PeopleFinders.com Opt Out Guide

PeopleFinders is a leading service that helps people and businesses find detailed information about individuals, locations, and more in the United States. It is known to have one of the largest collections of public records in the country, which means they have information on almost every adult in the U.S. Essentially, PeopleFinders acts like a big database by gathering information from different sources. While PeopleFinders doesn't share much about where it gets its data, it's likely a mix of public records and information from social media sites that anyone can access. Many similar sites use the same strategies to collect information. So, why do people use PeopleFinders.com and similar sites? Supporters believe that these services can be helpful for some initial background checks. For example, if someone is hiring an employee, they might want to confirm that the candidate's resume is truthful.

Many people feel that they share too much information, and it's worrying how easily this information can be accessed by anyone.
