IDTrue Opt Out & Data Removal Guide

IDTrue is one of hundreds of data brokers that scrape the internet, aggregating millions of public records. These companies collect and then sell your personal details to third parties, from governmental entities to that former flame that won’t take “it’s over” for an answer.

With IDTrue, the scary aspect is that anybody can gain access to your personal information without you knowing. This personal information includes phone numbers, email addresses, social media accounts, current and former addresses, and even marriage records. Having such private data so easily available online can put you at risk of falling victim to cybercrime.

That is why you should opt out of companies like IDTrue and other sites that collect your data, especially for security purposes, thus minimizing the possibility of being targeted by scammers and cybercriminals. 

Below you can go step by step through the process of sending a removal request to IDTrue. This will bring you closer to taking back control of your personal information online.

Opt-out process:  5 – 10 minutes
