Erasing Personal Information Online
Below are some of the links to the sites that I demonstrate during my presentation on Eliminating Traces of your Identity on the Internet. These sites will allow you the option to "Opt Out" of their database. Also, you should obtain your credit report three times yearly. Review each report for any questionable activity or inaccurate data. I recommend closing any open accounts that are no longer used. Obtain your free reports at AnnualCreditReport.
