California Birth Index

Like others have said very private information is being shared publicly including mothers maiden name and place of birth, and there is no way to opt out. Their email just bounces. Regulators need to step up and remove this website asap, it’s enabling identity fraud.

Californiabirthindex.com has published my personal information including full name, full date of birth, mother's maiden name, and location of birth. I am going through identity fraud right now, and this information that is public on Californiabirthindex.com has been detrimental to my well being and has harmed me in many ways. my bank account was hacked, along with a credit card of mine, and a fake website was listed in my company name. Remove this website immediately as they are in violation of 5 U.S. Code 552a

California birth index has been violating the privacy of people, advertising false information and putting people at risk! This website lies, saying it’s affiliated with California birth records, they are not! I have hired an attorney, moving forward with a lawsuit.
This website refuses to remove information and now they fail to respond.
I will sue for damages, including court costs and attorney fees. My attorney said I will win because of their business tactics, lies and deception. We visited their janky office a week ago, nobody was there. We have a zoom chat scheduled with the landlord tomorrow. The district attorney is on this website, proceeding with taking them down permanently!

My name, complete DATE OF BIRTH, phone, address is on line. When I call my bank for any personal information including transactions on my accounts, they ask for my name and birthday. And that is all for them to do any transactions I want. I can't believe that you put this information for public to see. Anyone else can get access to everything I have by just look up my name on the internet. Is that legal? Please help me and remove these information.

Review: I have repeatedly contacted this company and kindly asked them to remove my personal birth information for privacy reasons because I have been the victim of identity theft and do not wish for my personal information to be publicly accessible and have received no response and the information remains on the website.Desired Settlement: I simply wish for the entry on the website with my personal information to be removed a.s.a.p.

Review: On or about December 15 2014, I looked up my first and last name using a search engine such as google.com, and upon browsing a website with the name of "http://www.californiabirthindex.org" listed my names, date of birth,my mother's maiden name, current age and city of residence. My concern with this is that this violates 5 U.S. Code 552a - Records maintained on individuals; and California Constitution Section 1, Article 1; this company is still publishing privileged information current as of today 05/21/2014 under "http://www.californiabirthindex.org" of the same entity. I sent an electronic correspondence on or about December 15, 2014, to the californiabirthindex.org asking them politely to take the information down and was met without response from this company. I am upset about this "http://www.californiabirthindex.org" and I would like for Revdex.com to take this information down, otherwise, I will file several complaints to other governmental bodies. The FTC has been notified as of March 16, 2014. I trust that you can help me with this. Please put an end to this immediately. This is violating my privacy rights and may lead to the theft of my identity by online pirates.Desired Settlement: I would like all information(including any "sister" sites) removed completely. Please also list complaint in Revdex.com site as well.

Review: The californiabirthindex.org website publicly advertises extremely sensitive personal information that leaves me vulnerable to identity theft. This is a gross invasion of privacy. They have not responded to numerous requests to remove my information.Desired Settlement: Immediate and permanent removal of my information from the californiabirthindex.org website and CABI database and any other websites that sell or post this information.

Review: Privacy of information. It publishes my childs birthday and his name along with my name on the internet without my permission. It exploses my family to identity theft. It goes beyond public information.Desired Settlement: this website to be removed.

Review: Personal information is posted online. While it is public record in CA and the US, in the age of the internet, it is also public worldwide. I am concerned for my privacy. Things that are generally considered private (e.g. mother's maiden name) are being made widely public -- especially without my consent.Desired Settlement: Removal of my listing from their site and their affiliate sites, Rootsweb and ancestry.com.

Review: this website has my date of birth my mother and fathers names, mothers maiden name, and where is was born. they claim this is legal but it's not. Iv'e tried to contact them. 000 response. With identity theft problems iv'e asked them to remove this information over 20 times with no luck.Desired Settlement: Remove my information from the site

Review: I am aware that birth records are public records. Nevertheless, to publish this information online and make the information to easy to obtain in this age of increasing identity theft, is irresponsible and outside of the scope of "public record." Yes, this information is accessible to the public, but it should not be displayed to the entire world population. I believe that posting my date of birth and mother's maiden name is detrimental to my financial well being. It is giving out a piece of the information that criminals collect to impersonate and steal identities. They are being handed my personal information, given a head start through which to obtain additional information and steal my identity. It is one thing to visit a county recorder's office and complete a written request for information. It is quite another to display, freely and publicly, personal information for any anonymous person in the world to use. Please remove my date of birth and mother's maiden name from this website.Desired Settlement: Please remove my date of birth and mother's maiden name from this website.

Review: VIOLATION OF PRIVACY AND PROMOTION OF IDENTITY THEFT THROUGH UNREGULATEDPUBLICITY OF PUBLIC RECORDSThe sole proprietor at CaliforniaBirthIndex.org (although guarding his or her own privacy and registration information in WHOIS and elsewhere) is freely and recklessly making available via the internet and to all major search engines the contents of a database of California Birth and other records, including full names, maiden names, dates of birth and places of birth to any visitor without any restriction.The provision of this information without any permission from the persons involved or their families is actively providing valuable information to would-be identity thieves. Identity theft is a serious and widespread problem in California and in the United States. The information could be used for even more serious violations including those directly or indirectly related to international terrorism.The person or entity behind this activity should be subject to investigation in order to ascertain exactly the extent of information collection and provision in the US and abroad.Desired Settlement: REMOVAL OF RECORD [redacted]That the records which are freely and in a completely unregulated manner provided free of charge to the internet and through all major search engines be expeditiously removed and expunged from the business' system.

Review: This agency has all my information on its website to include my dob and my mother's maiden name. This agency makes identity theft so easy by posting all this information out there. This website needs to be deleted or terminated from all websites.Desired Settlement: They need to remove all personal data off their website.

Review: Hello:

Since November 2013, I have contacted California Birth Index (californiabirthindex.org) 15 times to request the removal of my personal information. Currently, my full legal name, date of birth and mother's maiden name is listed on California Birth Index website.Desired Settlement: I would like the removal of my personal information and written confirmation of the removal.

Review: This website posts personal information without permission and with no option for removal which violates legal privacy rights. As a result my personal information exposes me to extreme high risks for identity theft. Although, the site claims this is public information, this information would need to be otherwise searched through public records rather than posting and exposing identity information at a click of a name. most major banks and credit card companies request and use this same infomation that is readily exposed by californiabirthindex.org to identify if you are the person you say to be.I want my information to be removed from their website and affliate sites.Desired Settlement: Site removal for violation of individual rights and privacy

Review: Very personal information is being made publicly available online without my consent.Desired Settlement: Removal of my information from database and from public online access.
