Frequently asked questions
Which people-search sites do you cover?
Eight widely used sites: FastPeopleSearch, PeopleFinders, SearchPeopleFree, CyberBackgroundChecks, AdvancedBackgroundChecks, SmartBackgroundChecks, USPhonebook and BeenVerified. We find your listings, submit the opt-outs, handle the confirmation emails, and re-check every month.
How much does it cost?
$69 per year per person. You can add a spouse, parent or other household member with the family add-on for $39 per year for each extra person.
Will this stop all spam calls?
No service can promise that, and we won’t. Spam calls come from many sources, including data breaches, auto-dialers that call random numbers, and forms you’ve filled out over the years. Removing your number from people-search sites cuts off one common source and reduces how easily your number and address can be looked up.
Why do you re-check every month?
People-search sites refresh their data from public records and other sources, so a listing that was removed can show up again later. Monthly re-checks let us catch and remove those listings.
What information do you need from me?
Your full name, phone number(s), city, state and zip, and current address, so we can find the right listings. Some sites also require a date of birth to match your record; we use it only on those sites. We never ask for your Social Security number, passwords, or bank details.
How long do removals take?
Each site sets its own removal timing. Many process removals within a few days; some take several weeks. We follow up on anything still pending and re-check every month.
Do I have to do anything?
No. After you sign up and complete the intake form, we handle the searches, opt-out requests and confirmation emails on every site we cover. You just get the reports.
Is this legal? Am I giving you permission?
Yes. Opting out of people-search sites is your right, and these sites provide opt-out processes. During sign-up you’ll sign a short authorization allowing Foothills Privacy to submit removal requests on your behalf.
Does my plan renew automatically? How do I cancel?
Yes. Your plan renews automatically each year at $69 (plus $39 for each family add-on person), charged to the card you signed up with. We’ll email you a reminder at least 7 days before it renews. You can cancel anytime by emailing hello@foothillsprivacy.com so it won’t renew; your plan stays active through the end of the year you paid for. See our terms for details.
Are you a local Hickory business?
Yes. Foothills Privacy is locally owned in Hickory, NC, and serves Hickory, Newton, Conover, Maiden and all of Catawba County. Because the work is done online and by email, the service also works anywhere in the U.S. Reach out if you’re farther away.
