    All my personal information is available online including an earth map of my home location with my full name. I've tried to use the site several times to remove it but as expected, does not work. I've tried to contact them and have been immediately responded to by a generic bot generated message.

    I went on their site and I wasnt happy with all the personal information they have collected on me. Ive tried numerous times to opt out and have my information removed from their site. I filled out the form several times and it keeps going back to the same form. Ive emailed them but it goes back to the form again. Ive sent them a letter a couple weeks ago about opting out but no response. I only have an iPhone and Im legally deaf. I only do well by texting. My entire whole life history is on their site. Id like this removed. I dint know what more I can do. ******** **********

    My credit rating is over 800 so its not a credit issue.  There are people I know that dont know about where Ive lived, my work history, and what I pay for my home. ***. I consider it an invasion of my privacy. If I wanted to tell people about my life Id tell them. Im a very private person and I live alone and Im deaf, plus im 78 years old.

    True people search, is divulging personal information online. This is a threat to privacy and the safety of my family. I have been a victim of human trafficking, and stalking. This is not ok, they could probably be getting paid by assassins.
