  • Data published: how much and how sensitive the personal data they put out.
  • Re-listing frequency: how quickly you reappear after opting out.
  • Complaint record: volume and pattern of complaints across BBB, Trustpilot, and Sitejabber; no findable review presence counts against the broker.
  • Opt-out friction: how hard the removal process is to complete.
  • Operator opacity: how hidden the operating company and its principals are.

Background

Background

Safety-branded people search

Kids Live Safe leads with the most sympathetic pitch in the industry - registered-offender maps for worried parents, framed around Megan's Law. What it sells is a standard people-search subscription. The People Lookup product returns address history, phones, emails, social profiles, relatives, criminal records, financial history, bankruptcies, employers, professional licenses, voter registration, and even hunting and weapons permits, and the homepage encourages running these reports on babysitters, coaches, teachers, and dating partners, "100% anonymously."

CA registration

Scalable Commerce LLC · kidslivesafe.com + quickpublicrecords.com

Scalable Commerce describes itself as a Santa Barbara consumer-products company operating in four categories - People, Property, Social, Phone - and Kids Live Safe is its people-search flagship. The company registered as a California data broker starting in the 2025 cycle, covering kidslivesafe.com and its sister site quickpublicrecords.com in one filing. That registration discloses two collection categories most people-search brokers don't: biometric data (call-center voice recordings, kept 120 days) and precise geolocation.

The billing model is the industry's usual, which is a $1 seven-day trial that converts to $29.93-$29.97 a month until canceled, refunds at the company's "sole discretion," and binding arbitration in Santa Barbara County with a class-action waiver.

The safety pitch cuts both ways. The same report that vets a babysitter also hands a stalker your address history, relatives, and voter registration. The site's own FCRA page prohibits using reports to screen babysitters and nannies for employment - the exact use the homepage marketing implies.

Accuracy is not promised. Reviews on SmartCustomer (formerly Sitejabber) repeatedly cite wrong criminal charges and wrong addresses attached to the wrong person, and the company's own privacy policy says identifiers are retained "indefinitely, unless the consumer requests that their information be deleted."

Two operators, one lawsuit

The California registration and matching site templates tie Kids Live Safe to a small Santa Barbara-area family. Scalable Commerce LLC runs quickpublicrecords.com on the same filing; National Data Analytics, LLC - a co-defendant in the same Daniel's Law appeal, with the same site template - runs publicdatacheck.com from Goleta.

Each site runs its own suppression. The family shares templates and litigation, but there's no documented shared opt-out. If your record shows on quickpublicrecords.com or publicdatacheck.com, file each site's privacy-request form separately.

Polished but pattern-complaints

Kids Live Safe keeps a cleaner storefront than most people-search brokers - BBB-accredited since 2011 with an A+ - while the complaint themes underneath are the industry standard, meaning trial conversions people didn't expect, and report data that's flat wrong.

Certified question argued at the N.J. Supreme Court · decision pending

Atlas Data Privacy, as assignee of roughly 19,000 covered persons, sued 100+ data brokers for publishing protected home addresses. Scalable Commerce and National Data Analytics appealed together after the district court upheld the law in November 2024; the Third Circuit consolidated the appeals, heard argument in July 2025, and certified the key liability-standard question - what mental state Daniel's Law requires - to the New Jersey Supreme Court, which accepted it in October 2025 as A-8-25 and heard argument on March 17, 2026. A decision is pending.

We have not found an FTC enforcement action, state Attorney General action, or class action specific to Kids Live Safe or Scalable Commerce beyond the Daniel's Law matter as of the last-updated date below.

FAQ

Q & A

Common questions
Is Kids Live Safe a data broker?

Yes. Behind the child-safety branding, Kids Live Safe is a subscription people-search service claiming 350 million people in its database, and it's registered as a California data broker under its operator, Scalable Commerce LLC. The sex-offender maps are the marketing hook; the product is background reports on anyone.

Who owns Kids Live Safe?

Scalable Commerce LLC of Santa Barbara, California, a consumer-products company running since 2007 that also operates quickpublicrecords.com. The BBB lists the business under the alternate name Kids Live Safe, LLC. No founder or CEO is publicly named, and one of its listed directors is the same principal the BBB shows at Public Information Services, Public Data Check and Public Record Reports - a shared-principal link across the Goleta group that no corporate filing documents.

How do I remove my information from Kids Live Safe?

Kids Live Safe takes removals through the Privacy Requests form in its help center. Do Not Sell My Info, the request type it opens on, is the one that suppresses a public listing. Delete My Info is for subscribers erasing account data and does nothing for a listing. You give the first name, last name, city, state, ZIP and age from the listing, type in an emailed code, choose your record, press Remove, and click a link from a second email inside 60 minutes. The company says removal happens at the next database update, usually within 24 hours, and its metrics show a three-day median. The Kids Live Safe removal guide has each screen.

Why did my record come back after I removed it?

Their own policy explains it: data partners supply new records with "different spellings, initials, and/or addresses," which re-enter the database as new listings. Recheck a few weeks after removal and refile if a variant of your record has reappeared - and check quickpublicrecords.com and publicdatacheck.com, which run separate suppressions.

Why was I charged $29.97 by KLS or Kids Live Safe?

The $1 seven-day trial converts to the full $29.93-$29.97 monthly subscription unless canceled within the trial window, and it renews automatically. Cancel at 1 (800) 301-5905 or support@kidslivesafe.com; refunds are case-by-case per their terms, so dispute with your card issuer if support won't help.

Is Kids Live Safe covered by FCRA?

No, and this is where the branding collides with the law. Kids Live Safe disclaims being a consumer reporting agency, and its own FCRA page prohibits using reports to screen babysitters, nannies, or any employment decision - the exact scenarios its homepage markets. FCRA-compliant screening requires a licensed agency like GoodHire or a credit bureau.
