You’ve taken the steps to protect your privacy, but do you really know what information is available about you online?
No matter how careful you are, there’s bound to be something about you available online. If you have a driver’s license, a Social Security number or mortgage, at least some of your personal information is a part of the public record.
And if it’s in the public record, it can be looked up through a targeted search.
One public records search site, TruthFinder, crawls through hundreds of millions of public records daily. This site transforms all of your available personal data into one easy-to-read report. With just a few clicks, you can see what others can find when they search you. In this way, TruthFinder puts power back in your hands.Â
From state, federal and local databases to popular social media networks, any information available about you through public records can be collected into one convenient report. Armed with this data, you can take steps to protect your privacy online.
Previously, searching public records used to be a long and tedious task. However, TruthFinder has made it easy to learn more about what information is available about a person.
What can people find out about me online?
Your report may include the following data:
- Date of birth and astrological sign
- Personal phone number, as well as the carrier
- Email addresses, including old email addresses
- Current and prior addresses
- Job history
- Alma mater, as well as dates of graduation
- Links to social media profiles
- Criminal records
- Traffic violations
- Bankruptcy information
- Evictions
- And more
Basically, if it’s available in any public records, it could show up in your report. You might be surprised by what you find in your report. Maybe it includes a link to an old blog you forgot to delete, photos you didn’t realize were public, and email addresses that you forgot you had created.
Once you have this information, you can increase your privacy settings on social media accounts and delete old accounts you don’t want associated with your name.
