What is Pipl.com?
Pipl.com is a B2B company that provides businesses with advanced search and identity verification solutions, enabling them to access and aggregate comprehensive personal information from various online and offline sources for purposes such as fraud prevention, background checks, and identity verification.
Because Pipl aggregates information from various public sources, it can also be a source of reputational risks for both individuals and businesses. For instance, individuals may find outdated or inaccurate information about themselves, while businesses might have concerns about the visibility of certain employees or affiliations.
Pipl, like other data brokers, gathers its information from a range of public records, social media profiles, and other publicly available data sources. According to their own documentation, they leverage data from online directories, public databases, and user-contributed content to compile their profiles.
Why you should remove your information from Pipl.com
Data brokers like Pipl.com collect and sell personal data, often without your consent. This can lead to an increase in unwanted marketing and inaccurate information about you being available online.
Having personal information about yourself online can put you at greater risk of identity theft, doxxing, stalking and other forms of online and potentially physical harassment. With Pipl specifically, one of the major concern is with people attacking your livelihood by sending fake or unwanted personal information about you to your employer.
Some data brokers often use unclear language. They suggest that paying for detailed reports can reveal more detailed information court records, lawsuits, and arrest records. This is true even if you’ve never even gotten something as meaningless as a parking ticket. These sites also sell ads to questionable advertisers. These advertisers might imply you have a legal history, even when you don’t.
Ultimately, it’s about having control over your own information. It’s your right to decide who has access to your details and for what purpose.
Removing your info from data brokers is a way to regain some of that control over your digital footprint and online privacy.
How did Pipl.com get my information?
Sites like Pipl.com gather their data from a few different sources, usually blending public records with other private data that they purchase.
- Public records: This can be anything from voter registrations, property deeds, court records, and marriage licenses.
- Business records: Similar to public records, if you run a business, some of that information is available for anyone to lookup, these sites just bring it all together.
- Credit Bureaus and Financial Institutions: While they don’t directly share credit history without consent, they can make some basic information available under some circumstances.
- Telecom Companies: They get lists of subscribers from phone companies to build their databases of phone numbers and addresses.
- Social Media and Other Online Sources: Publicly available information from social media profiles and other online platforms like LinkedIn can be scraped and aggregated.
- Third-party Data Brokers: They can buy information from data brokers who specialize in aggregating personal data.
A lot of this information is what you might not realize you’re giving away when you sign up for things online. That information, depending on how it is collected, can be bought and sold in bulk. This is kind of like a less malicious version of the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal.
