The Bad

Outside agencies
Opting out

To get a background check on a person, the search engine directs to www.intstantcheckmate.com. In other words, they use outside agencies to support some of their services. To opt out of White Pages policy of disseminating information for advertising purposes is to must click on one of the third party services that they use, such as a do-not-call registry, to block your personal information for advertising purposes.

The Bottom Line

If you are looking for a name, phone number, address, or other similar contact information for a person or business, we recommend White Pages for its basic search functionality and its mobile apps. We were concerned though about third party sharing and outsourcing information from other sites like www.instantcheckmate.com and Spokeo. This site, in some situations, reveals just how much personal information is shared across the information commerce industry.

When I suspected my husband was having an affair, I was needing a source to discover who belonged to the numbers he was calling and texted. I was able to assign names of the women and eliminate the legitimate friends he was communicating with. He refused to go to counseling and he was assuring me he was not cheating. White Pages helped prove he was having one serious affair and multiple sexting/texting with other women. I am now able to file for divorce with confidence that I did everything to salvage the marriage. This was not his first and I would have liked to have had this service 17 years ago when I went through this mess the first time. Thanks!
