    I was notified by AAA ProtectMyID that my personal information in online with PeopleWhiz. I attempted to ask them to remove my name and information from their website. Their website told me the following would have to be done in order to remove my information "IMPORTANT: ID required. Youll need to provide proof of your identity before we can complete your request."There is no way I am going to provide them with a copy of my government ID.

    I discovered today (4/24/2025) that PeopleWhiz has made my personal information available on-line. In order to remove it I have to send them a photo of my driver's license. I don't feel comfortable sending that information. Is there a way to remove the information without the need to send yet more information?

    My personal information is being exposed on the internet by Peoplewhiz without my consent. I completed the Opt-Out request to remove my information from their data broker websites. Peoplewhiz stated I must provide them with a copy of my current photo id in order to confirm my identity and remove it from their public database. I have been the victim of identity theft twice and do not provide photo identification to any unknown persons/companies. Peoplewhiz sent me the following email:"We have received your request to be Opted Out from ************************!To OPT-OUT from our service, please click the link below.Confirm Opt-out If you have not uploaded a valid form of identification, please make sure to fax us or mail us your identification a soon as possible.Once we have a valid form of identification on file, we will start your request which can take up to 7 business days to complete. Please do not reply to this message."I did click on the confirmation link the company sent to confirm that I requested the Opt-Out In addition, I was told to fax/mail my photo id to :"************************** **************************************************** attn: Opt Out Request Important! Please reference optout case# '1fe566bed4bc6b01f2b60ef8bd00f88a' on your fax"This should be enough information for Peoplewhiz to remove my information from their database.

    This website displays personal identifying information publicly. When I try to remove my information it requires me to upload my government ID, giving them access to more personal information and discouraging people from taking action to protect themselves.

    I have never authorized my information to be provided on peopleWhiz website. There are 2 pages under my name/information. These both need to be removed immediately. A website such as peopleWhiz should never be asking for a valid ID to prove identity. There are many other ways to prove it. I want all my information removed and scrubbed from their website immediately.

    I am requesting to have my personal information be removed from their site. I sent an opt-out request; however, they are asking that I send a copy of my photo ID in order to remove my information. I am not comfortable sending my ID, as they are already using my personal information without consent.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. 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.
