PublicRecord.com

PublicRecord.com is a straightforward people-search product - a name search, a reverse-phone lookup, an address lookup, and state-by-state directories built for search engines. The domain dates to April 4, 1996, which makes it one of the oldest names in the category. The site itself is reticent - it publishes no contact details any automated reader can reach, and its own FCRA disclaimer names only "PublicRecord.com LLC" - but the operator files publicly with California as PublicRecordCom, LLC of Gainesville, Florida.

The operator is on the record where it counts. California's Delete Act registry lists PublicRecordCom, LLC at 602 S Main St, Gainesville, Florida, with compliance@publicrecord.com, the phone number (321) 376-6933, and a consumer privacy-rights page at publicrecord.com/privacy-rights/. Note the filed name is PublicRecordCom, LLC - not the "PublicRecord.com LLC" the site's own FCRA disclaimer uses, and not a California company. The same filing declares that it collects precise geolocation, a category most people-search sites don't claim.

That filing also reports the operator's own opt-out numbers for 2024 - 2,816 requests to opt out of sale or sharing, 2,815 honored in full, one denied, with a one-day mean and median response. Take those as self-reported, because they are, but they're filed with a regulator rather than marketed.

The site's own California Privacy Rights Disclosure gives a rougher picture for 2025. It reports 119,135 opt-out requests from US users, 68,494 complied with in full or in part and 43,397 denied, which it puts down to people not verifying their identity or confirming the request. The two sources cover different years and may not count the same things, so read them side by side.

What the site doesn't do is make any of that visible to a visitor. It publishes no address, phone number, or support email anywhere an automated reader can see, and the domain record points to a privacy proxy, which is why an earlier version of this profile concluded no operator could be identified at all.

Part of why the public record looks thin is the site itself. Everything except its robots.txt and sitemaps sits behind a Radware Bot Manager wall that turns automated readers away, so its privacy policy, terms, and opt-out page couldn't be read directly for this profile. What's here comes from the homepage, the site's own sitemap, domain and DNS records, and search-engine caches, labeled accordingly.

The product itself is freemium. The homepage offers limited free information and says viewing a full report requires "a small one-time fee," with a subscription tier for unlimited reports. What that fee actually is, whether there's a trial, and how renewal works couldn't be verified - checkout sits behind the same bot wall, and no third-party review documents the billing.

Everything below comes from the site's own descriptions - the homepage's list of record types, plus the search-engine snippet its people-finder pages carry, which promises current home address, phone numbers, social media profiles, emails, age, birthday, and dark web scan information.

A domain that's been live since 1996 would normally have accumulated some review history. PublicRecord.com has close to none - no Trustpilot page in the search index, no BBB profile, and a SmartCustomer listing with zero reviews. Read that as thin evidence rather than a clean record; there's simply no public channel where this site's customers visibly show up, so there's nothing here to weigh in either direction.

We searched federal dockets, class-action trackers, and FTC records for matters naming publicrecord.com or PublicRecordCom, LLC and found nothing. Read that as a genuinely clean sheet rather than a gap in the record - the operator files publicly with California, so there's a named company a plaintiff could reach.
