In this post, we’ll cover what 411.info-Business is and Step-by-Step instructions on How to Opt Out of 411.info-Business.
What is 411.info-Business?
411.info is the first online 411 service in US and Canada. Offering a free online information service, this data broker aims to help individuals locate people, businesses, services, and addresses. Moreover, the online services they offer are free of charge, in contrast to telephone-based 411 services.
The online directory services offered on their website make it easy to connect with people and services, but this also means it leaves us exposed online. Our valuable personal and business information is bought and shared online in just a few clicks without our knowledge. This often results in phishing attempts, and unwanted spam calls and emails.
Optery offers Optery for Business, a great way for business owners who want to cover the removal of their employee’s personal information from the internet. Optery for Business uses advanced technology to locate information that benefits both business owners – to reduce risk of online phishing and hacking of sensitive information, and employees – for personal safety from identity theft that might be used to put the business at risk.
