ThePublicIndex

ThePublicIndex.org is a people search site that provides access to a wide array of government-generated public records across the United States. The service aggregates information from thousands of sources, allowing users to search for individuals by name, phone number, email, or address. The types of data available include criminal records, court documents, marriage and divorce records, property records, address history, phone numbers, and information on relatives and associates. While the site is not a consumer reporting agency and its data cannot be used for purposes like employment or credit screening, the detailed personal information it makes available poses significant privacy risks. The accessibility of such comprehensive profiles can facilitate identity theft, stalking, doxxing, and harassment by malicious actors. To mitigate these risks, individuals should be cautious about the information they share online and can request to have their information removed from the site's database.
