Protecting Your Privacy: How to Remove and Monitor Personal Information on Google Search
Personal information often ends up on people search sites due to data brokers collecting, analyzing, and selling personal information obtained from public records, online activity, and offline activity. Data brokers create detailed profiles of individuals by linking data from different sources. They sell or license this data to third parties for purposes such as people search, background checks, marketing, advertising, and risk mitigation. While there are limited ways to control or access your own data, investing in removal services and using Google's privacy tool can help protect your personal information. Additionally, using alias email addresses can safeguard your data from being exposed on people search sites.
