Data search sites like Whitepages.com make it easy to find your personal information, putting your full name, address, phone number, email address and other personal details up for grabs and available to anyone for a small, one-time fee.
Not only does this give spammers and scammers instant access to sensitive personal data, it also provides anyone from identity thieves and disgruntled exes to long-forgotten enemies the opening they need to invade your personal privacy—and use your information against you and your family.
Removing your name and info from Whitepages is a good first step to protect your identity and peace of mind.
