Zabasearch is a search engine, meaning that it produces or hosts no content of its own, but simply indexes what it finds on the Internet.

What are common ways for personal data to get on the Web? :
Are you in the phone book? Your information is now available on the Web. If you've conducted any kind of property transaction, that information is searchable online. Many states make voter registration records available to the public, so this is another way your information gets out. If you've ever filled out a form online, that information eventually makes its way on to the Web.

Is identity theft an issue with Zabasearch's information? :
Zabasearch is only a search engine that goes out and finds people-related information from a variety of public domain sources. Therefore, Zabasearch neither encourages or discourages identity theft; it is simply a conduit for information that is publicly available.
What is Zabasearch? :
Zabasearch, a search engine that focuses exclusively on people-related data, is a good place to start if you're trying to find someone online.
Zabasearch finds this information by looking at publicly available sources of information. This could include property records, Yellow Pages, White Pages, marketing forms, sweepstakes entries, social networking profiles, personal sites, voter registration records, and more. Zabasearch does not host this information, it just makes it easier to find it all in one convenient place.
Zabasearch is somewhat controversial because of its mistaken reputation for uncovering private, sensitive information. This is absolutely not true. Zabasearch only indexes information this is already available online for anyone to find, and is therefore free of blame.
Many people are understandably concerned with the information that is available at Zabasearch, however, unless you've taken great pains to never, EVER allow any of your personal information to become public domain (and virtually no one can claim this amazing feat), this data WILL become publicly accessible.
There are ways you can keep your information more private in the future. I suggest reading Ten Ways to Protect Your Web Privacy to get started on the road to greater anonymity.
