HOW TO: Delete your personal information on the web

[Consumer Reports]   Friend, Have you ever popped your name in a search engine just to find out what’s out there? There may be more than you think! A number of people-search sites like Whitepages, Piple, and Intelius scour public records and purchase commercial datasets to publish detailed personal information. That data can include past and present addresses, any criminal records or bankruptcies, and even where your relatives live. If you care about your privacy, and want to learn how to scrub your information from these databases, we’re inviting you to a Consumer Reports workshop next week: Virtual Workshop: Deleting Yourself from Searches  January 26 at 1pm ET / 10am PT  [Click here to RSVP]( January 28 at 3pm ET / 12pm PT [Click here to RSVP](  In this workshop we’ll talk about the rise of people-search websites, the data they collect, and how to remove your information from them.
