    Personal Info Website / LEO safety

    Evening everyone,

    There is a website out there called



    Basically has all the basic info of whoever you may be looking for with just a name and a birthdate. Shows the names of spouses, children, family, current, and old addresses.

    I saw a post by "survive the streets" a LEO page on social media talking about this. Also had several leo buddies and family members message me about this same website. You can opt out your information on this webpage.

    I was also skeptical about going on the site but I ran a search on just my name alone with no birthdate. I was able to find some personal information about me I did not want out there like my wife's name and our address.

    I eventually opted my info off this page.

    I understand there are numerous websites that can do the same thing with just personal info the web collects off each and everyone one of us. Either way I was alarmed with some of the info I found connected to my name including family addresses.

    Stay safe, hope this helps.

    I did a search and I also opted out I have a common name but I really didn't want that info out there any more than it has to be thanks for the heads up.

      My youngest daughter advised me of that site just last week so I opted out then. I just checked it to ensure that it worked and it had. Tho there are 3 pages of people with my name, none are me. I checked each one that had a birthday close to mine also. It's amazing, considering my last name, but I guess with my cultural background, it's as common as Smith.

          My brother (airforce) just informed me of this... They are actively briefing military members on this, to opt out as to reduce risk associated with identifying information being out there.
