Don’t let your personal information be exploited

There are an estimated 4,000 data brokers in the world today. These companies aggregate and sell or publish your personal information for profit – often without your knowledge and at your expense. 

  • Marketing data brokers collect information about your browsing habits, past purchases, and interests and sell it to third parties for targeted marketing campaigns.
  • Recruitment data brokers use personal information to offer background screening services to HR departments. 
  • Risk mitigation brokers collect a range of background information to provide assessment reports to various investment and business companies.
  • People search brokers offer users personal information searches to look up contact details and background information. 
  • Financial information brokers collect personal finance and background information to help credit companies and banks calculate your credit score.

Aside from endless spam and robocalls, websites that give your personal information to strangers expose you to higher risks of scams, identity theft, digital redlining, online harassment, and even stalking. Protect your online privacy and safety by removing your personal information from the internet.
