How to Find Your Face on the Internet

Reducing your internet presence involves parallel tracks: discovering harmful content (NCII through discovery tools), suppressing search results (Google and Bing visibility), identifying personal information (data broker searches), and securing existing accounts. For NCII specifically, proactive measures can help uncover its presence. For general personal information, addresses, phone numbers, family relationships, data broker services collect and sell this data, and most provide access mechanisms that must be pursued individually.
