    Remove your personal info from the top 7 people search sites without charge

    People search sites make money by collecting and selling personal information. This repository can include your name, address, date of birth, gender, marital status, family members, social media profiles, education levels, property records, financial records, phone numbers, police records, employment information, and more.

    The sites scrape this information from local, state, and federal public records, along with court records, social media, online forums, and other sources. Some also purchase information from data brokers.

    Data brokers are loosely regulated at best, and there’s no law to prevent them from collecting and selling publicly available information.
