Online Databases with opt-out provisions

Websites that sell or provide free, public and non-public personal information, allow listed individuals to opt-out. A sampling of some of these very familiar companies is listed at the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. The obvious problems attend for locate and background investigations. There's no way to know if someone has opted-out. But if you rely on one of these companies, you may miss your target.
