In this post, we’ll cover what ID True is and Step-by-Step Instructions on How to Opt Out of ID True.
What is ID True?
ID True is a data broker specializing in public records searches. Their free search using just a name or phone number displays detailed personal information. A person’s social media accounts, criminal records, business associates, names of relatives, contact information, and current location and address history are easily accessible on the ID True website.
Scammers, stalkers, and cybercriminals often use personal information similar to what is displayed on the ID True website for fraud, social engineering, catfishing, and identity theft. If you are concerned about online security, protect your private data and opt out of data broker sites like ID True.
