In 2006, Intelius acquired Bothell, a background check, drug screening company. In 2009, the company acquired Spock, a people oriented search engine.

The company also created a mobile app for both Android and iOS that allows users to perform people searches, reverse phone lookups and background check services directly from their mobile device.

Whitepages.Com Corporate Office

Whitepages was founded in 1997 by Alex Algard. While studying at Stanford, Algard called information for a friend’s phone number. The number given was incorrect, possibly due to outdated whitepages.

Algard realized that changes could be made more quickly if the old white pages phone books were put online.

Algard paid $900 for the domain name, which emptied his bank account. He worked on the website on weekends. Eventually, the website began earning Algard more money than his job at Goldman Sachs, so he quit and began to work full-time on his website.

Algard incorporated Whitepages.Com in 2000.

The site grew and attracted more advertisers. The company brokered deals with Yellowpages and Superpages, whereby Whitepages earned revenue for sending them referral traffic. By 2005, $15 million in annual revenues was coming from these contracts.

In 2010, Superpages and Yellowpages cut back spending with Whitepages from $33 million to $7 million, causing a substantial decline in revenues and a tense relationship with investors. Algard spent $50 million in cash the company had on-hand and $30 million from a bank loan, to buy out the investors in 2013. He also used his personal house, savings account, and personal belongings as collateral for the loan. Algard began shifting the company’s business model to reduce its reliance on advertising and instead focus on business users and paid subscriptions.

Whitepages and similar services have been criticized because of the danger caused by listing the personal information and physical addresses of unwitting people openly online, and for profiting off the exploitation of personal data.

Kelley Blue Book Corporate Office

Les Kelley began the Kelley Kar Company back in 1918. He had 3 Model T Fords for sale. By using data that he collected from his dealership, Kelley published the company’s first Blue Book in 1926, which became a standard guide in the automotive trade for determining car value.

Kelley Blue Book, Inc., was formed in 1926 and Kelley’s automotive dealership continued for several decades. By the 1960s, however, the company sold the dealership and focused full-time on the KBB.

KBB became the first car selling guide to use mileage as a part of determining a car’s value.

In 1995, Kelley Blue Book created its company website, which contained tips and pricing information from its hardcopy guide.

In 2012-2014, Harris Poll recognized Kelley Blue Book as the Online Auto Shopping Brand of the Year.

Due to the pandemic of 2020, “average” new car prices have now topped $45K and used cars $25K, according to KBB.

MyLife Corporate Office

Jeffrey Tinsley founded MyLife.Com originally under the name Reunion.Com in 2002.

The company is an information broker, gathering information from public sources and other sites, such as social media, to create “MyLife Public Page” about individuals that anyone can access.

The information available can range from home addresses, work history, age, phone numbers, current and past employers, photos, relatives, etc.

In 2007, after receiving $25 million in venture funding, the company changed its name to MyLife.Com.

In 2011, a lawsuit against MyLife said the company was engaging in false advertising practices, similar to what was alleged in a 2008 Classmates.Com class-action lawsuit. The suit also accused MyLife of false solicitation by offering monthly memberships and then charging members’ credit cards at the annual rate.

 The class-action suit also accused MyLife of spamming contacts improperly gathered from the address books of those visiting the site.  U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken’s ruling consolidated the 2011 class-action lawsuit with two other fraud class actions against MyLife. Ultimately the lawsuit was dismissed.

In October 2021, the company was hit with another class-action lawsuit stating that the company violates the privacy of those who have never visited the site.

Also in October 2021, MyLife.Com had a C rating on the Better Business Bureau site with no accreditation. From 2018 to 2020, the BBB received almost 14,000 complaints about MyLife.Com.
