Q: Who owns People Searcher?

The People Searchers LLC, an active Florida company at 4781 N Congress Ave, Suite 2135, Boynton Beach, Florida, formed in June 2020. That name appears on its California data-broker registration, its BBB profile, and the Daniel's Law docket where it is a defendant. Who controls the LLC is less clear. Florida's record names another company, DMXH LLC, as authorized member, and no filing we can cite goes further up the chain.

Q: What does People Searcher cost?

A five-day trial at $1.00 or $14.95 (the entry price varies by the offer you land on), which converts to $49.97 a month billed to the same card exactly five days from the hour you registered. The terms state service fees are non-refundable, so cancelling before the trial expires is the only reliable way to avoid the charge.

A subscription people-search site operated by The People Searchers LLC of Boynton Beach, Florida, selling reports drawn from a claimed 12 billion public records behind a five-day trial that converts to $49.97 a month. Its operator is a named defendant in New Jersey's Daniel's Law wave, and the site is one of the fifteen brands researcher JayeLTee found on a backend exposed in 2024, whose admin accounts were @mc2data.com addresses. It runs a second storefront, SecretInfo, on the same registration.

Our editorial assessment from public sources as of October 8, 2026, and our own opt-out testing as of October 8, 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

A confirmed prior data leak holds the overall rating at Substantial or higher; a major or repeat breach forces Extensive, regardless of the other five dimensions.

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

Site history

People Searcher is a subscription people-search product. Enter a name and it returns matching person records, then sells the full report behind a short paid trial. The rendered site never names its operator; every page, the privacy policy included, comes back as an empty JavaScript shell to anything that isn't a browser. The paper trail is where the operator appears, and unusually for sites on this template it appears clearly.

Operating entity: The People Searchers LLC
Address: 4781 N Congress Ave, Suite 2135 Boynton Beach, FL 33426
Florida LLC: L20000183417 · filed June 2020 · active
Registered agent: Rocket Lawyer Corporate Services LLC (Tallahassee)
Sister domain: secretinfo.org (same CPPA filing)
Server admin domain (2024): @mc2data.com (no filing ties The People Searchers LLC to MC2 Data)

The operator is on record in three places that agree. Florida lists The People Searchers LLC as an active LLC, document number L20000183417, formed in June 2020, with Rocket Lawyer Corporate Services as registered agent (read through a Sunbiz mirror rather than the state site itself, because Sunbiz detail pages use per-session identifiers that can't be linked to directly). California's data-broker registry, where it has been registered since 2021, gives the same Boynton Beach address and the public contact support@peoplesearcher.com. And the company's BBB profile, opened February 2021, lists the same address and phone.

Who actually controls it is less settled. The Sunbiz-sourced record names the authorized member as DMXH LLC (another company, not a person), and no filing we can cite goes further up the chain.

The site's place in the 2024 leak is well documented. Security researcher JayeLTee found an exposed, passwordless backend in August 2024 holding people-search records on more than 100 million Americans plus 2.3 million customer accounts, with every user record tagged to one of fifteen brands (peoplesearcher.com among them) and admin accounts on @mc2data.com addresses. He wrote that he didn't know if MC2 Data owns all these websites. DataBreaches.net published the enumerated list. Separately, the Cybernews investigation that established the 106,316,633-record scale names five consumer brands it linked to MC2, and PeopleSearcher is one of the five, so this brand is supported by both strands of the reporting, which isn't true of every site on that list.

What no filing shows is any corporate link between The People Searchers LLC and MC2 Data, LLC. What connects them is the leaked backend's @mc2data.com admin accounts and the shared site template, and that's the honest limit of it.

The subscription is the product. The site's terms describe a five-day trial at $1.00 or $14.95 depending on the offer you land on, converting to $49.97 a month billed to the same card "exactly 5 Days, on the hour, from the date and time you originally registered." Service fees are non-refundable by the terms' own wording, so cancel before the clock runs out rather than asking afterwards.

The sister site uses a different phone number. SecretInfo runs the same product on the same registration, but its terms give cancellation as (866) 409-0140 rather than this site's (833) 634-0750. If you hold subscriptions on both, cancel each through its own number.

One phone line, two companies on separate filings. The number The People Searchers LLC gives on its current California data-broker filing, (833) 567-9375, is the same line PersonSearchers publishes in its terms as its billing and cancellation number. PersonSearchers is filed by Private Records LLC, a different company in a different state. Nothing in either filing documents a relationship between the two LLCs. What links them is a shared phone line, the same page template, and the backend exposed in 2024 that both LLCs' sites were on.

Related sites

One filing, two storefronts

The People Searchers LLC's California data-broker filing names two websites (peoplesearcher.com and secretinfo.org), and the two homepages are byte-for-byte identical, the same JavaScript shell served under two brands. Beyond that pair sit the fifteen brands found on one leaked backend in 2024, whose admin accounts were @mc2data.com addresses. They're filed with California under five LLCs, and no filing documents common ownership.

Opt out of both, separately. The two sites are one product on one filing, but each runs its own opt-out form and neither page says a submission clears the other. Until one of them says so, treat them as two removals.

Not to be confused with PublicSearcher. publicsearcher.com is a different site on a different operator's filing (Infomatics LLC), and thepeoplesearchers.com (the plural domain that looks like this company's name) doesn't resolve at all. Name similarity isn't evidence of a relationship in this category.

Almost no footprint

For a site claiming twelve billion records, People Searcher has left little public review trail. What exists is small, uniformly negative, and about billing.

Litigation

Litigation history

Daniel's Law defendant

The People Searchers LLC is a named defendant in its own right, one of the roughly 150 Daniel's Law suits Atlas Data Privacy filed in early 2024, and one of the defendants whose motion to dismiss was denied in the consolidated ruling.

Atlas Data Privacy Corp. v. The People Searchers, LLC

Active

Docket checked August 5, 2026.

D.N.J. 1:24-cv-04045 · New Jersey Daniel's Law · Filed March 20, 2024

Statute: New Jersey Daniel's Law (N.J.S.A. 56:8-166.1)
Plaintiff: Atlas Data Privacy Corp., assignee of covered persons
Judge: Harvey Bartle III (E.D. Pa., sitting by designation)
Motion to dismiss: Granted in part, denied in part on Aug 25, 2025
Constitutional appeal: 3d Cir. No. 25-1557 · docketed Mar 31, 2025
Current posture: Answer filed Oct 3, 2025 · discovery schedule entered July 30, 2026

Atlas Data Privacy, suing as assignee for New Jersey judges, prosecutors, and police officers, alleges The People Searchers kept publishing protected home addresses and unlisted phone numbers after nondisclosure requests. The district court rejected the defendants' facial constitutional challenge to Daniel's Law on November 26, 2024, and this defendant's own motion to dismiss was granted in part and denied in part the following August. The company withdrew a personal-jurisdiction challenge, answered in October 2025, and the case is in discovery. No settlement or judgment has been entered.

MC2 Data breach exposure

Not a party

August 2024 · 106,316,633 records · 2.3M customer accounts

Researcher: JayeLTee · brand-ID mapping across 15 sites
This brand's status: Named on both the 15-brand list and Cybernews's five
Corporate link to MC2: None documented in any filing we can cite

peoplesearcher.com appears in both strands of the MC2 reporting: JayeLTee's fifteen-brand list from the exposed server (he said he didn't know if MC2 Data owns the sites) and the Cybernews investigation's shorter list of five brands Cybernews linked to MC2. The class actions that followed were filed against MC2 Data, LLC, not against The People Searchers LLC, so this brand carries the exposure without being a defendant in it.

We found no FTC enforcement action and no state attorney-general action naming The People Searchers LLC, peoplesearcher.com, or secretinfo.org.

FAQ

Q & A

Who owns People Searcher?

The People Searchers LLC, an active Florida company at 4781 N Congress Ave, Suite 2135, Boynton Beach, Florida, formed in June 2020. That name appears on its California data-broker registration, its BBB profile, and the Daniel's Law docket where it is a defendant. Who controls the LLC is less clear. Florida's record names another company, DMXH LLC, as authorized member, and no filing we can cite goes further up the chain.

Is People Searcher the same as PublicSearcher or PeopleSearch.com?

No, and it makes a difference when you're following removal instructions. PublicSearcher is on Infomatics LLC's California filing. PeopleSearch.com and PeopleSearchNow.com are separate companies again, with their own review histories that search engines routinely mix up with this one. The only site tied to People Searcher is SecretInfo, which shares its registration.

Does opting out of People Searcher also remove me from SecretInfo?

Assume not. The two run one product on one registration, but each has its own opt-out form and its own cancellation phone line, and neither site's opt-out page says a submission covers the other. Submit separately on both, and keep the confirmation emails.

What does People Searcher cost?

A five-day trial at $1.00 or $14.95 (the entry price varies by the offer you land on), which converts to $49.97 a month billed to the same card exactly five days from the hour you registered. The terms state service fees are non-refundable, so cancelling before the trial expires is the only reliable way to avoid the charge.

Was my data in the MC2 leak?

Possibly, if you were listed on this site before August 2024. The exposed database held 106,316,633 records plus 2.3 million customer accounts, and every user record carried a brand ID mapping to one of fifteen sites, peoplesearcher.com among them. Opting out now removes your listing going forward; it does nothing about data already copied from that server.
