Q: I found my personal address on a website that wants me to pay to remove it. Is this legal?
I occasionally search my name on the internet and this website, 411.info has my address listed on their site. They want me to pay to remove it. As a single disabled senior lady, this has me very concerned.
A: A Washington attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Unfortunately, it is difficult to control privacy of personal information these days. A starting point could be to contact agencies in your state that deal with consumer rights, communications, and privacy - to ask if they could offer guidance. Good luck
