With the dawn of the information age and the widespread use of personal computers, there has been a profound and rapid evolution in our ability to store and manage information of every type. Today there are literally thousands of publicly available computer databases and people locator services that make it possible for others to perform instant background checks on each and every one of us – the property we own, where we live, our neighbors, the cars we drive, and the purchases we make.
The widespread, unregulated and uncontrolled collection and dissemination of information about ordinary Americans is a multi-billion dollar industry. Public information ranges from Department of Motor Vehicle records to local tax and property databases, telephone directories, and even a database about your political contributions.
Locating people, finding public information, and/or performing a criminal background check can be difficult and time-consuming. Most people don’t know how to access and use public information resources or people locator tools. To further complicate things, much of the information in these public record systems is old, out-of-date, or just plain wrong.
For people concerned about the proliferation and distribution of information about themselves, there is an urgent need for tools and resources to help understand what others can learn about them, where the information is located, who owns and manages it, how it is used, and whether it can be deleted or changed.
PublicInfoGuide.com was founded to provide essential services related to public record and to offer easy and affordable access to the many information resources available today. Whether you need immediate help to locate people instantly, or you’re concerned about what someone else could find out about you, we’re here to help address all of your concerns and help facilitate the responsible use of publicly available information.
