How does Spokeo get information?

 

Spokeo receives data from many sources including public records and mailing lists, surveys, social media profiles, and more. Spokeo's database includes standard contact information similar to that offered by other search companies, but we also curate unique data sets.

 

Spokeo states the search 100+ social media sites to collect your information including:

 

Is Spokeo credible?

 

Spokeo is a legitimate information-gathering site. Spokeo takes the hassle out of searching for public information and compiles it into a single profile. Spokeo offers a secure and private way to search for information. Like similar services, it has been criticized for listing the personal information of unwitting individuals online and making a profit from the exploitation of that data. 

 

In 2012, Spokeo was slapped with an $800,000 fine by the Federal Trade Commission for alleged deception and violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Acting as a credit reporting agency triggered the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which includes a list of legal obligations, such as giving consumers a process to challenge incorrect information, for example. Spokeo did not comply with them, according to the FTC.

 

Can I get my info removed from Spokeo?

 

Spokeo addresses listings and provides a complete overview of the property including historical and public records. Spokeo states on their website that they are unable to remove the entire listing. They will, however, respect your online privacy and can remove any names that are associated with an address. 

How do I stop my name from appearing on Google?

 

You can prevent your name from appearing in search results from these places by making sure that your profiles aren’t visible to search engines. Make sure all social media profiles are private. If your profile was public already, it is too late.

 

You have successfully opted out of Spokeo. The website states that you should allow 24-48hrs for the website to reflect these changes. 

 

Spokeo will then instruct their partner sites not to display your name in their results as well. You are one step closer to online privacy. Once you have completed the Spokeo opt-out process, there are 100+ websites that still collect and display your information on the internet. To opt out of all data brokers and receive monthly monitoring and privacy reporting, NewReputation is ready to help.
