Keep your Private Information Private

I just heard about a URL today that had private information of myself and how I could make my listing unpublished.  It had my name, husband's name, marital status, income, pix of my house (way too much information).  I heard that I could remove myself so I did.  I suggest you to the same.  As I learn about other sites such as this I will update this post.

Spokeo:  Enter you name, to the left of the page there could be several listings.  Look for your state and click on it.  It will narrow down the list.  Now look for your address and click on it.  If you have found yourself, copy the URL at the top of the page then in the lower right corner look for the word "privacy" and click on that.  Paste the URL into the box, enter your email and they type in the code they list and submit.  You should receive an email confirming that your listing has been removed.
