CheckSecrets Privacy Risks and How to Remove Your Personal Data
They scrape and aggregate your personal data:
CheckSecrets pulls together public records (addresses, phone numbers, court filings), social media entries, and other publicly available data sources.
They engage in automatic data harvesting:
They use cookies and web beacons to track browsing behaviour and link that to profiles they build online.
Opting out is possible, but removal is difficult:
Once your data is published on CheckSecrets it can be mirrored or republished by other brokers. Manual removal can take multiple submissions, and your profile can reappear. Using a service like mePrism helps coordinate removal across multiple brokers and monitor ongoing exposure.
