to the “2. How to Opt Out” section and click the “Opt-Out Form” link.

Note that per FastPeopleSearch’s Privacy Policy, despite any request for removal of personal information, they may need to retain certain information for record-keeping purposes and there may also be residual information that will remain within their databases and other records, which will not be removed or changed. This means that while your listing will not show up after conducting a search of your name on FastPeopleSearch.com, they may still have some of your personal details within their databases.
