How to remove yourself from PublicData

What they publish

subscription access to public-records databases from local, state and federal agencies, searchable by name, date of birth and other criteria; the FAQ names criminal records, sex-offender data and DMV databases searchable by plate number or VIN, and says data guarded by legislation such as driver's-license information is excluded from AutoSearch

1. 01Read the Position on Database Inaccuracies at https://publicdata.com/pandp.html: PublicData does not edit or remove records at an individual's request.
2. 02To correct or remove a record, contact the government agency that supplied it (court clerk, police or sheriff's records office, DMV); the FAQ lists which local offices hold which criminal records.
3. 03Once the agency has changed its record, PublicData says it will reflect the change in that database's regular update cycle.
4. 04You can still email webinfo@publicdata.com asking that your records be suppressed from search and that any personal data held about you be deleted; say which state privacy law you rely on if you live in a state that has one (Texas residents: the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act). The site states no process for this, so a reply is not assured .
5. 05Do not send expungement orders; the FAQ says they are not accepted and that it relies only on full database updates from the recording agency.

Re-listing risk for this site: High — the site reflects source-agency data "in the regular update cycle of that database", so anything not changed at the source returns on the next update
