TruthViewer
- Paid plans file this opt-out for youBeta
A people search whose listings surface names, ages, location histories, and relatives. They were free to browse with no account when we looked in August 2026; by October 8 its search asked for a credit card, for a $0.30 identity hold, before showing any result. It runs the same site template and opt-out form as TruthRecord and WeInform, yet names no operator, and truthviewer.com appears on no California data-broker filing. One more catch is the front door itself. The homepage is an affiliate-style review page whose lookalike search form submits to a different broker, PeopleSearcher. The real search, and the opt-out, live on their own pages.

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
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
TruthViewer was the odd one out among the sites on its template. Where TruthRecord and WeInform funnelled every search into a paid trial, TruthViewer's listings were free and anonymous when we looked in August 2026, so anyone could browse a listing's age, location history, and family connections without so much as an email address. That has changed. On October 8, 2026 a search on the site stopped at the same credit card form those sites use, asking for a temporary $0.30 hold as identity validation, before any result appeared.

No filing ties truthviewer.com to a company. The site names no operator and publishes no address, and it appears on no California data-broker filing (checked October 9, 2026).
What the site itself shows is its template. It runs the same pages and the same optOutLight opt-out form as TruthRecord and WeInform, both filed in California by We Inform LLC, whose filing doesn't list truthviewer.com either. A shared template doesn't establish a shared operator. That gap, with no company or person named anywhere, is why the operator-opacity score above sits at the top of the scale.
The homepage isn't the site. truthviewer.com's front page is an affiliate-style "review" page, and the search form on it (identical fields, identical layout) submits your search to PeopleSearcher, a different broker. The real TruthViewer search lives at truthviewer.com/name/landing, and the opt-out at its own form URL below.
Data Published
Data types
When TruthViewer's listings were free to browse, in August 2026, everything below was exposed to any visitor. This list reflects what its listing pages surfaced then. Since October 8, 2026 the site's search has asked for a credit card before showing results.
Sensitive: elevated identity-theft, doxxing, or safety riskStandard public-record field
- Full names and aliases
- Age
- Current and past cities and statesSensitive
- Names of relatives shown in listingsSensitive
- Addresses in the records behind a listingSensitive
- Phone numbers in the records behind a listing
This was a free listing until recently. A paywalled report exposes your data to people willing to pay; a free listing exposes it to everyone, search engines included. TruthViewer's listings were open that way in August 2026, so pages may have been copied or indexed before the card form went up. That's a reason to remove yourself here even now.
Contact
Contacts & links
- Website
- Real search entry
No brand-level contact is published. TruthViewer's pages render entirely in the browser and publish no support email, phone, or mailing address of their own. If the on-site opt-out stalls, there's no published channel to escalate to, so keep a dated record of every submission.
Network
Related sites
TruthViewer runs the same site template and optOutLight opt-out form as truthrecord.org and weinform.org, both on We Inform LLC's California filing, but no filing or source we can cite names TruthViewer's own operator. Its homepage search form submits to peoplesearcher.com.
Each site is its own removal. Nothing documents suppression propagating between these sites, and nothing shows that opting out of TruthViewer clears TruthRecord, WeInform, or PeopleSearcher. Run each site's own form.
Not named in the 2024 MC2 Data leak. Researcher JayeLTee's list of the fifteen brands with users on the leaked server leaves truthviewer.com out, and so does the Cybernews investigation's shorter list of five brands. TruthRecord and WeInform are on JayeLTee's list; sharing their template isn't evidence TruthViewer's data was exposed.

FAQ
Q & A
Is TruthViewer a data broker?
Functionally, yes. TruthViewer publishes people-search listings (names, ages, location histories, and relatives) assembled from public-records data, which were free for anyone to browse until its search began asking for a credit card (seen October 8, 2026). Unlike TruthRecord and WeInform, truthviewer.com appeared on no California data-broker filing when we checked the registry on October 9, 2026.
Who owns TruthViewer?
The site itself doesn't say, and no filing lists it. It runs the same site template and opt-out form as TruthRecord and WeInform, two storefronts of We Inform LLC of Lauderhill, Florida, but We Inform's California filing doesn't list truthviewer.com, and a shared template doesn't establish a shared operator. No company or person is named anywhere we could read.
Why does the TruthViewer homepage search a different site?
The front page at truthviewer.com is an affiliate-style review page, and its search form, which looks exactly like a normal people-search box, submits to peoplesearcher.com, a different broker. TruthViewer's own search lives at truthviewer.com/name/landing. If you searched from the homepage, the results you saw were PeopleSearcher's, and removing yourself there is a separate opt-out.
How do I remove my information from TruthViewer?
Use the request page at truthviewer.com/api/helper/optOutLight/search. Choose Remove My Information, enter your name, add your birth date, and give your city, ZIP code and state, and give a working email. The removal doesn't complete until you click the link the site emails you. Our TruthViewer removal guide walks through each step.
Is TruthViewer covered by FCRA?
Not by its platform's account. The sites that share TruthViewer's template disclaim being consumer reporting agencies and bar using reports for employment, credit, insurance, or tenant-screening decisions. That's those sites' position rather than a ruling, so if a report was used against you in one of those decisions, the FCRA may still give you rights. None of it softens the exposure of a listing that was free to browse as recently as August 2026, which is why removal is worth doing.
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. Redact doesn't search TruthViewer for listings; Premium and Ultimate file its opt-out for you, though the app doesn't list beta brokers yet.
TruthViewer's opt-out page has been restyled and shortened. The removal answer was revised from a read of it on this date, short of submitting. September 22, 2026 · The leak note checked against both published site lists. August 11, 2026 · The earlier opt-out was confirmed by a real walkthrough the same day, when TruthViewer served the platform's forms in a bare unstyled skin. Profile otherwise drafted from TruthViewer's own site and California data broker registry filings.
