Broker profile
TruthViewer
A free, no-account people search whose listings surface names, ages, location histories, and relatives to anyone who types a name - no paywall gates the results. The site shares its server, codebase, and payment-processor payee record with TruthRecord and WeInform, and the company those records point to is Private Records LLC of Orlando, though truthviewer.com appears on none of that company's California registry filings. 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.

Each broker is scored 1 to 4 across the six dimensions above; higher means more exposure, and the overall gauge is their average.
Complaint record is not established for this broker, so it is left out of the gauge rather than averaged in as a number nobody researched. The figure above is the average 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
Background
TruthViewer is the odd storefront out in its family - where its platform siblings funnel every search into a paid trial, TruthViewer's listings are free and anonymous. That makes it more exposing, not less, because anyone can browse a listing's age, location history, and family connections without so much as an email address.

How we tie the site to a company at all is worth spelling out, because no filing does it. truthviewer.com resolves to the same server as TruthRecord and WeInform, serves byte-identical code, and settles through the same payment-processor payee record - and that payee record names Private Records LLC, the Orlando company whose own stable includes privaterecords.net, PeopleSearch123, Background Checkers, and PersonSearchers. Private Records LLC's BBB file also lists MC2 Data, LLC as an alternate name. That listing runs one way, since MC2 Data's own file gives PrivateRecords as its only alternate name, but the two files share a phone number and a manager.
What's missing is the registration. Private Records LLC's California data-broker filings name four sites, and truthviewer.com is not one of them - so the brand sits outside the paper trail Private Records LLC keeps for the storefronts it does file. That gap, plus the absence of any named human in that company's filings, is why the operator-opacity score above sits at the top of the scale.
The homepage is not 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 in the same cluster. The real TruthViewer search lives at truthviewer.com/name/landing, and the opt-out at its own form URL below.
Data Published
Data types
TruthViewer's listings are free to browse, so everything below is exposed to any visitor - no card, no account, no gate. This list reflects what its listing pages surface.

Free listings spread further. A paywalled report exposes your data to people willing to pay; a free listing exposes it to everyone, search engines included. If you triage which removals to run first, free-listing sites like this one belong near the top.

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. Private Records LLC's documented channels belong to the storefronts it registers - if the on-site opt-out stalls, the sibling brands' support channels are the reachable ones.
Network
Sister brands
Three sites - truthviewer.com, truthrecord.org, and weinform.org - resolve to the same server, serve byte-identical code, and settle through the same payee record, while their paper trails point to two different companies. Around that trio sits the wider shared-platform cluster security researchers attribute to MC2 Data, including Private Records LLC's own registered storefronts.
Each cluster site is its own removal. Nothing documents suppression propagating between these brands - opting out of TruthViewer does not clear TruthRecord, WeInform, or Private Records LLC's other storefronts. Run each site's own form.
Not named in the 2024 MC2 Data leak. Researcher JayeLTee's list of the fifteen brands in the leaked database leaves truthviewer.com out, and so does the Cybernews investigation's shorter list of sites MC2 Data runs. Private Records LLC's privaterecords.net is on both, a one-hop connection we report as infrastructure, not as evidence TruthViewer's data was exposed.
Reputation
Trust signals
TruthViewer has no readable review record. Its SmartCustomer listing shows 0.0 stars with no review volume behind it, Trustpilot blocked our check behind a bot challenge, and the BBB has no profile under the brand name. With Trustpilot unread, the scorecard above marks the complaint record "Not established" rather than scoring an absence.
Litigation
Litigation history
A CourtListener full-text search for truthviewer.com returns nothing - consistent with a brand that stays off the filings of the company linked to it.
We have not found litigation, an FTC enforcement action, or a data breach naming truthviewer.com as of the last-updated date below. Private Records LLC's other properties have their own records - see the Private Records LLC brands linked in the Network section.
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, free for anyone to browse. What it lacks is the paperwork. Unlike its platform siblings, truthviewer.com appears on none of Private Records LLC's California data-broker filings, so the brand sits outside the registry Private Records LLC keeps for the storefronts it does file.
Who owns TruthViewer?
The site itself doesn't say, and no filing lists it. The payment-processor payee record behind truthviewer.com names Private Records LLC, an Orlando company whose registered stable includes privaterecords.net, PeopleSearch123, Background Checkers, and PersonSearchers - and the site shares a server and byte-identical code with TruthRecord and WeInform, two storefronts of a separate Florida company on the same platform. No human being is named in any of the relevant filings.
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 in the same cluster. 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 opt-out form at truthviewer.com/api/helper/optOutLight/search. Search your name and state, click REMOVE on your record, and submit the verification form with a working email - the removal doesn't complete until you click the link the site emails you, and the platform's stated window for that email is 48 hours. Our TruthViewer removal guide walks through each step.
Is TruthViewer covered by FCRA?
Not by its platform's account. The sites TruthViewer shares its code with disclaim being consumer reporting agencies and bar using reports for employment, credit, insurance, or tenant-screening decisions. That's the operators' 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 does soften the exposure of a free listing - which is why removal is worth doing.
Take yourself off data broker sites
Redact scans 120+ data broker sites from your device, finds where your details are listed, and submits the removal requests for you. If a broker relists you, it files again.
