It\u2019s like an online phone book \u2014 except it\u2019s much more detailed. A better description would probably be a \u201cbackground check\u201d service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Information that\u2019s available on a Whitepages profile typically includes landline and cell phone numbers, area codes, info on relatives and associates, background reports, financial records, property details, professional licenses, and traffic records, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitepages also lets people perform a reverse address lookup and a reverse phone lookup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-does-whitepages-get-information\">How does Whitepages get information?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitepages uses a variety of sources to find information about individuals. These sources include public records (voter registration information, property records, marriage licenses, etc.), phone companies, social media, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"does-whitepages-notify-the-person-being-looked-up\">Does Whitepages notify the person being looked up?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitepages does not send notifications to people if someone searches for their information on the Whitepages site. This means that you cannot see who looked you up on Whitepages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"will-whitepages-relist-my-data-after-i-remove-it\">Will Whitepages relist my data after I remove it?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, yes. Like any other data broker, Whitepages will relist your information &#8211; even if you\u2019ve previously removed it &#8211; when it collects more data about you. For this reason, you need to opt out of Whitepages (and other data brokers) continuously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-whitepages-accurate\">Is Whitepages accurate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The accuracy of the information on Whitepages varies. In some instances, the data Whitepages provides about individuals may be 100% correct. In other cases, it may be totally wrong. Most often, however, some data is accurate, and some is inaccurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-whitepages-free\">Is Whitepages free?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitepages has both free and premium tiers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The free version of Whitepages gives you some information about an individual, like their landline, address, and limited information on family members. To get more intel about a person (including their criminal and traffic records), you need to pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, you can also try a trial membership for just $1. Who knew your private information was so cheap to access?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-whitepages-illegal\">Is Whitepages illegal?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitepages is not illegal. This is because Whitepages gets most of its data from public sources, which is a legal practice. At the moment, there is no federal law in the US that regulates the data broker industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can opt out of Whitepages and (most) other data broker sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on where you reside, certain laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) might also give you the legal right to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>See what information data brokers have on you and how they use it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Request data brokers to remove your personal data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask data brokers to stop selling or sharing your data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-i-sue-whitepages\">Can I sue Whitepages?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably not. Technically, Whitepages isn\u2019t doing anything wrong in collecting and selling your personal information. However, people have <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bloomberglaw.com\/privacy-and-data-security\/whitepages-4-million-privacy-settlement-gains-initial-approval\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sued Whitepages<\/a> in the past for using their information in ads that promote the company\u2019s services and products.
