Is people search anonymous?

BeenVerified Sponsored

Many people worry about using a people search tool, because they think the person they’re searching for will know about it. They won’t.

On the best people search sites, at least, your search is completely anonymous. There’s no way for the subject of your search to find out you searched for them.

For example, this is what our favorite people search site, BeenVerified, says on the matter:

Of course, you should always check the individual privacy policy of the site you’re considering using. And if you really want peace of mind, you should contact their support department.

There’s no guarantee you’ll find the information you’re looking for with the tools discussed in this article. They all source their information from publicly available data sources, such as county, state and federal courts, government departments, and police records, and those sources may contain incorrect or incomplete data. It’s illegal to use these tools to make decisions about employment, admission, consumer credit, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose that would require FCRA compliance.
