Big Brother is Watching

There are a few creepy websites that publish your private data, but this one is especially egregious. People reports that the website FamilyTreeNow.com lets anyone search for you, for free, and find your address history going back to basically birth along with the years that you lived there, your phone number, and links to family members and possible associates. Here is how to get your information removed:

1) Visit the homepage
2) At the bottom of the page, click on ‘Privacy
3) Under the Privacy Police header, click on ‘Opt Out of Living People Records
4) Click the box that proves you are not a robot, then click ‘Begin Opt Out Procedure’
5) Enter the relevant information for the person you want to opt out
6) Click into the correct record
7) Click the ‘Opt Out This Record’ red button at the top of the page
