Removing yourself from Intelius requires you to fill out an opt-out form and verify your email address. &nbsp;Your listing should be removed within 72 hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ZabaSearch is a data broker website that crawls the web, aggregating information and compiling it into listings.&nbsp; Like other data broker sites, ZabaSearch presents itself as a site to help people find long-lost friends and relatives.&nbsp; Really, it just finds personal information and posts it online &#8212; anyone can find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When data broker sites like ZabaSearch create a listing for you, it is likely to show up in Google when people search for your name. &nbsp;The result might look something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, they advertise having details like her address and phone number.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is the kind of information that people look for when they are looking to steal your identity, commit financial fraud, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, ZabaSearch is owned by Intelius. They also own other data broker sites; including DateCheck, PeopleLookUp, and US Search.&nbsp; This means that if your information can be found on ZabaSearch, it\u2019s probably also posted on all of the other affiliated sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-kind-of-information-do-they-have\">What kind of information do they have?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you search for a name on ZabaSearch, you will find a list of results that look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you click &#8220;View full profile&#8221;, you&#8217;ll be redirected to Intelius, where you&#8217;ll be able to purchase a full report for just <strong>95&nbsp;cents<\/strong>, including the person&#8217;s full name, age and date of birth, addresses, phone number, and relatives&#8217; names.
