TruthRecord Privacy Risks and How to Remove Your Personal Data
They scrape and aggregate your personal data:
TruthRecord aggregates large volumes of public records (court cases, criminal filings, property records, addresses) together with other third‑party‑purchased datasets to build profiles of individuals.
They engage in automatic data harvesting:
Their privacy policy indicates they use cookies and web‑beacons to capture browsing behaviour and web‑page addresses visited, adding a layer of online‑activity tracking to the profile they build.
Opting out is possible, but removal is difficult:
Because TruthRecord pulls data from numerous sources, both public and private, and because profiles can re‑populate after removal, the process of fully extricating your personal data is complex and time‑consuming. That makes using a dedicated service like mePrism useful to monitor, assist with removal and track re‑listings over time.
Companies like TruthRecord are selling your data right now.
Most data brokers make opting out difficult or impossible. We locate your exposed data, remove it, and continue monitoring as new brokers are added.
