<h2> How Yahoo People Search Worked </h2> Some information that was found through this website was supplied by Intelius, an information retrieval organization that licensed this data to Yahoo. Most of the information found using the tool was absolutely free, but if you decided to pursue the information that Intelius offered, you'd have to pay. The people search tool funneled publicly accessible information from phone books, white pages, and yellow pages into Yahoo&#39;s search service.

This information could all have been found on the web and was available to the public at large, meaning that none of it was sensitive, secure, or potentially harmful. A person's last name was required to find a phone number or address. A&nbsp;reverse phone number search&nbsp;could retrieve names and addresses associated with that particular phone number, and a&nbsp;search for an email address&nbsp;(last name required) could return names, addresses,&nbsp;phone numbers, and related email information.

<h2> Yahoo People Search Privacy </h2> Information found using Yahoo&#39;s people search tool was found in publicly accessible databases, online phone books, and public records. In other words, none of the information returned from Yahoo People Search was placed there without it being found somewhere on the web where it already resided.

You could request to have your information removed from the Yahoo People Search listings by using a removal form. However, this wouldn&#39;t delete your information anywhere else on the web.

There's also a Yahoo People Search tool hosted on iTools.com that might be similar to the original from Yahoo. However, the person you search for is queried against Spokeo instead of Intelius. You can also use Google as a free people search tool Was this page helpful?
