What is the Spokeo app used for?

The Spokeo app is used as a people search engine that organizes white pages listings, public records, and social network information to help individuals find and learn about others online. It provides a wide range of details, such as contact information, background reports, and public records, often for purposes like reconnecting with old friends, conducting background checks on potential dates, researching unknown callers, or exploring neighborhood demographics. Additionally, some use Spokeo for personal security, to verify someone's identity, or to satisfy their curiosity about people they meet. However, Spokeo emphasizes that it is not to be used for employment screening, credit eligibility, or other purposes covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
