Phone number 5. Email address They also potentially collect and sell additional personal information, all without my authorization. I have no idea where they get their information and how can they display highly sensitive personal information on their website without my consent. This should be illegal.You can't reach them over the phone. They redirect us to their website to opt-out. And on their website, now I have to accept their privacy policy, terms and conditions, and provide more sensitive information about myself to opt-out. I don't want to provide them more information than the ones they already have about me, to opt-out.Business Response

There are thousands of ways this information gets reported.
If you would like your records removed, please submit your request by using our online removal tool, linked below. We will also endeavor to block future public records that belong to the same person, but identifying these future records is not 100% accurate and cannot be guaranteed.

usphonebook.com displays my personal information in their website without my authorization, including:- Current address - Previous address - Phone number - Age Potentially they also collect and sell additional personal information, all without my authorization.They supposedly offer a way to opt-out, but the instructions in the website simply don't work.

I contacted USphonebooks requesting the removal of my personal info. First, they insisted that I do this via a tool not heir website, that is designed to request several additional information from the person, before they can even send the request. I stated that I did not want to use their tool and pass more sensitive data, and that my written request should have sufficed. At this point, they just keep telling me that they "can't remove my info from public records", which is not what I requested at all. I need my info removed from their website, I never mentioned legitimate government agencies. They are just repeating a script designed to confuse people. This is dishonest. I want my info removed.Business Response

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.
