In this post, we’ll cover what Zlookup is and provide step-by-step instructions on How to Opt Out of Zlookup.
What is Zlookup?
Zlookup is a people search site that offers to look up people’s personal information for a fee. The site claims to have access to ”over 1 billion public records” and to be able to provide information such as a person’s name, address, phone number, email address, and social media profiles. Zlookup also offers a paid service that allows users to reverse lookup phone numbers and email addresses.
Although Zlookup is a legitimate company, there are several reasons why you might want to opt out of their website. First off, by having your personal information to Zlookup, you are effectively permitting them to sell it to other data brokers and third-party marketers. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the records on their database are accurate or reliable. Finally, even if you choose to leave their website, there is no guarantee that other data brokers won’t still obtain your information and may disregard your request. You can take action to opt out of Zlookup if you are concerned about your personal information being collected and sold by data brokers like them.
