CheckPeople.com is a California-based data broker site that has been in operation for over 20 years. The site uses a proprietary algorithm to compile data from a wide array of online sources, including but not limited to databases, social media profiles, and public records. It then compiles all this data into a single report on the individual in question.
Therefore, members of the site can access the reports and carry out comprehensive background searches on other people by keying in their names.
