But for its insurance claims reports (CLUE), its employment reports, and its tenant history reports, it does not provide an opt-out opportunity.

To learn about ChoicePoint's insurance claims reports (CLUE), its employment reports, and its tenant history reports, read the PRC's Fact Sheet 6b on "specialty consumer reports."

(The process of having public records sealed typically requires a court order.) This will ensure that the information is not available from the public records custodian, KnowX.com, or any other information provider.

privacystatement.html

Public records, by law, must be available from the official public records offices to anyone who requests them. Because individuals cannot opt out of public records databases generally, Merlin does not offer individuals the opportunity to opt out of our public records databases - our goal is to accurately reflect the complete underlying public records database.  If you have a compelling privacy or security issue, you may wish to contact the official custodians of those public records that contain sensitive information about you, such as your county's land records office, to determine how to remove your information from the public record. This process will ensure that the information is not available from the public records custodian, Merlin, or any other information provider.

Because Merlin does not make any non-public information available to the general public, Merlin does not offer individuals the opportunity to opt out of its non-public databases.

Merlin offers access to a variety of databases of public records (such as real estate filings and court documents) and publicly available information (such as published telephone directories). Because these records do not contain a unique identifier such as Social Security number, it is impossible for Merlin to determine with any certainty what records relate to a particular individual. Unlike consumer credit reporting agencies, Merlin does not compile a credit report or other report on particular individuals because we cannot match particular records to particular individuals. Therefore, Merlin does not have a report to provide you regarding public records or publicly available information about you that Merlin may have in its databases.
