These three rank highly in search results, so they are often the first place an ex, a stalker, or a scammer finds your details. The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, which has <a href="https://privacyrights.org/data-brokers">tracked the data-broker industry since 1992</a>, classifies people-search sites as among the highest-exposure brokers because their listings are public-facing by design.</p>
