Truepeoplesearch Privacy Risks and How to Remove Your Personal Data
They scrape and aggregate your personal data:
TruePeopleSearch compiles information from multiple public-facing and commercial sources. These include government‑public records (such as property deeds, court filings, voter rolls), third‑party data vendors, and other websites. The data is then linked together (names to phone numbers to addresses to associates) to build searchable profiles.
They engage in automatic data harvesting:
In addition to collecting static records, TruePeopleSearch uses automated methods such as search‑engine crawling, social‑media scraping, telecom/phone‑directory lists, and vendor data sharing. These automated flows enable frequent updates, meaning even after removal your data could be re‑ingested.
Opting out is possible, but removal is difficult:
Although a manual opt‑out is possible (and often free), it is time‑consuming, must be repeated for each listing, and offers no guarantee of permanency because the underlying data sources refresh and can re‑list you
