Having your name, address, or court records online can cause problems in your personal and professional life. The most common problem is called doxxing. 

In this article, we will discuss how your information ended up on GoLookup's public directory and how you can opt out of their website. 

Let’s begin!

What is Golookup and why does it matter?

Golookup.com is a popular public data aggregator that holds millions of records on its website.

Users are able to search a person’s criminal background, reverse phone number and email, and even search through unclaimed money and missing assets. 

Their website is currently rated 2.0 on Google with 102 customer reviews. (Not bad for a data broker) However, their BBB profile reveals they are far from a legit business. The most common complaint is regarding their unexpected charges. 

Golookup holds an extensive mugshot database and publishes them on its website. These mugshots and arrest records are publically available to users when they pay for a background check.
