What Is A Data Broker?

A Data Broker is a company or collection of companies collecting an array of personally identifiable information (PII) about consumers, including the following:

• Full name
• Phone number
• Email and physical addresses
• Age
• Gender
• Occupation and education history
• Social security number
• Financial and criminal background

These companies collect this data to sell it, often utilizing other Data Broker and People Search Sites to spread and sell the information in large volumes to anyone who wants to pay for it. Data Brokers are freely permitted to hoard your information and use it for their gain, and so they do, until you opt out of course. They've built a $250 BILLION industry out of hoarding and selling information.

That is why we put Data Brokers and People Search Sites as the highest priority for scans and removals for our Pro Account users. Take your digital privacy into your own hands, and let Privacy Bee help you delete your information!
