Public Record Reports

  • Redact removes listings on paid plans

A subscription people-search site selling name, property and reverse-phone searches, run by Digital Safety Products, LLC of San Diego, which also runs the older brand SpyFly on the same California filing. The $1 seven-day trial converts to $29.95 a month. In January 2026 Oregon fined the company $10,000 for brokering data there without registering. The removal form is free and the site's own FAQ puts it at about a day, though the company reported denying 87,121 of the 232,411 opt-out requests it took in 2024.

Our editorial assessment from public sources as of September 10, 2026, and our own opt-out testing as of September 9, 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

Two brands, one company

The homepage runs three searches off one database, by name, by property address and by phone number in reverse, and sells the results as a monthly subscription. The domain only dates to December 2022, but the company behind it has been in people search far longer. BBB records date Digital Safety Products, LLC to 2012, and its California filing also covers the older brand SpyFly.

California filing

One row covers spyfly.com and publicrecordreports.com

Privacy contact on that filing

privacyinfo@spyfly.com

That California registration says more than most. It declares that the company collects biometric data and precise geolocation, and it reports what 2024 looked like from the inside. Of 232,411 requests to opt out of sale, 87,121 were denied, roughly three in eight, on a two-day median. Deletion requests ran to 16,055 on a three-day median.

The subscription is the industry's usual shape. Per the terms, a $1.00 week converts to $29.95 a month until you cancel, an ID Protect add-on bills $1.95 on its own, and refunds sit at the company's "sole discretion".

Read the privacy policy's promise narrowly. It says the company doesn't sell or share your personal information with third parties. That sentence is about the data customers hand over at signup. The search product is a separate matter: the operator is a registered California data broker whose own filing counts a quarter of a million opt-out-of-sale requests in a year.

A booking photo outlives the case behind it. Arrest records and mugshots surface on a name search whatever the outcome was, and this site sells both. If a report shows something your state sealed or expunged, capture the listing with a visible date before you file the opt-out, because once it's gone you've lost the evidence.

Nobody promises the records are right. A dedicated FCRA page disclaims consumer-reporting use, and reviewers on SmartCustomer describe reports carrying records that belong to someone else.

If the on-site form leaves you nowhere, that address and 800-831-9235 are the channels with a regulator's paperwork behind them.

One filing, one shared owner

SpyFly shares one California registry row, one privacy inbox and one phone line with this site, both filed by Digital Safety Products, LLC. Beyond that pair, March 2024 court disclosures in New Jersey's Daniel's Law litigation (Digital Safety Products, Scalable Commerce and National Data Analytics, Civil Data Research) state that Digital Safety Products and three other California LLCs are each wholly owned by the same individual: Civil Data Research (SearchPublicRecords), Scalable Commerce (Kids Live Safe and QuickPublicRecords) and National Data Analytics (Public Data Check).

One request covers one site. Nothing published says a suppression here reaches SpyFly, and the sites under the same owner each run their own opt-out. Wherever a search turns you up, file that site's own form.

The generic name is misleading. This operator appears nowhere in the Cybernews MC2 Data investigation and isn't on InfoPay's brand list. Its documented links are SpyFly, on the same filing, and the three LLCs that share its owner.

Thin and split

The ratings don't agree with each other. A high average on the Sitejabber successor rests largely on reviews the platform collected for the company, and three scathing Trustpilot entries pull the other way. The BBB accredits the business and grades it A- on seven complaints, although the newest reviews on that same page are about charges people didn't expect, and the grade sits beside an alert for the Oregon penalty.

Litigation

Litigation history

Four matters

All four name the LLC rather than this domain. The Oregon order is a public document. The three lawsuits sit behind docket authentication, so those entries rest on filing metadata.

Oregon Division of Financial Regulation v. Digital Safety Products LLC

Final order Jan 12, 2026

Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services · Final Order Assessing Civil Penalty

Allegation

Acting as a data broker in Oregon without registering or holding an exemption

Penalty

$10,000 civil penalty

Status

Final

On January 12, 2026 Oregon's Division of Financial Regulation issued a final order assessing a $10,000 civil penalty against Digital Safety Products, over allegations that it acted as a data broker in the state without registering there or holding an exemption. The BBB carries it as a government-action alert on the Public Record Reports profile.

Atlas Data Privacy Corp. v. Digital Safety Products, LLC

Pending per docket data

Docket checked August 2026.

D.N.J. 1:24-cv-04141 · Third Circuit No. 25-1562 · Filed March 2024

Statute

New Jersey Daniel's Law

Plaintiff

Atlas Data Privacy Corp., as assignee of thousands of covered persons

Status

Pending as of docket data retrieved August 2026

Atlas sues on behalf of police, judges and prosecutors who, the complaint alleges, sent takedown notices the defendants didn't honor, and this operator is one of the defendants in the Third Circuit appeal over whether the statute survives constitutional challenge. One effect is visible on the site itself, where a Daniel's Law channel now routes covered persons to support instead of the automated form.

Where it stands

Virginia case closed · identical caption open in California

An individual FCRA claim, pointed at a company whose sites both disclaim being a consumer reporting agency in exactly the terms the statute turns on. Virginia closed the case on May 23, 2025 after a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim and for want of jurisdiction; the same caption reappeared in the Southern District of California seven weeks later.

Disposition

Not readable · how it closed sits behind docket authentication

One of the Illinois right-of-publicity cases that argued people-search sites used residents' identities in free search previews to sell subscriptions. The complaint itself wasn't readable, so the claims and the outcome stay unconfirmed.

No FTC action and no state attorney-general action against Digital Safety Products, SpyFly or Public Record Reports turned up as of the date below, though FTC.gov blocks automated searching, so that's a search-based negative rather than a clean bill. The one regulator action found is Oregon's, listed above. No breach involving this operator has been reported in the security press we read.

FAQ

Q & A

Common questions
Who runs Public Record Reports?

Digital Safety Products, LLC of San Diego, whose California filing also covers the older people-search brand SpyFly. BBB records date the business to 2012, while this domain was only registered in December 2022, so it's a newer shopfront on an established operation. The BBB record lists the Garnet Avenue address as PMB 409.

How do I get my listing removed?

Fill in the form at publicrecordreports.com/help-center/privacy-requests, verify an email address with the code they send, click Remove on the record that's yours, then click the link in the removal email within 60 minutes. It's free and you don't need an account. Our Public Record Reports removal guide walks all five screens with screenshots.

How long does removal take?

The site's own help center says most requests take about 24 hours, and tells you to wait a day before checking. The company's California filing reports medians of two days for opt-outs and three for deletions, so a day or two is realistic and a week is worth chasing.

Is this the same company as SpyFly?

Yes. One California data-broker registration by Digital Safety Products, LLC covers both domains, and the privacy contact on that filing is an @spyfly.com address. Treat the databases as separate anyway, because nothing published says an opt-out on one site clears the other.

Why was I charged $29.95?

The $1 trial runs seven days and then bills $29.95 a month until you cancel, and the ID Protect add-on bills $1.95 on top. Cancel by calling 1-800-326-2283 or through the member portal. Refunds are at the company's discretion under its terms, so take it to your card issuer if support won't move, and note that canceling a subscription doesn't remove your listing.

Can its reports be used for hiring or renting?

No. The terms and the footer on every page say the company isn't a consumer reporting agency, and there's a dedicated disclaimer at /help-center/fcra. The wrinkle is that a live federal suit, Foster v. Digital Safety Products, pleads an FCRA claim against the operator regardless, and its outcome isn't public yet.

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. They also submit the Public Record Reports removal for you, re-scan about every 15 days and file again if your listing comes back.
