Open‑Public‑Records Privacy Risks and How to Remove Your Personal Data
They scrape and aggregate your personal data:
Open‑Public‑Records.com collects publicly accessible records from courts, government agencies, and other public record repositories. These include civil and criminal court filings, bankruptcy and judgment records, property records and other legal or government disclosures. They aggregate the information into a searchable directory that links to state‐by‐state or county‐by‐county resource pages.
They engage in automatic data harvesting:
While much of the dataset is drawn from external public sources, the site uses people‐search tools (powered by BeenVerified) to augment their listings. This suggests integration with API or external database services that compile names, addresses, and related public‐record links.
Opting out is possible, but removal is difficult:
Even if you submit an opt‑out request, your records may reside in multiple places and may recur due to automatic re‐aggregation. The site may require legal documentation (e.g., expungement orders) for removal of court records. Using a dedicated service like mePrism helps you monitor multiple brokers, manage removal requests systematically, and keep track of re‑appearances over time.
