Free data broker exposure check

See which of the biggest people-search sites and data brokers list your name, address and phone. Free, no account.

We search by it too. It finds listings a name misses.

Already public record. It separates you from a neighbor with the same name, so matches come back confirmed.

Your details are used only to run this search. No account is created and nothing is saved to a profile. Results are cached for up to six hours so a repeat scan comes back faster, then they expire. How we handle your info.

What data brokers are

Data brokers collect personal information from public records, purchased datasets, and other websites, then republish or resell it. For most people that means a profile page with their name, age, home address, phone numbers, email addresses, and relatives, available to anyone who searches.

You never signed up for these sites and they did not ask you. Most offer an opt-out process, but each site has its own, and a record removed from one site is untouched on the rest.

People-search sites
TruePeopleSearch, Whitepages, Spokeo, and similar sites that publish name, age, address, phone, and relatives pages anyone can look up.
Real estate data brokers
Aggregators that combine county property records with contact data and sell it to investment firms and acquisition teams.
Wholesale lead platforms
Tools like BatchLeads and DealMachine that package owner lists, with phone numbers attached, for wholesalers running outreach campaigns.

Why property owners get scraped more than most

Property ownership is public record. County assessor rolls and recorded deeds tie your name to a parcel, and brokers merge those records with contact data to answer the one question wholesalers pay for: how do I reach this owner directly?

That is why owning property puts you on more lists than the average person. Wholesalers, flippers, and acquisition teams buy owner lists with phone numbers attached, which is how a number you never gave out starts getting texts about a property you never advertised.

What this exposure check does

  1. 1

    You enter your name, address and phone

    All of it is needed, and the street address most of all. Without a unique identifier every match is capped at "possible", because a public search cannot tell you apart from a neighbour with the same name.

  2. 2

    We search public results per site

    For each broker we run a targeted search of public Google results scoped to that site, the same way anyone could look you up by hand.

  3. 3

    You see who likely lists you

    A matching page on a broker site is a strong signal you are listed there. Each result links to the page so you can confirm it yourself.

The scan has two limits. A match is a strong signal, not confirmed exposure: only opening the listing confirms it is you. And a site can hold a record that search engines have not indexed, so a clean scan means the sites we looked at are not publishing you where search can see it, not that no record of you exists anywhere.

The scan does not create an account or save your details to a profile. Results are cached for a few hours so repeat scans of the same name come back faster, then they expire.

Each site removes listings on its own schedule, and brokers relist people, so Shield Pro keeps re-checking. FendLand does not guarantee any site removes a listing or keeps it off.
