Why You Should Check Your Exposure
4,000+ Data Brokers Exist
The data broker industry generates $250 billion annually by collecting and selling personal information. Most people appear on dozens of sites without knowing it. People search sites scrape public records, social media, and purchase histories to build detailed profiles that anyone can access for a few dollars.
Identity Theft Starts Here
In 2024, the FTC received 1.4 million identity theft reports. Data brokers are often the first step — criminals use people search sites to gather enough personal details (address, phone, relatives, DOB) to impersonate victims, open fraudulent accounts, or craft targeted phishing attacks.
Your Data Regenerates
Even after you opt out, data brokers re-add your information within 3-6 months from public records updates, voter registrations, and property transactions. One-time removal isn't enough — continuous monitoring catches re-listings before your data spreads to other brokers in the network.
How the Exposure Check Works
Enter Your Name
Type your full name and optionally your city and state for more accurate results. Adding location narrows results and reduces false matches.
We Scan 10 Brokers
Our SERP-based scanner checks if Google has indexed a profile page for you on each of 10 major people search sites — without touching the broker sites directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the exposure check scan?
Our free exposure check scans 10 of the most popular people search sites — including FastPeopleSearch, Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, and Radaris — to see if they have a profile listing your name, address, phone number, or other personal information. These sites aggregate public records and sell access to anyone willing to pay.
Is this exposure check really free?
Yes, completely free. No credit card, no account required. You can run up to 5 checks per day. We use the same SERP-based scanning technology that powers our paid service, just limited to 10 brokers instead of the full 80+ broker database.
How is this different from a full GhostMyData scan?
This free check scans 10 popular people search sites via Google search results. A full GhostMyData scan checks 80+ data brokers using direct scraping, API lookups, and CCPA inquiries — covering enterprise data brokers like Acxiom, Oracle, and LexisNexis that don't appear in public search results.
What happens to my data after the scan?
Your name and city are hashed (one-way encrypted) for 24-hour result caching — we never store your actual name. If you provide an email to see full results, we'll send privacy tips but you can unsubscribe anytime. We never sell or share your information.
I was found on multiple brokers. What should I do?
If you're listed on several people search sites, your personal data is widely available to anyone who searches for you — including scammers, stalkers, and identity thieves. You can manually opt out from each broker (takes 2-6 weeks per site) or use GhostMyData to automate removals across all 80+ brokers simultaneously.
