ID True operates as an incognito consumer search platform, allowing users to access information about acquaintances, colleagues, or other connections by simply inputting a name and state. What sets ID True apart is its combined people search and background check capabilities. These background checks often provide details like address history, contact info, media accounts, and connections. But it's crucial to note that the reports generated through ID True lack reliability for important decisions such as employment or renting.
The reports' credibility issues stem from the nature of the data they showcase. Data from people search platforms can often contain inaccuracies or erroneous associations due to system or user errors. Correcting inaccurate data can be done in two ways: users with an ID True account can modify their profile details online, while others can opt for a removal request.
Removing oneself from ID True doesn't require any personal criteria, and the methods for opting out are both free and devoid of any account creation. Opting out involves requesting the deletion of personal information from public access. ID True complies with these requests by deleting the record and its associated data, making it inaccessible in internal searches. However, authorities may retain access to older information, though deletion removes it from general searches.
Furthermore, ID True implements a 12-month report lifespan. After this period, the report gets archived, making it unavailable in public searches. Similar to opt-out requests, this archival process completely removes the record automatically. Therefore, users should periodically check every six months for newly generated records after the report's removal.

6. Remove your data from other sites
Congratulations on taking the first steps in securing your online presence! It's essential to be aware that even though you've initiated the removal process, it may take several business days for your data to be completely removed from their platform. It's important to occasionally revisit the site to verify that your data has not reappeared (in which case you'll need to repeat the process).
In the United States, there are hundreds of active data brokers. To protect yourself from potential invasions of your online privacy and mitigate associated risks, we recommend proactively opting out of all people search websites and data broker platforms. To do this effectively, you can begin by searching for yourself on popular search engines or identifying data brokers active in your area. Then, follow the opt-out procedures for each platform individually.
If you find yourself pressed for time and prioritize safeguarding your data privacy, an automated opt-out service like PrivacyZen can be your solution. PrivacyZen efficiently eliminates your information from major data brokers, providing a convenient and time-saving option.
