Online dangers grow by the day. Every week it seems like there's a new cybersecurity threat, a new credit card hack, and a new way for your private information to fall into the wrong hands.

Wouldn't it be great if you could discover what people can learn about you online?

That's possible with TruthFinder. This powerful online tool uncovers data even Google® can't find. You can use it to look up criminal and traffic records, phone numbers, aliases, email addresses, home addresses, and deep web photos for almost anyone in the United States — including yourself.

Has your privacy been exposed? Here’s how you can find out.

What People Can Learn About You

Unless you literally live off the grid in a cabin in the woods, your personal information is part of the "public record" — local, state, and federal data that is publicly accessible. This data comes from census data, property ownership records, police reports, and other government sources.

TruthFinder crawls through all of this info along with other public information to show you what people can learn about you online. Basically, if you have a social security number, a driver's license, or a mortgage, at least some of your personal information is part of the public record.

What does that mean? Well, if people know where to look, they can find your name, birthdate, home address, phone number, email address, and social media profiles, among other information.

Maybe you don't care about random strangers finding out where you live. But if you'd rather maintain your privacy, you can take steps to protect yourself.

• Additional Info: Public records data could include criminal & traffic records, traffic violations, a bankruptcy from years ago, even an eviction from earlier years, and more
