PeopleLooker Privacy Risks and How to Remove Your Personal Data
They scrape and aggregate your personal data:
PeopleLooker compiles large volumes of public records (court filings, property/ownership records, voter registrations), marketing data, and other publicly accessible sources. These data are then aggregated under searchable profiles by name, email, phone number or address.
They engage in automatic data harvesting:
The service also enables reverse‑lookups by email address, phone number, or username. It cross‑references data from social media, web scrapes, public documents and marketing lists, making automated queries possible.
Opting out is possible, but removal is difficult:
While PeopleLooker provides an opt‑out mechanism, removal is not always permanent, and your data may reappear via other brokers or new sources. Because of the scale and frequency of data rerouting, manually managing every broker is time‑consuming. Using a specialist service like mePrism helps streamline removal, monitor reappearance, and enforce ongoing suppression so you regain and keep more control over your personal data.
