Our editorial assessment from public sources as of September 10, 2026. Each dimension is scored 1 to 4, higher means more exposure, and the overall gauge is their average, unless a confirmed breach holds it higher. It is an opinion, not a finding about the company's conduct or legal compliance. Dimensions marked "Editorial estimate" are estimated from the kind of service offered rather than observed on this site. How we score
What each dimension means
- 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: the volume and pattern of complaints across BBB, Trustpilot, and Sitejabber. No listing, or a listing with no reviews, 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.
- Prior data incidents: history of breaches or leaks of the data they hold.

Background
Background
OnlineSearches prints its funnel on the page. The disclaimer on its homepage says the free directory covers name, address and partial phone numbers, and that a search may end up at Intelius.com where more is sold. That's a rare thing to find written down, and it settles what would otherwise be a judgment call about how this site relates to Intelius.
The directory itself is large, with thousands of links to free public-record searches across every state and county, sorted by record type, with a note on each about whether the source is free, paid, or unavailable online. The monetisation sits alongside it as tracking.intelius.com affiliate links on the record-type pages.
Two domains from Intelius' filing meet here. onlinesearches.com redirects to publicrecords.onlinesearches.com, and both appear separately on the registration.
The free directory is useful, and free. Its links go to actual county and state record offices, with each marked free, paid or unavailable. If you came here to look something up rather than to be looked up, you can use the directory and ignore the search box that leads to the paid report.

FAQ
Q & A
Who owns OnlineSearches.com?
Intelius, LLC files for it. onlinesearches.com is one of the twenty-two domains on Intelius, LLC's California data-broker filing, and the site names Intelius on its own pages. Intelius is one of the brands PeopleConnect presents as its own, alongside TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, US Search and Classmates; who owns that group today isn't publicly documented.
How do I remove my information from OnlineSearches.com?
Through Intelius. This site has no opt-out form of its own. Its rights links go to intelius.com's privacy center, which hands off to PeopleConnect's Suppression Center. Follow our Intelius removal guide, then re-check here a few days later.
Is OnlineSearches.com a consumer reporting agency?
It says it isn't. Its own footer disclaims the status, and the terms bar using its data to decide on credit, insurance, employment, or housing. Intelius, LLC's California filing likewise answers no to FCRA regulation.
Take yourself off data broker sites
Redact scans data broker sites from your device. The free scan shows which of your details are exposed but hides which broker lists you; Premium and Ultimate show where each listing is. For OnlineSearches.com, Redact searches Intelius for your listing rather than this site. Removal here is a manual step. Premium and Ultimate submit removals for most other brokers Redact covers.
