Please kindly note that DeleteRecords does not own or operate the third party brand listed on this page. The information provided on this page is provided for reference purposes only.

MashPanel is a free background check service helpful in finding information on people residing in the United States of America. The site also offers company lookup services to help locate registered companies across the fifty states. MashPanel's service is not compliant with the Fair Credit and Reporting Act (FCRA); therefore, no record obtained from the site should be used to measure one's eligibility for credit, housing, insurance, and other related FCRA matters. MashPanel's records are sourced from publicly available data.

Visitors to the MashPanel website can use its people and company search tools to view public information about an individual or registered business. People searches can be done using an individual's first name, last name, and state. Meanwhile, individuals can start a company search by entering a company's name and operating state into the site's company search tool. Users can obtain the name, phone number, and address of a company or person based in the U.S. from both tools.

The site also has a state-based directory for people and companies, sorted alphabetically and according to states.

Note that MashPanel does not display details such as date of birth, social insurance number, or mother's maiden name. It only reveals information found in phone books.

Besides providing public records to interested persons, search websites like MashPanel typically collect data from visitors to enhance user experience and marketing efforts. For example:

  • Information entered into the website by users when searching for records
  • Data retrieved from cookies:
  • Web browser information
  • Web pages accessed before and after visiting the site
  • The user's IP address, which can offer geolocation information such as the country, state, and city of the individual

These websites may offer ways for users to opt-out of the data collection or prevent their data from being sold to third parties for marketing or other promotional uses. However, MashPanel does not provide any information about this.

Nevertheless, records listed on the MashPanel website can be removed without charge by their owners.

How to Opt-Out of MashPanel

MashPanel's opt-out process is manual. Individuals who do not want their personal or company records to be viewed by other people can use these steps to remove a record from the website:

  1. Visit www.mashpanel.com using your computer web browser or smartphone.
  2. Click the "search" button at the top right-hand corner of the menu bar.
  3. Enter your first name, last name, state, or company name and state, to locate the record you want to delist.
  4. Select the record on the search results page by clicking the name on the record.
  5. Click "Delete" to complete the removal process.

Once clicked, the record will be removed from the website immediately and will no longer be available to searchers. An individual's name may still show up when searched, in some cases, but the information will be deleted within two weeks. The availability of records on the site after removal is because search engines may keep a cached version of the page for some days.

Services such as MashPanel may share or sell the information they collect from users with third parties. MashPanel does not state whether it does either of these. However, users with privacy concerns can reach out to MashPanel via a contact form, by phone at (007) 123-456, or mail to:
