As information becomes less private and agencies release personal info due to FOIA requests, what is everyone doing to make themselves harder to find online? I’ve seen recommendations for websites that charge a fee to scrub personal information from people search websites. Does anyone have a recommendation? Has anyone tried anything? My agency seems to be much more interested in violating our privacy than protecting it.

What information would you need to scrub from the internet?

Have you checked on your guidelines on FOIA requests? There are certain limitations to it particularly for personal sensitive information. How about you workshop this with your agency and set up certain parameters and procedures for releasing information to FOAI requests.

Frankly, I just stay offline. And I encourage my wife and my kids to not post any personal information. I wish my wife would just get off Facebook altogether but she has to keep up with what all her old coworkers are up to. The only way to truly stay private is to not have any online accounts.

Many public pages only require verification you work for a legal agency to keep your identity off the Internet for free. I have used this

White and yellow pages for example

1) I know that most of you will say that buying an expensive engagement ring is a waste and bad, etc. so let’s start with the assumption that I don’t care and it’s happening
2) does it make sense to finance an engagement ring purchase or buy in cash? If financing, how much would you have to put down for a ~$30k ring? (If you’re upset by this number just replace ring with car or education or wedding or whatever you feel good about lol)
