Truthed is a public records search engine that values user privacy above all else. Whether it’s keeping our members’ identities 100% private and secure or helping you understand why certain public records showed up in your self-search, we’re here to assist. The best way we can help is by answering the most common questions our users have in detail. Here are a few of the most frequently asked ones:
Can my search target find out I used Truthed to background check them?
No. Not only do we encrypt and safeguard our site, ensuring user anonymity when you perform a search, but there is no way for any third-party app or entity to access your information either. We take our members' privacy very seriously, and we are committed to ensuring you can conduct your background checks without anyone finding out. That’s our promise to you.
Is Truthed only for the U.S., or can I search international people as well?
Truthed is a U.S.-based background search engine. As such, we can only pull public records history on U.S.-based individuals. Unfortunately, as of now, you cannot search for people living in other countries on our site.
What are the most common reasons people use Truthed?
Great question! Truthed is used for all kinds of reasons, among the most common of which are self-searches (to see what public records are out there on you), background checking a blind date (often from a dating app) before meeting in person, and reconnecting with long-lost friends, family members, or loves that you can’t seem to find anywhere else!
Other common uses include checking out someone you don’t trust (like a family member’s new partner), reverse phone lookups for numbers that keep calling, researching the history of a residential or commercial real estate property before purchasing, or uncovering secret social media profiles someone may be hiding.
How is my information used when I sign up for a membership?
At Truthed, we only use your information to manage communication and your relationship with our site. For instance, we may send you an email with important updates regarding your account, but we will never share your details with any third-party entities. Your information is kept private, and we take every step to protect it.
How do I remove my name and public records from your search results?
Removing your name and public records from our search results is easy! Simply follow the prompts on this page. We can also instruct our public records providers to exclude your documents from search results, but please note that this will not erase your public record history. Public records are stored by government agencies and private entities, as required by law, and there’s no way to completely delete your public records file.
For more information, please read through our Remove My Info page or contact our 24/7 customer service.
How do I cancel my membership?
We never want our members to jump through hoops to cancel their membership. Although we hate to see you go, we want to make the process as easy as possible. Just contact our customer service team with your membership details, and we’ll take care of it. We’re available 24/7 by phone or email.
