So there have been some mass blackmail issues in my area and I decided to see how much info a person could get from my hobby phone and email. I paid for a background check on my self and they basically found everything including my real name, birthdate, real facebook account, pictures, hobby twitter, home phone number, possible family members which was partially accurate and every address for last 20 years most of which I didn't even remember I lived at. So here are my questions.
   Do providers typically keep and share this information? I used p411 so not sure if they still would have done a complete back ground check but I am guessing they still would when I started due to no references. Do they typically share detailed info with other providers when asked for a reference or is a simple ok or not ok all that is shared?  
   I have decided to delete facebook, twitter and get a new hobby phone and email just to be on the safe side but is it to late? Can I see any of my former providers? Do I need to delete all p411 and TER accounts too? Is there anyway to keep my whitelist referrals and OKs? I really don't want to start over again.

other than what is on your profile, which is controlled by you.  

Generally when requesting references, we only say yes, we liked you and would see you again, or no, we didn't.  Not much info is usually exchanged UNLESS the providers are friends and genuinely trust and like each other.

Also, be aware that if you change your email and hobby phone you will have no way of proving to the providers that you've previously seen that you are who you say you are; your only option at that point will be to go into details about the session, and hope she remembers, which is a crap-shoot.  And when asked for a reference, the referencee (the new potential provider) will give the referencer (the provider you've already seen) your new email and phone number, and the referencer will honestly answer that she has no record of seeing you.

Just some things to consider.

to your real persona in some way?  Did you give Yahoo your real name & address?  Your Hobby Phone?   I didn't.  Yahoo has a false name & no address.  though new yahoo registrations are required to provide a mobile number so they can text passwords & such as being more secure than other means. My hobby phone is linked to the default...  company address in Florida.  

I do not feel any of the free email services are really secure.

FB is a huge data mining operation.  Tell who all your friends & relatives are...  pesky thing keeps prompting for more intrusive info. Everything you click or like builds a data base for Google to target ads.  I looked a product on Amazon & decided not to purchase.  Next time I am viewing FB I get the exact same product being advertised to me.  (If I wanted it, I would have bought it already!)  
I only view FB now... only to view grandkids pictures when they are put up.  I do not post or comment.  You might be better to delete your account & start over.  I use separate emails for different purposes.  All these social things are to link everything into an advertising product.  Block cookies that you can, delete cookies frequently.  Run anti spy ware, antivirus software
