OnlineSearches.com

OnlineSearches.com operates as a free directory, providing extensive links to public records for individuals across the United States. The service, which is powered by Intelius, allows users to access sensitive information that includes criminal records, addresses, phone numbers, property details, and civil judgments. While the initial directory is free, users are often directed to the paid services of its parent company, Intelius, for more comprehensive reports. The aggregation and easy accessibility of such personal data create significant privacy concerns, as it simplifies the process for malicious actors to gather information for purposes like identity theft, stalking, or harassment. The detailed profiles that can be built from this data pose a considerable risk to personal security. To mitigate these risks, individuals should be mindful of the information they share publicly and can request to have their data removed from such databases through an opt-out process.
