BEVERLY, MA – LocatePLUS Holdings Corp., an industry-leading provider of business-to-business and business-to-government investigative solutions, announced today it has entered into a channel partnership with MyPublicInfo, Inc. (MPI), an innovative consumer resource for the detection and prevention of identity theft.

MPI partners with leading information databanks to provide the information stored in these databanks exclusively and directly to consumers. According to the agreement, LocatePLUS has been added as a data provider for MPI’s flagship product, the Public Information Profile (PIP). PIP enables consumers to perform their own comprehensive “background checks” within minutes through the Company’s secure, online website, MyPublicInfo.com. PIP enables consumers to view information available about themselves from thousands of government and commercial databases across the county. MPI’s partnerships have passed and strictly adhere to federal regulations governing sale of background information, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Drivers Privacy and Protection Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act.


MyPublicInfo Founder and CEO Dr. Harold Kraft stated, “Identity theft, the reliability of public informational databases and privacy rights over personal information are of great concern to the general public. Our PIP product empowers consumers to identify and correct any fraudulent or erroneous information and furthermore gives ‘peace of mind’ as to what information is currently available about them.”


Dr. Kraft continued, “The accuracy of our public personal records is critical; most often this data forms the basis for qualifying individuals for employment, insurance, loans, purchasing real estate, and even voting privileges. By partnering with LocatePLUS, we have added a database that meets our high standards for data integrity, quality and reliability to provide our customers with additional, up-to-date information.”


LocatePLUS CEO Jon Latorella stated, “We are excited to partner with Dr. Kraft and participate in MyPublicInfo’s PIP product launch this month. PIP offers consumers a revolutionary way to identify and detect identity theft, and/or uncover errors in their personal records. This partnership presents a new growth opportunity for LocatePLUS to generate sales an emerging, high- growth direct-to-consumer sector.”
