Have you signed up for anything on the web lately? Perhaps you’ve filled up a form or provided some pieces of information to get into a service or acquire a freebie? Despite what many sites and services say in their privacy policies, there’s always a chance you could have given too much information about yourself that could potentially put you or your family in harm’s way.
You may not believe it but it’s a fact that online, sly marketers and shady business owners sell the personal information of people all the time. If you signed up to a marketer’s list at some point for example, that list owner can easily sell your data to another marketer or to any other interested individual if the price is right. In fact, there are whole markets on the web designed to buy and sell personal data.
This is why you get unwanted offers for products or services all the time. But this isn’t the worst that could happen to you. Depending on who has your information, it can be used to stalk you, harass your family or steal your identity.
If you have any concern for your privacy and safety and that of your family’s, you’d want to learn how to remove personal information from the internet. The good news is that it can be done. There are now some very reliable services that can do this in your behalf. All you need to do is pay one of these services and they can request sites to stop selling your information.
It’s important that you take action now before it’s too late.
