When you come across personal information such as a postal address, family member’s name, personal account information, or social media posts naming you and your family on the Internet—and you are bound to—it is time to start opting out of online public records databases. There are hundreds of online vendors whose sole business is aggregating public records. In blog post, you will find the leading vendors in the public records business and the information needed to opt out of their service. In the event you find your personal data on other public records sites, start by searching the site for “opt out” or “data privacy,” often located at the bottom of the Website’s first page next to the legal statements. Because of the GDPR and other national and international laws, most Websites offer an easy online removal request form.
