Scary site. Shouldn't this be illegal? They even list unlisted numbers

House cost assumptions can be found on zillow.com
Addresses can be found in the phone book and most of this info is 5-10 years old.
So, like Guy said, all this info is publicly available.
Anyways, it's not about being invisible online anymore, because that's impossible. You just have to know what info is out there and know that someone can use websites like this (and I'm sure there's others) to their advantage. If you're worried, you might take a minute and have yourself removed from their site.

Hahahahaha. You think anyone has privacy anymore? Go try to delete your facebook. Not disable it, delete it.

Now take a second to consider what you really did... which is associate all your info with a specific email address... which they now have in a database... which they can use in any number of sister companies to provide even more info about you... Good times.

Where do you get your information? I'm pretty curious. You always seem to repeat the most scariest situations without having a clue about how things actually work.
As for Facebook, they hold a limitless license to use your photos for whatever they want as long as your photos are on their site. If you remove your photos, then they aren't allowed to use them. But let's be real about it- what are the odds that they're gonna use your photos for anything? Probably zero. I'd be more worried about other people stealing your photos.
And while I'm at it, I'd suggest leaving the CWB guy alone on Wakeworld. He's a pretty old school dude that's been around the block more times than you've inquired about Company's financials. Besides, there's like a whole mafia of CWB riders on there that might start suggesting that you try their boards. You don't want that to happen, trust me.
