Medium — a self-serve Know/Delete/Opt-out form open to any US resident (the policy claims a CCPA exemption under §1798.140(c) "However, we recognize that some people may still want to remove their information, so we allow them to do so"), but the form path is disallowed to crawlers by robots.txt so its fields and any CAPTCHA are unconfirmed ; there is no privacy email, only a contact form and a toll-free line

What they publish

A credentialed-access skip-tracing database, not a public site — "not available to the general public and is only available to these types of businesses: Private investigation agencies, registered process servers or repo agencies". The privacy policy says it has disclosed "consumer name, location, personal identifiers, and contact information ... derived from government public records, GLB data resellers, telephone listing data and the publicly available outbound voicemail recording of California telephone numbers", collected "from federal, state and local government agencies as well as from GLB data resellers"

Owner / network: Skip Smasher LLC ("SkipSmasher, LLC" refers to "the Missouri LLC by the same name" — terms.aspx); operated by a licensed private investigator (about-us.aspx)
