Do we have a UK version of Spokeo?

We don’t have spokeo in the Uk that I know of. But there are many search engines that could help.

Most if not all require a location so unless you have that too you may be struggling. They also need to have a telephone line in their name.

I would suggest social media websites and services to see if you can narrow the search down with pictures.

I do hope they have a fairly unique name because it may take some time and luck.

We don’t, however there are a range of search engines available that do the same. Depending on who you’re looking for and for what reason depends on what information you’d get.

If it’s that urgent and is important, I’d recommend a private investigator as they have access to far more systems than the layperson and don’t charge the earth for these services.

What data sources does Spokeo use?

Spokeo aggregates publicly available information from phone books, social networks, marketing surveys, real estate listings, business websites, and other public sources. Spokeo does not originate from data or publish user-generated content.

What data sources does Spokeo use?

Rather, Spokeo indexes third-party data in ways similar to Google or Bing. Spokeo does not control or maintain any aggregated third-party data, and therefore cannot guarantee its accuracy or currentness.

I entered my name and they said I lived in Fresno (vs.SF) so their data is inaccurate to say the least.

The question with all these sites to ask is whether they obtained their data from sites in accordance with the sites’ TOS vs. just scraping them. Facebook and other sites do not allow this.

I was really worries when I visited their website. They have a free version where anyone can search for people without any authorization. The they have this premium service, God known what that can do.

If you ask me they are a very intrusive and snooping service. Although i found none of the people I was looking for, it still brought so many search results I couldn’t believe how deep they are into ordinary people’s records.

So naturally, I headed over to their customer support and waiting for what they tell me. Their Privacy Policy mentions this:

We organize data from various sources, including public record data, surveys, and social data (that has not been deemed private). Spokeo makes this information more easily accessible for people to research themselves or others.

According to Spokeo’s Official Website, which can be found here: Where does Spokeo get its data? It gets data from a multitude of sources, including public records, mailing lists, surveys, public social media profiles, and much more.

Spokeo’s database not only includes standard contact data similar to what other search companies offer, but also curate its own unique data sets.

All of this data is constantly groomed by Spokeo’s teams of data scientists to make smart connections and identify the most relevant and up-to-date data.

This data is then sorted into reports that are organized in order to display all of this information in a simple, intuitive format which makes the information easily accessible for users.

One particularly unique data set Spokeo offers is the social media search functionality. The company actually started as a social media aggregator, which has helped Spokeo become the industry leader in searching and revealing social media profiles attached to an email or username.

Is Spokeo considered legal?

Considering that they have been operating since 2006 and still continue to be a very successful company, yes they seem “legal”.

Or at the least innocent until proven guilty, right? 

Though they have been a target at several lawsuits. Obviously any company in this business is going to be prepared with a legal team.

And as far as I understood, they have one of the biggest data sets among their competition. But where all the data comes from — who knows?

All they are saying is public online and offline sources.

Spokeo is a people search service that organizes information about people into simple and comprehensive online profiles that are accessible to consumers, businesses and non-profits.

Spokeo enables you to search for anyone by name, phone number, address, email, or username. This information can help you to reconnect with lost friends and family members, learn about celebrities and other famous people, and discover an online footprint.

Is there an API for UK version of Spokeo?

Yes, there is. 

I’m pretty sure when I posted this we had to contact Spokeo to get an API key and access to their API. There is no weblink I can find now. Sorry mates.
