Types of personal information they expose:

  • Full Names
  • Current and Past Addresses
  • Phone Numbers
  • Email Addresses
  • Age
  • Relatives
  • Criminal Records
  • Property Ownership Details

Risks to privacy if the data is not removed:

If the data is not removed, it can pose privacy risks such as identity theft, stalking, harassment, and unauthorized access to sensitive personal information by strangers or malicious actors.
