Wow. I just typed in "Jenna Bush" and a few celebrity names, and got detailed address info, email, etc. This isn't safe.

Try "Antonin Scalia" or "Nancy Pelosi"... We need privacy laws! (Now, let's see, what's the name of the president of Blue Shield...)

How did you get your information removed from Google?

I didn't get my name removed from Google searches, I only got it so that searches on my name and telephone didn't allow for mapping of my location. If that would be useful to you, please post again, I will try to dig up the email from which I learned how to do this.

Please post the removal instructions .. Thanks !

Our listing included much more than the last name and initials only that are listed with our telephone number with Pacbell.

Whitepages.com FAQ gives instructions to remove information:
Click on "Listing Detail" under your name and information. Then scroll down about 2/3 to "WhitePages.com Privacy Options" and click on "Is this you? Remove your listing" The screen that comes up asks you to select a reason (incorrect information, general privacy concerns etc.) then type in a random word shown. After selecting the Remove button a screen told me the information would be removed in 3-5 business days.

You can try removing your info from various sites, but it will pop up again when they buy new info, or on other sites that you didn't know about or that are new. Plus sites sell detailed info a la credit reports to anyone for cash.

I also see that to remove info from that particular site you have to send them info like your Social Security number and birth date, I think not :-) although the irritating fact is that they probably have that already.

Just to make it more thrilling, a lot of the data is bad. That site has me completely scrambled together with my ex-sister-in-law, who has the same first and last names, and who is a credit deadbeat.

My husband and I were not listed so I presume we are 'anonymous' - or maybe dead?

Most of the information has always been public record, it just required effort to locate. Change your expectation of privacy.
