titleWarning about People finder websites/titlecategory1/category

Don’t use a people finder before you read this. This is especially meant for those who have never used them before. The article provides some key information about these finders i.e. what to expect and what you need to do.

There are a number of people finders being launched online every day. Half of those do not deliver as required. Of course there is the other half that’s just great. The warning I provide below does apply to both groups i.e. the good and the bad.

middot; There are paid and free people finders: some of the sites allow you to access their database to a href=http://www.findfree-people-friends.comfind people free/a i.e. without having to pay a cent while some charge you a certain fee. In fact at first glance, a site may look like it offers free services by letting you search using at least one variable (or piece of information) free and then will charge you for the rest.

middot; They collect your personal information: in some sites, you are required to provide you personal details so they can let you have access to their membership area. You need to be sure you are ready to do this before you start looking for any a href=http://www.findfree-people-friends.comfree people finder/a online.

middot; Some are not certified or verified: every one of these sites need to follow some certain business standards before they can offer their services to the public. Most often verified sites have indicators within the site – usually on the footer stating their certification.

middot; Some do not comply to The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA): in fact a number of owners of people finders do not know about privacy policy laws and do not even bother to find out about them.

middot; They do not have a privacy policy statement: I consider this vital for any site that collects and uses people’s information. Every website that is used to a href=http://www.findfree-people-friends.comfind a person free/a must have a privacy policy statement stating how they use the information you provide, whether they sell it or give it to 3rd party advertisers and business partners.

middot; Make sure the pay for search site is certified or verified somehow so that they have to follow some standards of business before you purchase anything from them and that they can protect your privacy when you buy from them.
