PeekYou, LLC

PeekYou is a people search engine that compiles and aggregates publicly available information from a multitude of online sources to create detailed profiles of individuals. The platform scans social media sites, blogs, news articles, and public records to gather personal data, which it then organizes into comprehensive individual profiles. These profiles can include names, aliases, age, location history, photos, social media usernames, and information about relatives. The primary user base for PeekYou includes individuals looking to reconnect with people from their past, as well as businesses conducting informal background checks on potential clients. The exposure of such detailed personal information without consent poses significant privacy risks, including the potential for stalking, identity theft, doxxing, and harassment. Malicious actors can exploit this readily available data to target individuals for fraud or other harmful activities. To mitigate these risks, individuals should be cautious about the information they share publicly online and can request to have their data removed from PeekYou's database through an opt-out process.
