123people launches new services: Webcleaner and Social Network Monitor to support users in protecting their online reputation

VIENNA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--123people (www.123people.com), known as a leading people search engine, is launching two new services. Webcleaner and Social Network Monitor are to support users in protecting their online reputation. 123people is thereby responding to an ever-increasing demand for solutions in this area. An international study demonstrated that over 70 per cent of participants would appreciate to have a service that could meet these demands.*

With Webcleaner (www.123people.com/webcleaner), users are now able to have unwanted personal content deleted from foreign Internet sources. The demand for this kind of service became evident during an international study: 42 per cent of participants stated that they have tried to have personal information deleted from the Internet once before, yet around one third had no success in doing so.* A professional service like Webcleaner can now assist. Providing a well-priced (USD 24,90) and easy to use solution – not only for professionals, but – for all users is of top priority. If, for some reason, the request cannot be completed, the customer can receive their money back.

There is barely anybody who doesn’t share experiences, pictures, or personal information with third parties over the Internet. What’s more, for the normal user, security settings on Facebook are mostly complicated and confusing. This is where the Social Network Monitor (www.123people.com/snm) steps in. It highlights security gaps in profile privacy settings and alerts users to posts on their timeline that could be potentially damaging to their reputation. As part of its launch, the Social Network Monitor can be tested for 30 days free of charge, after which all-round protection is available from 4,99 USD per month.
