Data with a Purpose

We generate a digital footprint with nearly every move we make on and offline. Our lives leave behind a trail of public records. By law, many of these records and the information they contain are made publicly accessible via the public domain.
Spokeo uses this pre-existing public data for one purpose: to give you the power to make informed decisions in your life. Find out why millions of people trust us every day: learn about the power of data and how it can help elevate all your personal connections.
