How to get my information off of these searches?

How would I get where I last lived off of people search engines? It had a list of all the places I have lived! It feels like someone is tracking me down... is there anything I can do?

Hi,

This Microsoft page gives you some tips to protect your privacy in directories online.

These are the main tips:

Get off the lists (and stay off)
•

Find out where you are currently listed by doing your own online research. Search for your name in the popular search engines and in online directories.
•

Request that your name be removed from online directories. If it's not clear how to do this on a Web site, use the "Contact Us" link or address at the bottom of the directory site.
•

Get an unlisted phone number or at least have your address unlisted. Also, instruct your phone and Internet service providers to remove any existing personal information of yours from all of their directories.
•

Set up a special e-mail address solely for online activities such as shopping and newsgroups. This way you can close it if needed and start a new one without disrupting your business or personal e-mail correspondence.
•

Keep a record any time you give your personal information to a company so you can ask them to remove it later if necessary.
