CheckPeople Privacy Risks and How to Remove Your Personal Data
They scrape and aggregate your personal data:
CheckPeople aggregates from public records (property, court filings, bankruptcy), directories, social media, and web‑indexed sources. They compile large profiles by grouping information about you, your relatives, your address history and contact details.
They engage in automatic data harvesting:
Their system uses scraping of online databases, APIs or open directories, and cross‑linking of names, addresses and associates. They don’t rely only on user‑provided data but harvest from publicly accessible sources.
Opting out is possible, but removal is difficult:
While you can submit an opt‑out request, your data may reappear because of continuous harvesting and reselling. Removal is not permanent or guaranteed. Automatic monitoring services help you track re‑appearances and request removal proactively.
