A NEW ONLINE USA phone book, Spokeo.com, has collected lots of personal information about you. They've got everything from photos you've posted on Facebook or the web, your credit score, photos of where you live, your income, your age, your home address.But you can remove yourself by searching your name and then clicking on your name. A smaller window pops up. Go to the bottom of the smaller window and click on the Privacy link to remove yourself.
Once you put in your information and click, you will see a small sentence that tells you to check your email.
Go to your email and click on the "confirm" link. Within one day, you can check back and your information will be gone.
Citizen Warrior,
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us know about this. The Nerve of these people, posting our personal information online without our permission. Both me and my mom, had our profiles removed from the site. What makes it even worse, is that it looked like they were trying to sell some of it.
This is what came up when I attempted to clear out my info:
ReplyDeletePlease note that removing your Spokeo listing from public searches does not remove your information from the third-party data sources.
