People-Search Site
A subtype of data broker that offers public-facing search of individuals by name, phone, address, or email.
Full definition
People-search sites let users look up an individual by name or another identifier, returning aggregated records from public or commercial sources. Examples include Whitepages, Spokeo, TruePeopleSearch, FastPeopleSearch, BeenVerified, Nuwber, and Radaris. Results and pricing vary by site. A deletion or suppression route depends on the provider, the person, the data, and the privacy law that actually applies; do not assume every site has the same legal duty.
